1.Introduction
Mangastic ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") is a manga reading application. The App is free to use and offers an optional paid subscription ("Mangastic Premium"). This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you use the App and the choices you have. By installing or using Mangastic, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We keep data collection to a minimum. Mangastic does not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or other personal contact details in order to read manga.
2.Information Collection and Use
Your in-app data — including your settings, favorites, and reading progress — is stored locally on your device and is not collected or stored by us. This information remains on your device until you clear the App's data or uninstall it.
The App uses a small number of third-party services that may collect information used to operate and improve the App:
- Google Firebase Analytics — aggregate usage data such as screens viewed, app interactions, and searches made inside the App. Analytics may derive an approximate (city-level) location from your IP address. This helps us understand how the App is used and improve it.
- Google Firebase Crashlytics — crash logs and diagnostic information (such as device model, operating system version, and the state of the App at the time of a crash), used to find and fix bugs and improve stability.
- Google Firebase Remote Config — delivers configuration settings to the App (for example, feature settings) using a randomly generated installation identifier.
- Adapty — manages in-app subscriptions. Adapty processes your purchase history, subscription status, and device identifiers so that your Premium access works and can be restored across reinstalls.
- Google Play Billing — processes all payments. We never receive or store your credit card number or other payment credentials.
The App does not contain advertising, and we do not sell your personal information.
3.Purchases and Subscriptions
Payments for Mangastic Premium are processed entirely by Google Play using the payment method attached to your Google account. We do not see or store your payment details. To operate the subscription service, our service provider Adapty receives and stores a record of your purchases (such as the product purchased, price, currency, and subscription status) together with app-generated identifiers. This information is used to verify and maintain your Premium entitlement and for aggregate revenue analytics; it is not used for advertising and is not sold.
4.Log Data
Whenever you use the App, in the case of an error or for normal operation, data and information (through third-party products and our servers) may be collected. This "Log Data" may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the App, the time and date of your use, and other statistics. This data is used to deliver content and to diagnose and fix problems.
5.Identifiers
The App itself does not use cookies. The third-party services above use device or app identifiers — such as a randomly generated app-instance ID, installation IDs, and (where available) the Android advertising ID — to operate their services. You can reset or delete the advertising ID, or limit its use, in your device's privacy settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).
6.Service Providers
We may employ third-party companies and services to facilitate the App, to provide the service on our behalf, to perform service-related functions, or to help us analyze how the App is used. These third parties have access to limited data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
- Google (Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config; Google Play Billing) — https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Adapty (subscription management) — https://adapty.io/privacy/
- Hosting & content delivery providers — used to serve manga pages and images to your device.
7.Data Retention and Deletion
Analytics and crash data is retained by our service providers for a limited period (for Firebase Analytics, user-level data is retained for up to 14 months by default) and is then deleted or aggregated. Purchase records are retained for as long as needed to provide your subscription and to meet legal and accounting obligations.
Data stored locally on your device (settings, favorites, reading history, downloads) is deleted when you clear the App's data or uninstall the App. Uninstalling the App stops all data collection. You may also request deletion of data associated with your device's identifiers by contacting us (see "Contact Us" below).
8.Security
All data transmitted by the App is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). We value your trust in using Mangastic and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
9.Links to Other Sites
The App may contain links to other sites or services. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
10.Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to anyone under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with such information, we will take the necessary action to remove it.
11.Copyright Policy
Mangastic displays manga and related content provided by third parties for personal reading only. We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you are a copyright owner, or an agent thereof, and believe that any content available through the App infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown request with sufficient detail to identify the work. Valid takedown requests are reviewed and responded to, typically within 14 business days.
12.Copyright Disclaimer
We do not claim ownership of any third-party works displayed through the App. All trademarks, titles, characters, and content remain the property of their respective owners. The App provides access to content and does not host or assert rights over the underlying works.
13.Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
