At a glance
You can read chapters without registering. We are not building ad profiles from what you open. The data we touch is mostly infrastructure: server logs, optional on-device reading history, and staff-only cookies behind the admin login that regular readers never see.
Information we handle
Traffic logs. Each page or image request may record IP address, browser type, requested URL, referrer when your browser sends one, and a timestamp. We use that to keep the site online, block abusive scrapers, and understand broad traffic patterns, not to track individuals across other websites.
Reading history on your device. When you open a chapter, HinataManhwa may store a small reading history entry in your browser so the History page can show recent titles. That list stays on your device unless you clear it from that page. Public reader routes do not set marketing cookies.
Staff admin session. Cookies on /admin exist only for catalog staff who sign in. If you never visit admin, those cookies are never set.
Local preferences. Theme or reader settings may live in browser storage on your phone or laptop until you clear site data.
Information we skip
- Selling or renting visitor data to brokers.
- Requiring email, username, or payment details to read.
- Running third-party ad trackers inside the chapter reader.
- Building cross-site profiles from your chapter history.
Partners & infrastructure
HinataManhwa is hosted on cloud infrastructure with CDN and object storage providers that process technical requests under their own terms. Typography may load from Google Fonts, which means your browser can contact Google directly when a page opens. Block that in browser settings if you prefer; the site falls back to system fonts.
How long we keep logs
Access logs rotate on a limited schedule for security and debugging, then are deleted. We do not keep a permanent file on casual browsing.
Reach out about privacy
To ask what we hold that might relate to your visit, email [email protected] with subject line Privacy Request. Include the approximate date and time if you can. You can also use the contact page.
When this page changes
If HinataManhwa adds features that collect new data, such as optional accounts later on, we will update this policy and the date above. Material changes will be described here in plain language.
