How We Use Information
Information collected by ManhwaX is used for the following purposes:

- ▸Analytics. Aggregate, anonymized data from Google Analytics helps us understand which content readers find most useful and how they navigate the site.
- ▸Security. Server log data is reviewed to detect unusual access patterns, potential abuse, or unauthorized attempts to access the platform.
- ▸Responding to inquiries. When you contact us by email or submit a DMCA notice, we use the information you provide solely to respond to your request.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use data collected through normal browsing to build individual user profiles for advertising purposes.
Log Files
Server log files record IP addresses, browser type and version, ISP, referring and exit pages, date/time stamps, and click counts. This data is used for diagnostics and security. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information and are retained for up to 90 days.

Your reading history is stored entirely in your browser localStorage — it never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. Clear it at any time from the History page on the site or through your browser settings.

Adult Content Notice
ManhwaX hosts hentai manhwa, manhwa hentai, webtoon hentai, and related explicit content intended for adults aged 18+. Certain jurisdictions restrict adult content. It is your responsibility to ensure accessing this content is lawful in your location.
If you are under 18 or in a jurisdiction where adult content is restricted, you must not use this platform.
Children's Privacy
ManhwaX is strictly for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has accessed the site, contact us at [email protected] immediately.
International Users
ManhwaX is accessible globally. By using the site, you consent to data transfers across international borders in accordance with this policy.
Data Minimization
ManhwaX is designed to collect as little personal information as possible while still functioning effectively as a reading platform.
- ▸No account required. You can browse and read all content without creating an account, providing an email address, or submitting any personal information.
- ▸Limited collection. We do not collect names, payment information, or demographic data. The only data collected automatically is standard server log information and aggregate analytics.
- ▸Essential data only. Information is only collected where it serves a specific operational purpose — security monitoring, site performance, or responding to direct inquiries.
This approach means less data to protect and fewer privacy risks for readers. If you do not contact us directly, the only information associated with your visit is anonymized log data that cannot identify you personally.
Third-Party Links
ManhwaX pages may contain links to external websites, partner sites, and third-party services. These sites operate independently and are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
When you follow a link to an external site, you leave ManhwaX and the privacy practices of that site apply to your visit. We have no control over how third-party sites collect, use, or protect your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information or continuing to use it.
The presence of a link to an external site on ManhwaX does not constitute an endorsement of that site or its privacy practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make meaningful changes, we will update the Last Updated date. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
