Manga Log Privacy Policy

Last updated November 6, 2026

Manga Log is a browser extension that turns your browsing history into a reading list for the manga and comic sites you choose. Your list stays on your device. The developer never receives your data, and the extension has no accounts, ads or analytics.

What the extension reads

• Browsing history. When you click Scan history, Manga Log reads your browser history for the sites listed in its Settings. It keeps only pages on those sites, with their URLs, page titles and visit times. Other history is ignored and is not saved.
• New visits. After your first scan, the extension saves new visits to those sites as they happen, so your list outlasts your browser's history. You can turn this off in Settings with "Keep recording new visits".
• Files you import. If you choose a Google Takeout export or a Manga Log backup with Import file, the extension reads that file on your device and keeps only entries for your listed sites.

Where your data is kept

Your list and settings are stored in your browser, on your device, using the extension's own storage. They are not uploaded, synced or sent to the developer.

What is shared, and with whom

By default, nothing leaves your device.

Two optional features use the network, and both are off by default.

New chapter checks. If you tick "New chapters" for a site in Settings, your browser asks you to give the extension access to that site. When you then click "Check for new chapters", the extension requests the pages, or chapter lists, of series you've read on that site, from that site only, and reads the chapters on them. The site can see those requests and your IP address, as with any page you open. Your cookies are not sent, and nothing about your list is sent to anyone else. The results are stored on your device. Untick the site and no more requests are made.

Cover background. If you turn on "Show covers from my list in the background", which in some browsers asks for your consent first:

• the titles of series in your list are sent over an encrypted connection to AniList, a public manga database, to find their cover images, and
• your browser loads those images from AniList's servers, which can see your IP address, as with any website.

Only series titles are sent, without URLs, visit dates or any information about you. Cover links are saved on your device so that a title isn't looked up again. Turn the setting off, or withdraw that consent in your browser's add-on settings, and no more requests are made.

Links in your list, and the donation link, open the website they point to only when you click them. That website's own privacy policy then applies.

Your data is never sold, and it is never used for advertising, for determining creditworthiness, or for any purpose other than showing you your reading list.

Deleting your data

Click Delete saved data in Settings to remove your saved list, cover links and new chapter results. Removing the extension deletes everything it stored. Neither action changes your browser history. The developer holds no copy of your data, so there is nothing else to delete.

Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes to this policy

If the extension's data practices change, this page will be updated and the change will be disclosed in the extension before it takes effect.
