Welcome to Mangamello! This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect your personal and non-personal information when you use our application(s). By using our services, you agree to the practices described here. We may update this policy periodically, so please review it regularly.

Age Restrictions & Children's Privacy

This app is intended for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will promptly delete it from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.

• When required to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others

Third-Party Services and Advertising. Our app uses third-party advertising networks and services which may collect and process certain device or usage information (for example, Google AdMob). We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services. For example, Google AdMob may collect device information, usage data, and advertising identifiers for personalized advertising.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:

• Google Privacy Policy
• AdMob Privacy Policy
• Firebase Privacy Policy

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures (such as encryption in transit, access controls, regular audits) to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or storage is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services or fulfil the purposes described in this policy, and as required by law. Specifically:

• Your account data is retained until you request deletion or until your account has been inactive for a defined period (for example, one year of no activity).
• Automatically collected usage or crash data is retained in an anonymised or aggregated form for as long as reasonably required to support app performance and analytics.

6. Account Deletion & User Rights

You have rights including: access, correction, data deletion, objection to processing, and data portability.

Data Deletion Process. To request complete deletion of your data:

• Send an email to [email protected]

Upon receiving your request, we will stop collecting new data immediately and delete all stored personal data associated with your account within 30 days unless retention is required by law or for fraud-prevention. We will confirm deletion via email.

7. Cookies, Tracking & Advertising

Our app and our advertising partners may use cookies, mobile ad IDs, and similar tracking technologies to improve service delivery and display relevant advertisements. You can control your preferences: for example, by resetting your Advertising ID or opting out of personalised advertising in your device settings.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. When we do so, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data (such as standard contractual clauses, secure data-centres, or other mechanisms in accordance with applicable law).
