1 Introduction

Welcome to ToonNest – your cozy online destination for reading comics, manga, and webtoons. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use our mobile application, website, and related services.

By using ToonNest, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies, please do not use our application.

2 Information We Collect

We collect different types of information to provide and continuously improve your reading experience. The exact data collected depends on how you interact with ToonNest.

Important Note on Reading Privacy

ToonNest deeply respects your reading privacy. Your personal library, reading history, and bookmarks are considered private content. We do not publicly display your reading activity unless you explicitly choose to share it through our community features (such as reviews or public bookshelves).

3 How We Use Your Information

We do not sell your personal reading data to third parties. Recommendations are generated algorithmically based on your reading patterns and expressed preferences.

4 Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information or your individual reading data. We share information only in these limited and necessary circumstances:

• With your consent: When you explicitly choose to share reviews, ratings, or your public bookshelf with the ToonNest community.
• Service providers: Trusted third parties who help us operate our business (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, payment processing, content delivery networks). They are bound by strict data protection agreements.
• Publishers & Content Creators: Aggregated, anonymized statistics (e.g., "most read genres this month") may be shared with comic publishers and creators. No individual reading data is ever disclosed.
• Legal compliance: If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process (e.g., court order or subpoena).
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred to the new entity with prior notice to you.

5 Data Storage & Security

Cloud Storage

Your account data, reading history, bookmarks, and personal library are stored on our secure cloud servers. This enables seamless syncing across all your devices so you can pick up right where you left off.

Local Caching

ToonNest caches recently read chapters locally on your device for faster loading and smoother reading. You can clear this cache at any time through the app settings.

Security Measures

• All data transmitted between the app and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2+.
• Passwords are hashed and salted using bcrypt for maximum security.
• Access to our production environment is strictly restricted to authorized personnel only.
• We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to protect your data.

6 Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including your complete reading history.
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate account information at any time.
• Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data, including reading history and personal library.
• Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format for your own use.
• Opt-out: Withdraw consent for personalized recommendations or marketing communications.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at risdewani354@gmail.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

7 Children's Privacy

ToonNest offers a diverse range of comic content for readers of all ages. Some content is suitable for younger readers, while other titles are intended for mature audiences and are clearly labeled as such within the app.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your country) without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without proper consent, we will delete that information promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at risdewani354@gmail.com.

8 International Data Transfers

ToonNest operates globally, connecting readers with comics and manga from creators around the world. If you use our services, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We maintain servers in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

When we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area or other regions with comprehensive data protection laws, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection rules than your country of residence.

9 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or via email (if you have an account) and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of ToonNest after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
