Privacy Policy

Introduction

Mangaplay Studio is developed by Absolutely Skint (Pistol Taeja).

Mangaplay Studio is a storyboard and screenplay creator that comes in two forms: a website at mangaplay.studio, and a Chrome extension for use with files in Google Drive. Both run in your browser. They share the same purpose and the same privacy approach.

We do not collect, transmit, or store your creative work. Mangaplay Studio runs in your browser.

When you use the Chrome extension, it works only on the file you pick. It transforms the file in your browser and writes the result back to that same file. Nothing passes through our servers. We have no cloud servers hosting your data.

This policy covers both products. Jump to the section that applies to you:

• Mangaplay Studio Website
• Mangaplay Studio for Google (Chrome extension)

Mangaplay Studio Website

The Mangaplay Studio website runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no sign-up, and no server-side storage of your work.

Information We Collect

Automatically collected via Google Analytics:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Device information
• Pages visited
• Referral URL

We do NOT collect:

• Names
• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Payment information
• File contents
• Scripts or any user-created content

How We Use Information

We use the data collected by analytics to understand site traffic and usage patterns, and to improve the application.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics. It places cookies on your device to collect anonymous usage data. This helps us understand how visitors interact with Mangaplay Studio.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

In addition to the client-side Google Analytics tag, the web app at /app sends a single anonymous engagement event per session to our analytics endpoint at api.absolutelyskint.com, which forwards it to Google Analytics using the Measurement Protocol. This event contains no personal information — only your app version, a randomly generated client ID stored in localStorage, and the event name. No file content, account details, or browsing history is included.

Third-Party Services

Google Analytics is the only third-party service we use. We do not use any ad networks, payment processors, or other third-party tracking services.

Local Storage on Your Device

All user scripts, settings, and application state are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. There is no server-side storage. See our Local Data Policy for the full list of keys and what each one holds.

Your Choices

• Opt out of Google Analytics using the Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Clear your browser data at any time to remove all locally stored information, including scripts, preferences, and application state. You can also use Settings → Reset inside the app.

Mangaplay Studio for Google (Chrome Extension)

Mangaplay Studio for Google is a Chrome extension that adds a side panel for working on a single file you choose. It reads that file, transforms it in your browser, and writes the result back to the same file. Nothing passes through our servers. We have no cloud servers hosting your data.

Permissions We Request (OAuth)

When you sign in, Google asks you to approve two permissions. We request only these two. We do not request any other Google permission.

• userinfo.profile. Lets the extension show your name and profile picture in the account menu so you can confirm which Google account you are signed in as. Your name and picture stay in the extension on your device. We do not send them anywhere.
• drive.file. Lets the extension open the one file you pick using the Google file picker, and lets the extension write back to that same file. This permission does not let the extension see, list, or open any other file in your Google Drive.

What We Access

The extension only accesses the file you pick in the Google file picker. It cannot browse, search, or list the rest of your Google Drive. If you want the extension to work on a different file, you pick that file yourself.

What We Do With It

All work happens in your browser. The extension reads the file you picked, builds the storyboard or screenplay view, and writes your edits back to that same file using the Google Drive API. No copy of your file is sent to us or to any third party.

What We Store

On our servers: nothing. We have no cloud servers hosting your data.

On your device, inside the extension:

• A short-lived Google sign-in token, your name, and your profile picture. Stored in chrome.storage.session. Cleared when you close the browser or sign out.
• Your settings, such as language, theme, and view mode. Stored in chrome.storage.local. Stays until you uninstall the extension or pick Settings → Reset.
• The file's content is never saved by the extension. The extension reads it fresh from Google each time you open it.

See our Local Data Policy for the full list of items stored on your device.

How Long We Keep Data

• Sign-in token: until the browser closes, or until you sign out. We do not keep it anywhere else.
• Name and profile picture: kept in the extension on your device only, alongside the sign-in token. Cleared when the token is cleared.
• Settings: kept on your device until you uninstall the extension or pick Settings → Reset.
• Your file's content: not kept by us at any point. It stays in your Google Drive, where you control it.

How We Protect Your Data

All calls between the extension and Google use HTTPS. Your sign-in token is held in chrome.storage.session, which Chrome clears when the browser closes. The extension cannot send your file's content to anyone other than Google, because there is no cloud server of ours to send it to.

Image Uploads

When you add an image to your file, the extension may need to upload that image to your Google Drive so Google can place it inside the file. The upload uses the same drive.file permission. The extension marks the upload as temporary and removes it once the file has been updated. If a run is interrupted, the leftover upload can be cleaned up later.

What We Share With Others

Nothing. The extension has no third-party services, no analytics, and no telemetry of any kind.

No AI Training

Your file's content is never used to train AI or machine-learning models. Not ours, not anyone else's. The extension does layout work only. No AI model is involved.

Google API Services User Data Policy — Limited Use

Mangaplay Studio for Google's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In plain language, this means:

• We do not use Google user data to show ads.
• We do not sell or transfer Google user data to anyone else, except where it is needed to provide the extension's features to you, where the law requires it, or as part of a merger or acquisition with proper notice to you.
• We do not let people read your Google data, except where you ask us to, where it is needed for security, where the law requires it, or where the data has been combined and made anonymous.
• We do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train general AI or machine-learning models.

How to Remove Access

You can remove the extension's access to your Google account at any time. Visit myaccount.google.com/permissions, pick Mangaplay Studio, and choose Remove access. You can also uninstall the extension from chrome://extensions.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

Any changes to this privacy policy will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top.
