Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 23, 2026

Welcome to Manifest & Lua Generator ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services at manifestlua.blog (the "Service"). If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected].

1. Information We Collect

  • Input Data: Steam AppIDs you enter to generate manifest and lua files.
  • Usage & Device Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time on page, referral sources.
  • Generated Content: Manifest files and lua scripts generated through our service.
  • Support Communications: Messages you send to our support email.

2. How We Use Information

  • Provide and improve the Manifest & Lua Generator Service, including generation quality and accuracy.
  • Process your AppID requests and generate manifest files and lua scripts based on your input.
  • Maintain security, analytics, and Service performance.
  • Communicate important updates and support responses.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Data Storage and Retention

Your AppID inputs and generated manifest/lua files are processed entirely in your browser (client-side). We do not store, log, or track your searches or downloads on our servers. All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy.

4. Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

  • Legitimate interests (providing manifest generation service, security, analytics).
  • Consent (where required, e.g., certain cookies/marketing).
  • Legal obligations (e.g., fraud prevention, compliance).

5. Sharing & Disclosure

  • Service Providers: Cloud hosting, analytics—only as needed to operate the Service.
  • Legal Requirements: Lawful requests, enforcement of rights, prevention of harm or fraud.
  • Business Transfers: In a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may be transferred with notice.
  • No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell or share your AppID inputs or generated files with third parties.
  • GitHub Integration: Manifest files are downloaded directly from the public ManifestHub GitHub repository. We do not intercept or store this data.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above. AppID inputs and generated manifest/lua files are not stored on our servers. Usage logs may be retained for security and compliance purposes for up to 90 days.

7. Cookies and Tracking

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our service (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Local Storage: Your browser may store AppID history locally for your convenience. This data never leaves your device.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict processing.
  • Data portability.
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent).
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Since all processing happens client-side in your browser, your data is inherently more secure as it never reaches our servers.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to individuals under 13 (or applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such data, contact us immediately.

11. International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
