1. Overview & Scope
Your privacy is of foundational importance to us. This Privacy Policy details how BlueLockWorld ("we," "our," or "the website") collects, processes, and safeguards information when you access or use our reader service at https://www.bluelockworld.com.
BlueLockWorld operates as an independent non-commercial fan portal. We do not require account creation, user logins, or credit card billing. We minimize personal data collection to what is strictly necessary to deliver high-performance scan viewing, remember user reading settings, and maintain platform stability.
2. Information We Collect
When you browse our pages, we may automatically collect limited technical telemetry to maintain network security and optimize page delivery:
- Device & Telemetry Data: IP address (anonymized in compliance with GDPR standards), browser client type, operating system version, referral URLs, and timestamp records.
- Communication Records: When you voluntarily submit a query via our Contact Form, we collect your provided name, email address, message body, and referenced chapter URL.
- Performance Metrics: Core Web Vitals measurements (Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, First Input Delay) recorded without personal identifiers to monitor reader speed.
3. HTML5 Local Storage Usage
To offer instantaneous chapter resume capabilities without forcing account registration, we utilize your web browser's HTML5 LocalStorage. This data remains strictly inside your personal device and is never uploaded to remote servers:
- Reading Progress: Stores your last opened chapter ID and scroll offset so you can seamlessly resume reading.
- Reading History: Keeps an array of completed chapter numbers to highlight read markers.
- Reader Preferences: Remembers your preferred mode (vertical webtoon scroll versus single-page navigation) and container width.
- Bookmarks & Ratings: Records series bookmark status and star ratings locally.
- Cookie Consent State: Remembers whether you have accepted or customized cookie categories.
You may clear this data at any moment by clearing your browser cache or site data for https://www.bluelockworld.com.

- Right to rectification of inaccurate contact submissions.
- Right to erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") of communications.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Our website is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age (or under sixteen in the European Union). We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal identifiable information from children. If a parent or guardian discovers that a minor has submitted personal data through our contact form without consent, please contact us immediately at contact@www.bluelockworld.com, and we will promptly delete such records from our mail server.
7. Data Retention & Information Security
We enforce HTTPS encryption across all platform endpoints. Any message submitted via our contact portal is retained on secure mail servers only as long as necessary to answer your inquiry or fulfill legal obligations (typically not exceeding ninety days). Routine server access logs are rotated and deleted automatically.
