Privacy Policy
Mans.io Manuals
Last updated: November 13, 2026
This policy covers the Mans.io Manuals browser extension for Chrome, Chromium and Firefox, developed by InetTools. It applies to the browser extension, separately from the mobile apps and from the Mans.io website itself.
Purpose and account information
The extension provides quick access to saved devices and bookmarked manual pages from your existing account on Mans.io. It receives your account ID, name or email, saved device and model information, document names, bookmarked page numbers, links and images. This information is used to display your account and lists and open the device or manual page you choose.
Authentication and network requests
Sign-in takes place on Mans.io. HTTPS requests to that website use the browser’s existing session cookies. The extension does not ask for your password, read cookie values through the browser cookies API or copy cookies into its own storage. It requests the account and selected list when you open the popup, switch sections, change pages or refresh. It does not continuously synchronize account contents in the background.
Local processing and storage
Search text is used only to filter the currently displayed page locally; it is not sent to a search service. Account and list data is held in popup memory, cleared when the popup closes and replaced when a different account is detected. The selected color theme is saved in the extension’s local browser storage. Images use the browser’s normal network and cache handling. Saved devices, bookmarks and the account itself remain on the website.
Permissions and your consent
Access is limited to the corresponding website and is needed to load your signed-in account and saved lists. The Firefox build uses the browser’s installation-time consent for authentication information, personally identifying information and website content. If you do not accept the required permissions, you can cancel installation. Website authentication and sign-out remain controlled by Mans.io.
Website requests and infrastructure
Like ordinary HTTPS connections, requests to Mans.io reveal connection information to that website and its hosting or security providers, such as IP address, user agent, request time and requested endpoint. The website’s own privacy and session policies apply to this processing. Opening a device, manual or sign-in link navigates to the website, where its policies apply.
Analytics, advertising and sharing
The extension does not include analytics or advertising SDKs, does not read unrelated browsing history, and does not access your location or payment information. It does not sell user data or send account contents to analytics providers, advertisers or unrelated services. InetTools does not receive account contents from the extension simply because this privacy page is hosted here. Visiting this page is governed separately by the InetTools website privacy policy.
Limited Use
Information received by the extension is used only for its disclosed account-and-manuals functionality. It is not used for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness or lending. Its use of user information adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Managing and deleting data
Manage or delete saved devices, bookmarks and account information on Mans.io. Sign out of the website to end that browser session; reopening or refreshing the extension reflects the current sign-in status. You can remove the extension and its local settings through browser controls. Removing the extension does not delete your website account or saved website content. Account retention and deletion requests are handled by the website under its own policies.
Changes and contact
We update this notice when the extension’s data handling changes. For privacy questions about the extension, contact InetTools at support@inettools.net. For questions or requests concerning the website account, use the contact options on Mans.io. Do not include passwords or sign-in codes in support requests.
