ManhwaTracker is a tracking and cataloging service. We do not reproduce, distribute, or publicly display copyrighted works. Our platform provides metadata such as titles, descriptions, and cover art for informational purposes, similar to a library catalog.

- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
