Privacy Policy
Most Mansone calculations happen in your browser. The Can I Run It tool sends the specs and published requirements needed to return a compatibility result; the extension stores your saved setup locally.
Local by default
Sensitivity, DPI, and FOV calculations happen in your browser. A recent setting may stay on your device so you can return to it without creating an account.

What Data We Collect
Analytics Data (Optional)
We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how our tools are used and improve the user experience. This includes:
- Page views and tool usage statistics
- Device type and browser information
- General geographic location (country/region)
- Referring websites and search terms
You can opt out of analytics tracking by using browser extensions or disabling cookies.
Can I Run It Analysis
When you check a game, Mansone receives the hardware values you provide or that your browser detects, together with the game requirements needed for the calculation. These values are used to return the result and are not stored in product analytics or attached to an account. Extension-to-website handoffs use a short-lived, single-use token.
Alert Emails (Optional)
If you sign up for alerts (for example, when a Fortnite item is back in the shop, news for a game, or new tools on Mansone from the sign-up at the bottom of every page), we store your email address, what you asked to be alerted about, and when you confirmed and when we last emailed you. We use this only to send those alerts, at most once a day, through Resend. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can remove individual alerts from the manage page. You must be 13 or older to sign up.
Discord Feeds (Optional)
If you connect a Discord channel, we store its webhook URL and the feeds you picked, and use them only to post the daily shop and game news to that channel. Remove the feed on the Discord feed page or delete the webhook in Discord at any time.

Data Security
Local Processing
Calculators, converters, and hardware tests such as the DPI, sensitivity, and FOV tools run fully in your browser, so the values you enter stay on your device. A few features need our server. Can I Run It sends your hardware specs and the game's system requirements to Mansone's server and an AI provider (OpenRouter) for analysis. The bottleneck calculator's AI analysis sends your selected GPU, CPU, and resolution the same way, and the optional AI assist in the bottleneck and FOV calculators sends the text or screenshot you add.
Secure Transmission
Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect any data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
No Data Storage
We do not store results from the browser-based tools on our servers. Hardware specs sent for Can I Run It and AI analysis are processed in real time and not stored by us after the response.

AI-Powered Features
Can I Run It? Game Compatibility Checker
When you use the Can I Run It tool (on mansone.com or through the Mansone Chrome extension), your detected hardware specs (GPU model, RAM amount, CPU core count) and the game's system requirements are sent to our server. Our server forwards this data to a third-party AI model for comparison.
Specs and game requirements are sent only when you run a check
The AI model processes the comparison and returns a verdict
No hardware data is stored on our server after the response
Game data is sourced from Steam's public API
AI processing is handled via OpenRouter (openrouter.ai)
Chrome Extension
The Mansone Chrome extension stores your detected hardware specs locally on your device. It also adds a compatibility panel on Steam store pages. The extension only communicates with mansone.com when you request a game compatibility check.
Hardware specs are saved locally on your device only
No data is collected in the background
The extension runs on store.steampowered.com pages only
No analytics or tracking in the extension
Bottleneck Calculator AI Analysis
The bottleneck calculator sends your selected GPU, CPU, and resolution to our server for AI analysis. The same rules apply: data is processed in real time and not stored after the response.
