01 · Who we are and what this covers
Who we are and what this covers
ComicFluent is based in India. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you use the ComicFluent website, mobile app, and related account, translation, reading, and support services (together, the “Service”). It also covers test versions of the app. A website you visit or comic source you open through our browser has its own privacy practices.
02 · Information we collect
Information we collect
Depending on the features you use, we may process:
- Account information: your email address, account identifier, sign-in method, and information supplied by Google when you choose Google sign-in.
- Chapters and translation inputs: source links, images or archives you select, page order, language choices, extracted text, translations, corrections, and reading preferences.
- Purchases and access: product and transaction identifiers, coin balance and usage, subscription or Pro status, and purchase events. Your app store handles payment-card details; ComicFluent does not need your full card number.
- Support information: what you send us when requesting help or reporting a problem.
- Technical information: IP address, browser or device information, app version, error and security events, and the basic usage records needed to operate the Service.
03 · Where information comes from
Where information comes from
We receive information from you and your device, from a sign-in provider when you use it, and from the app store and purchase infrastructure when you make a purchase. We also receive the chapter material and source addresses you choose to process. The external sites you visit can receive normal browser requests and may collect information under their own policies.
04 · How we use information
How we use information
We use this information to sign you in, create and protect your account, import and organize chapters, provide AI-assisted translation and editing, keep reading progress, administer coins and Pro access, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, troubleshoot faults, and meet legal obligations. We may send account, billing, security, or service messages. If we offer optional marketing messages or notifications, you can opt out. We may use aggregated or de-identified operational information to understand and improve the Service, where permitted.
05 · Images, OCR, and AI processing
Images, OCR, and AI processing
When you request translation, the selected page image and its text are sent over the internet to ComicFluent's processing systems and service providers for text detection, image cleanup, translation, and lettering. Processing is limited to the request: after a page is processed, we do not keep its image, extracted text, translation, or page context on our backend. ComicFluent does not use your data to train or fine-tune any AI model. Do not submit confidential or sensitive material you do not want processed for translation. AI output can be inaccurate; review it before relying on it.
06 · Local chapters and service records
Local chapters and service records
Saved chapter pages, translations, and edits are stored on your device, not in a ComicFluent cloud library. We cannot recover them from our backend if you clear the app's data, uninstall it, or lose or reset the device; those actions may permanently erase your saved chapters. Account, purchase, entitlement, coin balance, job status, and other non-content operational records may remain on our backend. Temporary processing data is discarded when the page request finishes, so we do not retain a server copy or content history of that page. Public comic samples displayed on our website are separate from chapters you bring into the app.
08 · Device permissions
Device permissions
The app may ask for access to photos or files when you choose images or an archive, and may use network access to browse sources, sign in, or translate. If a version offers notifications, you can control that permission in your device settings. You can revoke device permissions at any time, although some features will not work without the access they require.
10 · Legal grounds where required
Legal grounds where required
Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we process information to provide the Service you request, to meet legal obligations, for legitimate interests such as security and reliable operation, or with your consent where required. You may withdraw consent for processing based on consent, although this does not undo earlier lawful processing.
11 · Processing across borders
Processing across borders
ComicFluent is based in India, but providers and infrastructure may process information in other countries. When a law requires safeguards for a transfer, we use the applicable contractual or other permitted mechanism.
12 · How long we keep information
How long we keep information
We do not retain page content after its translation request finishes. Other information, such as account, purchase, usage, and security records, is kept only as long as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, meet legal requirements, or protect against abuse. When no longer needed, it is deleted or de-identified. Different records have different retention needs; residual copies of retained records in routine backups are normally rotated within 90 days. Removing a chapter from your device does not itself erase separate account or billing records.
13 · Security
Security
We use access controls and other technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the Service. No internet service or device is completely secure. Protect your sign-in credentials and contact us if you believe your account has been misused.
14 · Your choices and privacy rights
Your choices and privacy rights
You can review or change some account information and reading settings in the app. You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to processing, or portability where the law that applies to you provides those rights through [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may need to be retained for purchases, security, or legal reasons. You can also manage app permissions and subscriptions through your device or store settings. Where applicable, you may complain to the relevant data-protection authority.
15 · Account deletion
Account deletion
Use the account-deletion control in the app to request closure, or consult our account and data deletion page if you need help. We verify requests to prevent unauthorized deletion and aim to complete verified requests within 30 days, or sooner where law requires. We remove active account information, subject to limited retention for financial obligations, security, disputes, or law; page content is already discarded after processing. Residual backups of retained records are normally rotated within 90 days. The app also removes its local account library as part of account deletion. We will confirm when a request is completed. Deleting an account does not cancel an app-store subscription or automatically refund a purchase; manage those with the store separately.
16 · Children
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child under 16 has provided information to ComicFluent, contact [email protected] so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
17 · App-store privacy disclosures
App-store privacy disclosures
Google Play and the Apple App Store may show short-form data-safety or app-privacy labels for available app versions. Those labels follow each store's format. Read them alongside this fuller policy and the relevant store's own privacy notice.
18 · Third-party links and content
Third-party links and content
Links, source websites, sign-in providers, app stores, and payment services have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their independent handling of information. Review their notices before using those services.
19 · Changes and contact
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the Service changes. The date above identifies the current version; material changes may also be announced in the app or through another appropriate channel. For privacy questions or requests, visit [email protected].
