1 — Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Tushar Chaudhary ("we", "us"), based in India, handles information in the ComicFusion app — a browser for third-party reading sites, a reader community, a set of optional AI tools, and a social feed — and on this website.
In short: we collect your account details, the community content you post, reading data you choose to sync, and the content you submit to the AI tools. The app carries no advertising or analytics trackers and asks for only one device permission — Internet. This website counts page views with a cookieless analytics script. We don't sell your data.
2 — Information we collect
Account and identity. When you sign up (by email, Google, or Apple), our authentication provider gives us your email address, username, display name, and profile picture. We keep a basic profile — an account ID, handle, name, and avatar — to run your account and social features.
Community content. Reactions, comments, GIFs you pick, votes, follows, series-room posts, and any reports you file are stored and linked to your account so the community features work.
Reading data. Your in-app browsing history, saved Library, any custom sources you add, and a computed "taste" profile stay on your device. If you're signed in, only a compact reading summary leaves it — the series you're reading, your saved library, taste tags, and a log of chapters you advance through (including the link to the third-party page) — synced to our servers to power your profile, "Continue Reading", and the Reading Diary that your followers can see. General browsing is never synced: home pages, search results, and listing pages are ignored, and only a page identified as an actual chapter is recorded.
AI tool submissions. When you use a tool, we send the specific content you chose to our processing backend — page images for translation, colorisation, or art restoration, or chapter text for audio narration — together with your sign-in token and a device ID. Generated results are stored on cloud storage so you can open them again.
A device identifier. We generate a random ID for your install to link tool jobs and credits to your device. This is not your advertising ID and is not derived from your hardware.
Support messages. If you email us or use the contact form on this website, we receive your address and whatever you send.
3 — What we do NOT collect
In the app: no ad or analytics trackers. No advertising ID. No precise location, contacts, camera, microphone, or messages. No crash-tracking SDKs. The app requests only the Internet permission.
We do not build an advertising profile of you, and we do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
4 — How we use your information
- to provide the app, your account, and the community and feed features;
- to run the AI tools and manage your tool credits;
- to keep the service secure and prevent abuse;
- to respond to your support requests;
- to comply with legal obligations and to improve the app.
6 — Third-party websites
The in-app browser loads websites that you choose. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we don't control. To make features like covers and reactions work, we sometimes fetch a page's images or public metadata through our own server — but we don't use your browsing to advertise to you.
7 — This website
This marketing website sets no cookies and shows no advertising. Fonts and images are served from our own domain. We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views; it is cookieless and does not build a profile of you or follow you to other sites, but it does load a script from Vercel and receives your IP address, which it uses only to derive a coarse location and then discards. Our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting.
The home page shows how many rooms are open and what people are reading right now. Those figures are fetched from the app's own public API when the page loads; the request carries no account information, and the numbers are the same for every visitor.
The contact form sends what you type to our own servers when you press send — your email address, the topic you chose, your name if you give one, and your message. We store it in a private support inbox and use it only to reply. If that request cannot be made — you are offline, or the service is unavailable — the page falls back to opening the message in your own email app instead, and nothing is transmitted until you send it yourself.
8 — Advertising (coming later)
We may later show ads within the social feed only — never inside the in-app browser. If we do, we will update this policy to name the ad partner and explain what it collects, and a premium plan may remove ads.
9 — How long we keep it
We keep your account and community data while your account is active. Data stored on your device stays there until you clear it or uninstall the app. AI results kept on cloud storage are retained for a limited period. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
10 — Your choices and rights
You can view and update your profile in the app and through your account settings. You can sign out to stop syncing reading data, and remove on-device data by uninstalling the app. Depending on where you live — including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act — you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to raise a grievance.
To exercise any of these, email us at info@thecomicfusion.com and we'll help.
11 — Security
We protect your data with encryption in transit and access controls on our systems. No app or online service can be completely secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
12 — Children
ComicFusion is for people aged 13 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us their information, contact us and we'll delete it.
13 — Where your data is processed
Our providers may store and process data in countries other than yours, including outside India. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards for the transfer.
14 — Device backup
Because your device's automatic backup may be enabled, the app's on-device data may be backed up to your own Google or Apple account. That backup is controlled by your device and account settings, not by us.
15 — Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll revise the "last updated" date above and, for significant changes, highlight them in the app.
