Offline Comic Reader (package com.digitalshijil.comicreader) is published by Digital Shijil LLC ("we", "us"). This page explains what the app does with information. The short version: we do not collect your personal information, we do not run a server for this app, and we do not show ads.
The app only reads comics you point it at. It keeps this on your device and nowhere else:
We never receive any of this. Android may copy the library and settings to your own Google account as part of the normal phone backup if you have that turned on. That is controlled by you and Google, not by us. Covers and unpacked comics are never part of that backup.
Comic Reader asks for no storage permission. You choose a file or a folder with Android's own picker, and the app can read only what you chose. It does not copy, upload or change your files. You can remove a folder from the library at any time; that only forgets it, the files stay where they are.
The app has no sign-in. It contains no advertising software, no analytics software and no crash-reporting software from us or from third parties.
Pro features are bought through Google Play Billing. Google handles your payment details and purchase history under Google's Privacy Policy; we never see your card or account details. The app asks Google Play whether a Pro purchase is active on your account. Google Play Billing also sends diagnostic information (for example, error and performance information about the purchase flow) to Google. In the Google Play Data safety form we therefore declare: App info and performance, Diagnostics: collected, not shared, required. The app itself makes no other network requests.
Export reading list (Settings) saves your titles, page counts, progress and last-read dates as a CSV file in a place you choose. The app does not upload it.
Back up library (Pro) writes your library, progress and settings to one file in a place you choose. If you add a password the file is encrypted on your phone with AES-256-GCM, with the key derived from your password (PBKDF2-SHA256). We cannot recover a forgotten password. Restore replaces the library on the phone with the one in the file.
Delete all data (Settings) erases the library, progress, settings and caches, releases the folders you granted and restarts the app. Uninstalling the app also removes everything. A Pro purchase belongs to your Google account and is not affected; you can manage or cancel a subscription in Google Play.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Files and folders you pick | Granted by you through Android's picker, one file or folder at a time. No broad storage permission is requested. |
| Billing and network state | Declared by Google's Play Billing and In-App Review libraries to show prices, complete a purchase and show the review prompt. |
The app does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or notifications.
Offline Comic Reader is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone. It displays only the files you give it and ships no content of its own.
If the app's behaviour changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and the date above before the change ships.
