Privacy Policy
How Comics Tracker handles your information. Last updated November 8, 2026.
Sign in with Google
When you choose Sign in with Google, Comics Tracker requests OpenID Connect access to your account identifier and verified email address. We store the identifier and email with your account on our server to create and recognize your account, sign you in, and verify your identity before password changes or account deletion. If you set an optional password, you can also sign in with that email and password. We use Google data for account access and verification and do not sell it or use it for advertising. The app does not request access to Gmail, Drive, contacts, or other Google account content.
Account and reading activity
We store your chosen username, account role, preferences, reading list, chapter progress, ratings, archive settings and personal reading links to provide those features across devices. If you set a password, we store a password hash. Reading activity and ratings also contribute to aggregate catalog statistics.
Cookies, storage and security
We use session and request-protection cookies for web sign-in. Google verification uses short-lived cookies and temporary records on our server. Your device stores preferences, cached covers, and a local copy of your reading list and pending edits. Confirmed sign-out clears the session and local list data. We use short-lived abuse counters based on hashed identifiers, such as IP addresses, to protect sign-in and other requests.
Reports, hosting and external sites
When you submit a report, we store what you send and context such as the screen, app version and sanitized page address. Authorized managers can review reports to investigate issues. Our hosting provider Contabo supplies the server infrastructure on which account data is stored. We send sign-in and verification requests to Google when you use those features. Covers can load from external image hosts, and reading and search links take you to other sites that handle information under their own policies.
Retention and account deletion
Account information is kept while your account is active. In Account, select Delete account and verify the same Google account to disable sign-in and end access through existing sessions. This action marks the account as deleted. The stored account record, including its Google identifier, email and reading data, remains in our database and has no automatic purge period. Copies in backups taken for recovery may remain until the applicable backups are rotated.
Contact and policy changes
Email comictrack.admin@gmail.com to ask about your data or request access, correction or permanent removal, including if you can no longer sign in. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will update this policy and notify affected users before using Google user data for a new purpose, and ask for consent where required.
