Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

OpenSesame Reads ("we", "our", or "us") operates the OpenSesame Reads mobile application for Android. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a secure experience when using our app.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our application.

1. Information Collection and Use

OpenSesame Reads is designed to be a local utility comic reader.

  • Local Comic Files: The app opens, parses, and displays comic book archives (CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR) directly from your device's storage. We do not upload, transfer, copy, or store your comic files or reading progress to any external servers. All processing and storage of reading progress occur strictly on your local device.
  • Device Permissions: To import and read your files, the app requests storage access permissions (such as via the Android Storage Access Framework). These permissions are used exclusively to locate, read, and cache the comic books you choose to open in the app.

2. Third-Party Services

To support development, improve stability, and provide ads, our app utilizes third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

These third-party providers include:

  • Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Used to display ads within the app. AdMob may collect and use device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
  • Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics: Used to monitor app stability, analyze usage behavior, and log crash reports. This data is fully anonymized and helps us identify and fix bugs to improve the reader's performance.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party service providers:

3. Security of Your Data

We take the security of your data seriously. Because all your comic books, files, and library layouts are stored locally on your device, their security depends on your device's overall safety. We recommend keeping your operating system updated and using security locks.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take necessary actions.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
