Effective date: August 18, 2026

Aethon Webcomics respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you use the Aethon Webcomics mobile application and related services.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may collect:

Account information: Your email address and an internal user identifier used to create and maintain your account.
App activity and analytics: Information about interactions with the app, such as pages or features viewed, reading activity, and performance or diagnostic information. We use this information to operate and improve the service.
User content: Comments or other content you choose to submit. Content posted publicly may be visible to other users.
Device information: A device or push-notification identifier when you enable notifications. This is used to deliver notifications and maintain app functionality.

The app does not request your first or last name and does not process payments within the app.

Website Memberships and Payments

Existing members may access content associated with memberships obtained through the Aethon Webcomics website. Membership purchases and payment transactions occur outside the app.

Payment information submitted on the website is processed by the applicable payment provider. Aethon Webcomics does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers. We may retain membership and transaction records necessary to provide access, administer accounts, prevent fraud, and satisfy legal obligations.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

Create and manage user accounts
Authenticate users and provide access to content
Save preferences and reading-related activity
Deliver requested notifications
Enable comments and other community features
Monitor performance, diagnose problems, and improve the service
Protect users and enforce our terms
Comply with applicable legal obligations

Sharing of Information

We may share information with service providers that help us host, maintain, analyze, secure, and operate the service. These providers may use information only to perform services on our behalf and are expected to protect it appropriately.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the rights or safety of users or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of business assets.

We do not sell personal information or use information collected through the app to track users across apps or websites owned by other companies for advertising purposes.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Public comments may remain visible until removed by the user or through our moderation process, subject to technical and legal retention requirements.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements. You may also disable push notifications through your device settings.

To make a privacy request, contact us at support@aethonbooks.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing the request.

Residents of certain jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and certain U.S. states, may have additional privacy rights under local law.

Children’s Privacy

Aethon Webcomics is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

International Processing

Information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the app or by other appropriate means.
