Privacy policy
Short version: Merge Scroll collects no data. It makes no network connections. Your files never leave your iPhone.
Data we collect
None. Merge Scroll has no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking. We (the developer) never receive anything about you or what you read.
Network use
The app does not connect to the internet. It has no server and sends nothing anywhere.
Your files
When you import comics or PDFs (from Files, a folder or the share sheet), Merge Scroll copies them into its own storage on your iPhone. Your reading progress, history, covers and saved panels are stored there too. A small summary (the series you're reading, your progress and a cover thumbnail) is shared only with Merge Scroll's own widgets and share extension, on the same iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. Deleting a series, or the app, deletes its files.
Your iPhone's own backups (iCloud or a computer) may include the app's data, as for any app. That is handled by Apple and your settings, not by Merge Scroll.
Face ID
If you lock a series, Merge Scroll asks iOS to confirm it's you with Face ID (or your passcode) before opening it. The check happens entirely in iOS: the app only learns whether it succeeded. It never sees or stores your face data or passcode. Locked series are hidden from widgets, search and history, and their files get the iPhone's strongest file protection.
Photos
Merge Scroll asks for add-only access to your photo library, and only when you tap Save to Photos on a saved panel. It can add that picture; it can't see your other photos. If you pick a photo as a series cover, you choose it in the system photo picker and only that photo is given to the app; it is kept on your iPhone as the cover.
Children
The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
