Privacy Policy

Seriously Scans — operated by Seriously Brands LLC. Last updated 14 August 2026.

Seriously Scans is reached at seriouslyscans.com (older links via comicscan.seriously-it.com continue to work), and older parts of the application may still say Comic Scanner or CoverCall. All of these names refer to the same service, operated by the same company, under this policy.

What Seriously Scans does

Seriously Scans helps a seller turn photographs of comic books into draft eBay listings. It identifies each book, suggests a price from public eBay sales data, and prepares a listing the seller can edit. Publishing a listing for sale is always an action the seller takes deliberately — one item at a time, on a listing they have reviewed, with the condition set by hand. Seriously Scans never publishes automatically, never publishes in bulk, and never grades a book on the seller's behalf.

What we store

• Account identity. Your Google account's email address, display name and Google account identifier, so we can sign you in and attribute your work.
• Your photographs — in your own Google Drive. Photos you take or import are uploaded to your Google Drive, not to our servers. We request the narrowest Google Drive permission available (drive.file), which lets the app see only the folders and files it creates or that you explicitly choose. We cannot see the rest of your Drive. We read your images to identify the books in them, and we do not keep copies of them after processing. One narrow exception: corner close-ups cut from a book's front and back shots are kept on our server so you can choose to include them in a listing. They are derived images, clearly marked as such, never used for identification, never written back to your Drive, and kept until you delete your account — see the account-deletion right below.
• Listing data we generate. Book identifications, titles, descriptions, prices and your edits to them.
• Connection credentials, encrypted. If you connect Google Drive or eBay, we store the resulting access credentials encrypted at rest. They are used only to act on your behalf within the app, and you can disconnect either service at any time, which deletes the stored credential.
• Operational records. Timestamps, error and request logs, and counts of API calls, kept to run and troubleshoot the service.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent your personal information.
• We do not use your photographs to train machine-learning models.
• We do not list, revise or sell anything on eBay except the specific listing you reviewed and published yourself.
• We do not access Google Drive files outside those you created with the app or explicitly selected.

How we handle pricing data

Seriously Scans never sets a price. We show you what comparable copies are listed at; you decide what your book is worth and type the number yourself.

• Sold history — we do no math on it. When you want to know what copies actually sold for, we hand you a link to eBay's own sold-listings search and you read it on eBay's site. We do not fetch, parse, average, aggregate or store sold prices, and we derive no number of any kind from them. This does not change if eBay ever grants us access to their sold-price API — computing on sold data would require a deliberate decision by us, not a permission from them.
• Active listings — we compute, narrowly. For the single comic issue you are listing, we ask eBay's Browse API what comparable copies are currently listed at, and show you a median, a range and how many we found. These are asking prices, not sales, and we label them that way on screen.
• Only for your listing. That comparison is shown to the seller who asked for it, for the book they are listing. It is never aggregated across a category, never combined across sellers, and never republished, exported or sold.
• Not kept as a dataset. A comparison is cached briefly per comic issue so we do not re-query eBay for the same book, and then discarded — it is not retained as a dataset.

Who we share data with

Only the service providers needed to do the job you asked for: Google (Drive storage and sign-in), eBay (draft creation and public sold-listing data), Anthropic (cover identification from your images), comic reference databases used for identification, and Stripe (subscription payments — Stripe handles card details directly; we never receive or store card numbers).

eBay account deletion and closure

We participate in eBay's marketplace account deletion/closure notification programme. When eBay notifies us that a user's eBay account has been closed or deleted, we delete the eBay-derived data we hold for that account — the stored eBay credentials and the identifier linking that eBay account to our service. Our notification endpoint is https://seriouslyscans.com/api/ebay/account-deletion.

Retention

Generated drafts remain available for editing for a retention window (30 days by default, configurable per organisation), after which they are archived. Your photographs live in your own Google Drive and are under your control — deleting them there deletes them. You may request deletion of your Seriously Scans account and its data at any time using the contact address below.

Your choices

• Disconnect Google Drive or eBay from within the app at any time.
• Revoke the app's Google access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• Revoke the app's eBay access at accounts.ebay.com/acctsec/security-center.
• Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data by emailing us.

Security

All traffic is served over HTTPS. Stored third-party credentials are encrypted at rest. Access to production systems is restricted to the operator of the service.

Children

Seriously Scans is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will update the date above and, where the change affects how we handle your data, notify signed-in users in the app.
