This Privacy Policy describes how Pickard Softworks ("we", "us", or "our") handles your data when you use the Obsidian Ebook Reader application ("the Application").

1. Data Collection and Usage
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The Application is designed to operate offline and locally on your device.

No Analytics: We do not track how you use the Application.
No Account Required: You can use the full functionality of the Application without creating an account.
No Telemetry: We do not collect crash reports or usage statistics sent to external servers.
2. Local Data Storage
All data generated or used by the Application is stored locally on your device:

Library Data: Your list of books, reading progress, bookmarks, and preferences are stored in a local configuration file on your computer (typically in your user AppData folder).
File Access: The Application only accesses files that you explicitly open or folders that you explicitly add to the "Sync Folders" feature. It reads these files solely for the purpose of displaying their content to you.
3. Internet Connectivity
The Application does not require an internet connection to function. It does not connect to third-party servers to fetch or send data.
