An account is optional. Without one, everything you create — journal entries, voice notes, photos, highlights, bookmarks, reading progress, streaks, and settings — is stored only on your device and is never sent to us. You can also export a local backup file through the share sheet, which stays entirely under your control.
If you create an account to sync across devices, we collect and store the following on our servers:
We collect this information solely to provide the sync service: to authenticate you and to store and deliver your content to your devices. We do not use it for advertising, we do not profile you, and we never sell or share it with third parties for their own purposes.
Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. Account passwords are stored only in hashed form. Your account data and synced content are hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure, which acts as our service provider for storage and delivery. Access is limited to operating and supporting the app.
You can delete your account at any time from within the app. Deleting your account removes your synced content and account details from our servers. Content stored locally on your device is removed by deleting it in the app or uninstalling the app. If you need help, email [email protected].
To work, the app downloads read-only Bible content — Scripture text, commentaries, the
dictionary, and the offline search model — from our content server at
bible.tullos.org. These are ordinary download requests for reference content
and do not include the personal content you create. As with any internet request, our
server briefly sees standard technical data such as your device's IP address; we do not use
this to build a profile of you.
The "Meaning" (semantic) search feature processes your search text on your device using a locally downloaded model. Your search queries are not sent to us or to any third party.
The app may ask for the following permissions. Each is used only for the stated feature:
Content captured through these permissions stays on your device unless you use an account, in which case it syncs as described above.
Some study materials link to videos on YouTube. If you choose to play a YouTube video or follow an external link, that content is delivered by the third party (for example, Google), and their privacy policy governs your interaction with it. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the data practices of those services.
The app is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and an account is never required to use the app. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will revise the effective date above and post the updated version at this address.
