Privacy Policy

BibleStudy ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Bible study application. By using BibleStudy, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and the name you provide. This information is used solely to authenticate you and personalize your experience.

User-Generated Content

We store content you create within the app, including Bible notes, highlights, bookmarks, and community posts. This data is associated with your account so you can access it across devices.

Usage Data

We may collect anonymous usage data such as which Bible books or chapters are viewed, which translations are used, and general feature engagement. This helps us improve the application. This data is not tied to your identity.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain your BibleStudy account and its features
• To save and sync your personal notes, highlights, and bookmarks
• To display community posts and group reading plans you participate in
• To process donations made through the app (via our payment provider)
• To improve the app based on anonymous usage patterns
• To send important service-related notifications (never marketing spam)

3. Community Posts & Public Content

If you choose to share a note or reflection as a public community post, that content (including your display name) will be visible to other users of the app. You can control whether your posts are public or private at the time of sharing. You may delete your posts at any time from the Notes page.

4. Donations & Payment Information

Donations are processed by a third-party payment provider. We do not store your credit card number, bank details, or any other payment credentials on our servers. All payment data is handled securely by our payment processor in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data only in these circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party services that help us operate the app (hosting, authentication, payment processing)
• Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users
• AI Features: When you use AI-powered features (like topic search or historical context), your query text is sent to an AI provider to generate a response. No personally identifiable information is included.

6. Data Retention

Your account data (notes, highlights, bookmarks, reading plans) is retained as long as your account is active. You may delete individual items at any time within the app. To request full account deletion, contact us at the email below and we will remove your data within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

BibleStudy is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Your password is never stored in plain text. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy within the app. Your continued use of BibleStudy after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
