Privacy Policy — Daily Bible Verse

Last updated: August 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Daily Bible Verse app ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it. We built this App to work almost entirely on your own device — there is no user account, no sign-up, and no server of ours that stores your personal data.

1. Information we do not collect

The App does not require or ask you to create an account. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal identifier directly. We have no backend server that stores your verses, favorites, prayers, or settings — everything you enter stays on your device.

2. Data stored locally on your device

The App saves the following information locally, using on-device storage (Hive). None of it is transmitted to us or to any server we control:

Your favorite verses
Prayer journal entries you write
Your selected Bible translation, app language, and app theme
Your notification time preferences
Your reading streak and quiz progress

Uninstalling the App permanently deletes this local data. We cannot recover it, because we never had a copy of it.

3. Home Screen / Lock Screen widget

If you add the App's widget to your Home Screen, your selected Bible translation and language are shared with the widget through your device's local, app-only storage (an "App Group" on iOS, local shared preferences on Android). This never leaves your device.

4. Advertising

The App shows ads (banner, interstitial, native, and app-open ads) served through Google AdMob. To do this:

On iOS, the App asks for your App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission before requesting a personalized-ads identifier. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will be less personalized.
In the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, the App shows a consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform / UMP) the first time you open it, letting you choose which kind of ads you're comfortable with, in line with GDPR requirements.
Google and its advertising partners may use device identifiers (such as the IDFA on iOS or the Advertising ID on Android) and other technical data to select and measure ads. We do not receive or store this data ourselves — it is processed by Google under Google's own privacy policy.

You can review or change your ad-personalization choices at any time from your device's system settings, and you can see Google's own practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads and policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Premium subscriptions and in-app purchases

Premium plans (weekly, yearly, or lifetime) are sold and processed entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play — never by us directly. We never see or store your payment card details. The App only receives a confirmation from Apple/Google that a purchase was completed, so it can unlock Premium features on your device.

6. Notifications

Your daily verse reminder is scheduled entirely on your own device using the operating system's local notification system — no data about your reminder time or the verse content is sent anywhere.

The App also includes the OneSignal push-notification SDK for possible future optional re-engagement messages. As of this version it is not configured or active, and sends no data anywhere. If we enable it in a future update (for example, to occasionally remind inactive users to come back), this policy will be updated first.

7. On-screen fonts

The App uses Google Fonts for some of its typography. The first time a given font style is needed, your device may briefly contact Google's font servers to download it (after which it's cached on your device). This request can expose your IP address to Google in the same way loading any web resource does. See Google's Google Fonts privacy FAQ for details.

8. Location data

The App does not request, use, or collect your location for any feature. (On iOS, a location permission string is present in the App only because a bundled third-party SDK component references the capability — it is never invoked.)

9. Children's privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the App collects no personal information from anyone, this applies equally to all users.

10. Your choices

You can disable notifications at any time from Settings within the App or from your device's system settings.
You can reset your ad-personalization consent from the App's Settings screen (where offered) or from your device's privacy settings.
Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data described above.

11. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you inside the App.
