Privacy Policy
The short version
Sacred Scrolls is a Bible reading app. We collect the minimum needed to run the app and keep your subscription working. We do not sell or share your data, we do not show ads, we do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
What we collect
- Account email. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email (or a private relay address). We use it to identify your account and respond to support requests.
- Subscription state. Apple tells us whether your subscription is active so we can unlock features on your devices. Apple processes payment — we never see your card.
- AI chat messages. If you use the AI Bible study chat, your messages are sent to OpenAI's API for processing and stored on our servers so you can revisit conversations across devices. You can delete any thread or your entire account at any time.
- Push tokens. If you opt into notifications (daily verse, reading reminders), we store the device push token Apple gives us. Disabling notifications in iOS Settings revokes this.
- Diagnostic logs. Server-side request logs (timestamp, endpoint, response code, anonymized IP) for keeping the service up. Logs rotate after 30 days.
What we don't collect
- No advertising identifiers (IDFA).
- No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Firebase, no Mixpanel).
- No third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.
- No precise location.
- No contacts, photos, or other device data.
- No payment information — Apple handles all billing.
Who we share data with
- Apple. Sign in with Apple, App Store subscriptions, and push notifications.
- Google. Sign in with Google, if you choose this option.
- OpenAI. AI chat messages are processed by OpenAI's API. Per OpenAI's API terms, your messages are not used to train their models.
- Cloudflare. Network protection and DNS for our website and API.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it for advertising.
Storage and retention
The Bible text and a local audio cache (up to 200 MB, auto-cleared after 30 days) are stored on your device for offline reading. Account data and chat history persist on our servers until you delete your account.
Your rights
- Delete any AI chat thread from inside the app.
- Delete your entire account and all associated data from Settings → Account → Delete Account.
- Disable push notifications from iOS Settings at any time.
- Request a copy of your data by emailing [email protected].
Children
Sacred Scrolls is rated 4+ and suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy in any material way, we'll update the date above and notify users in-app.
