Privacy Policy
Bible Offline + Prayers (“the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is published by Yield Digital Creative. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our iOS application.
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information stored on your device
The App stores the following data locally on your iPhone or iPad:
- Bible reading data — downloaded translations, reading position, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and reading-plan progress
- App preferences — theme, font size, notification settings, text-to-speech speed, and similar settings
- Anonymous device identifier — a randomly generated ID used to sync certain online features without creating an account
This on-device data is not transmitted unless you use a feature that requires an internet connection (see below).
1.2 Information you provide
When you choose to use certain features, you may provide:
- Prayer requests — your name and the text of your prayer request, submitted to our servers so the request can be received and answered
- Display name — if shown on leaderboards or similar community features (where applicable)
We do not require you to create an account or provide an email address to use the App.
1.3 Information collected automatically
When you use online features, we and our service providers may collect:
- Device and app identifiers — an anonymous app-specific ID, push notification token, and general device information (e.g., device model, OS version, app version)
- Country/region — derived from your device locale (e.g., for content delivery and notifications)
- Usage and analytics data — screens viewed, feature interactions (such as notification opt-in), and similar app activity via Firebase Analytics
- Advertising data — ad impressions, interactions, and related identifiers when ads are shown (see Section 4)
We do not ask for access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or precise location.
1.4 Purchases
Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive confirmation of your subscription status from Apple but do not receive your full payment card details. Apple’s privacy policy applies to payment processing: apple.com/legal/privacy
2. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide core App functionality (Bible reading, daily content, reading plans, trivia, prayers, and related features)
- Deliver push notifications you have opted into (daily verse reminders, feature announcements, and similar messages)
- Operate prayer-request and leaderboard features
- Show advertisements to non-subscribers and measure ad performance
- Improve the App, fix bugs, and understand how features are used
- Comply with legal obligations
3. Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party providers. Each may process data according to its own privacy policy:
| Provider | Purpose | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Analytics, Cloud Messaging, In-App Messaging) | Analytics, push notifications, in-app messages | firebase.google.com |
| Google AdMob | Display advertising (banner, interstitial, rewarded, and app open ads) | policies.google.com |
| Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) | Consent management for personalized advertising where required by law | policies.google.com |
| Apple StoreKit | Subscription purchase and entitlement verification | apple.com |
Our servers may also receive limited data (such as your anonymous device ID, app ID, and feature-specific payloads) when you use online content, prayer requests, trivia, reading plans, daily word, or leaderboard features.
4. Advertising and Your Choices
Free version with ads
If you do not have an active Premium subscription, the App may show ads through Google AdMob. Ads may appear on most screens. The Bible reading experience is kept free of banner ads so you can focus on Scripture.
Ad types may include banner and inline ads, full-screen interstitial ads, rewarded ads, and app open ads.
Consent and personalization
Where required by applicable law, we use Google’s consent tools to ask whether you agree to personalized advertising. You can change your choices in Settings → Ad Privacy Settings (when available).
Premium (ad-free)
An active Premium subscription removes advertisements. See our Subscription Terms.
Children
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
5. Push Notifications
If you enable notifications, the App will request permission from iOS and may register for push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can disable notifications in the App’s settings or in iOS Settings → Notifications.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers listed above, when required by law, or to protect rights and safety.
7. Data Retention
- On-device data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App.
- Server-side data is retained as long as needed to provide the feature and as required by law.
- Analytics and advertising data is retained according to Google’s and Firebase’s retention policies.
You may request deletion of server-side data by contacting us below.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
9. International Users
If you use the App from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have rights under applicable data protection law including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent.
California residents may have rights under CCPA/CPRA including knowing what we collect, requesting deletion, and opting out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
