Bible
Privacy Policy
Bible is a scripture reading, listening, and study app that can be used without account sign-up. Most settings and usage records are stored on the user's device.
1. Information Stored or Processed
- App settings: language, Bible version, denomination, theme, screen/tab settings, audio settings
- Reading/listening history: recent chapter, playback position, continue-reading state
- Study data: bookmarks, highlights, notes, and study progress
- Notification and widget settings: reminder time and widget display state
- Local cache: temporary files for scripture text and audio playback
- Optional purchase status: store processing result when an in-app product such as ad removal is provided
2. Storage Location
The information above is generally stored on the user's device through SharedPreferences, app-specific storage, or internal cache. It may be deleted when the app is uninstalled, app data is reset, or device storage is cleared.
3. External Service Communication
The app may communicate with external Bible content providers to load scripture text, translation metadata, and audio content. Technical information required for network requests, such as IP address, request time, and app/browser environment, may be transmitted to those services.
4. Ads, Purchases, and SDKs
Bible includes Google AdMob advertising and an optional one-time ad-removal purchase processed by Google Play or the App Store. Version 1.2.8 limits ads to a banner in Settings; earlier versions may have different placements. Ad availability depends on consent status, the store product and network availability. Core reading and locally saved records do not require an ad to load.
Google's Mobile Ads SDK may process IP addresses (including approximate location derived from them), device or advertising identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, and crash/performance diagnostics for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. Processing depends on the platform, permissions and consent choices. See Google's iOS disclosure, Android disclosure and privacy policy.
Consent prompts are presented when required. Where available, use the advertising privacy options in Settings to review your choices; device settings also provide advertising controls. Purchases and restoration use the platform store account. Bible stores purchase status locally and does not receive your payment card details. Removing ads does not remove transaction records held by Apple or Google.
Your journal responses remain in app storage unless you explicitly share an export. A Markdown export is a readable document, not a restorable backup. The destination you choose when sharing may process that file under its own policy.
5. Third-Party Sharing
The app communicates with external services only within the scope needed for Bible content delivery, ad display, or payment processing. The app does not arbitrarily sell users' personal information.
6. Retention and Deletion
- Clearing app data or uninstalling removes the app's local records, subject to device backup and restore settings. A settings reset is not a request to erase records retained by external services.
- Shared exports and device backups must be deleted separately at their destination. Contact Apple, Google or the relevant content provider for data held by those services.
- Notification permission can be revoked at any time from device settings.
- Cached data may be refreshed or cleared automatically while using the app.
7. Children's Privacy
Bible does not provide an account sign-up feature and does not intentionally collect personally identifiable information from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated when app features, laws, or third-party SDK policies change. Material changes will be announced through app update notes or public pages.
