Privacy Policy

Data Collection

We collect the following types of data:

• Usage Analytics: App usage statistics, screen views, feature interactions, and time spent on screens through Google Firebase Analytics and Amplitude.
• Device Information: Device ID (Android ID or iOS identifierForVendor), device model, and operating system.
• User Preferences: Nickname (optional), reading progress, and liked verses stored locally on your device.
• Location Data: Approximate location coordinates (city-level) for analytics purposes, only if you grant location permissions.
• Push Notifications: To send you daily verse notifications at your chosen time, we use Firebase Cloud Messaging and store your device push token, timezone (e.g. Asia/Kolkata), your chosen notification time, and language preference on our servers (Google Firebase). This data is used only to deliver notifications at the right time in your local time. You can turn off notifications in app settings at any time.

All analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. Your nickname is stored locally and sent to Firebase Analytics and Amplitude (as a hashed identifier and as a user property for personalization) for analytics purposes.

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used to:

• Improve app functionality and user experience
• Identify bugs and performance issues
• Understand how users interact with the app
• Provide personalized features (e.g., greeting with your nickname)
• Deliver daily verse push notifications at your chosen time and in your preferred language (using timezone and notification preferences)

Legal Basis (GDPR Article 6): We process your data based on your consent and our legitimate interest in improving our services.

Data Retention

• Local Data: Your nickname, reading progress, and liked verses are stored on your device and can be deleted by uninstalling the app or using the reset feature.
• Analytics Data: Firebase Analytics retains data according to Google's data retention policies (typically 14 months). Amplitude retains data according to its data retention policy.
• Location Data: Location coordinates are not stored permanently; they are used only for analytics aggregation.
• Push Notification Data: Your FCM token, timezone, and notification preferences are stored in Firebase and retained according to our and Google's policies. Disabling notifications in app settings or uninstalling the app stops further use of this data for push notifications.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Firebase Analytics and Amplitude for data collection. We also use Firebase Cloud Messaging and Firestore to deliver push notifications (e.g. daily verse). Data may be transferred to and processed by Google and Amplitude (or their processors) servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Both are certified under appropriate data protection frameworks.
