The short version

Bible Widget is built to keep what you write — prayers, profile, journal — on your device. We send the smallest amount of data needed to personalize the verses you see, and we tell you below exactly what that is. We don’t sell your data. We don’t profile you for advertisers.

What stays on your iPhone

• Your full prayer journal history.
• Your verse history, likes, dislikes, saves, and skips.
• Your widget settings, theme choice, and reminder times.
• The Bible text itself (every translation ships inside the app).

What we send to our servers

To generate verses tailored to your life, the app calls our backend with:

• An anonymous device ID (a random UUID we mint on first launch — not your Apple ID, not your email).
• Your onboarding selections (life stage, top struggles, faith depth, age range — all from a fixed set of options).
• Short summaries of your most recent prayers (up to three) so the AI can pick verses that actually fit.
• Aggregated “you liked X / disliked Y” theme tags from your in-app feedback.
• Your preferred translation, language, and timezone.

We forward this to OpenRouter, which routes it to Anthropic Claude for the verse-selection step. The model is asked to choose which verse fits — the verse text itself is then fetched from our trusted Bible database, never written by the model.

Subscriptions

Pro purchases are handled by Apple via RevenueCat, which is how we know whether your device should see the Pro features. RevenueCat receives an anonymous identifier tied to your purchase — not your name, not your email.

Analytics & crash reporting

We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (Google) to understand which features get used and to fix crashes. These collect device model, OS version, app version, and anonymous event counts. They do not collect the text of your prayers or your journal.

We use AppsFlyer to measure which ads bring people to the app. If you tap “Allow” on the App Tracking Transparency prompt iOS shows during onboarding, AppsFlyer can use your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) to attribute the install. If you tap “Ask App Not to Track,” we report install events without the identifier and no cross-app tracking happens.

Push notifications

Daily reminders are scheduled locally on your device. Apple’s push servers see only the timing — not the verse content. You can turn reminders off in Settings → Notifications → Bible Widget at any time.

Data retention

Personalization payloads are kept on our backend just long enough to debug failures (typically 30 days) and are then deleted. Aggregated, anonymous metrics may be kept longer.

Your choices

• Delete a prayer: swipe in the Prayer Journal.
• Stop personalization: uninstall the app. Your device ID becomes orphaned and our copy of the data is purged on the next sweep.
• Tracking: revoke ATT in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Email us at hello@biblewidget.io to request a copy or deletion of any data tied to your device ID.

Children

The app is rated 4+ and contains no objectionable content, but it is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that materially affects you, we’ll update the “Last updated” date and surface the change in the app on next launch.
