The short version
- You don't need an account. Your saved verses, likes, journal, cards and streak stay on your phone.
- The app sends our server what it needs to work: anonymous like and amen counts, quiz answers, and what you choose to share.
- When you share a prayer, comment, card or circle, other people can see it with the name you chose.
- The iPhone app has no ads and never asks to track you. The Android app shows ads from Google AdMob unless you go Premium or remove them.
- We don't sell your personal information.
Who we are
Bible Verses: Prayers & Memes on iPhone, and Bible Memes and Quotes on Android (together, the "app") is published by ROARX ANALYTICS LIMITED, [postal address] ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and the choices you have.
What stays on your phone
Most of the app works without sending anything about you. These are stored only on your device:
- Saved and liked posts, your journal and reflections, cards you make, and your streak
- Settings, reminders, personalization choices and viewing history
- Downloaded Bible translations and cached images and audio
Deleting the app removes them. You can also clear them in Settings › Privacy & storage.
What the app sends, and why
Some features need a server. Each one sends only what it needs.
| Feature | What is sent | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Feed and reactions | Which posts you like or say amen to, and your quiz answers, without your name or a lasting ID | To show counts and quiz results to everyone |
| Personalized Home | The topics you picked and the kinds of posts you want more or less of, sent with each feed request (only when Personalization is on) | To choose which posts to show you |
| Prayer wall | The display name you enter, a random ID created when you first post, and your prayers, comments, likes and reports | To show your prayers and comments to the community and to moderate them |
| Prayer circles | Your circle name and settings, the member name you use, prayer requests, comments, a random device ID and invite codes | To run the circle for its members, or for everyone if it is public |
| Publishing and reporting | A sign-in token from Google, the card you publish or the post you report, and the reason. Our server keeps an anonymous account code, not your name or email | To publish cards, stop abuse and review reports |
| Google Drive backup | Your library, saved to a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive. It is never uploaded to our server, and the app can't see your other Drive files | So you can restore on another phone |
| iCloud backup (iPhone) | Your library, saved to this app's private folder in your own iCloud Drive, using your Apple Account. It is never uploaded to our server, and the app can't see your other iCloud files | So you can restore on another iPhone or iPad |
Like every internet service, our servers and our hosting provider receive your IP address and basic request details. We use them to deliver content, keep the service secure and fix problems.
Ads and tracking
iPhone: the app shows no ads, doesn't use your advertising identifier and doesn't track you across other companies' apps or websites. The free app is supported by Premium.
Android: the free version shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier, IP address and general location to show and measure ads. Ads are limited to content rated for general audiences.
- EEA, UK and Switzerland: a consent form from Google asks for your choices first. You can change them any time in Settings › Privacy & storage › Ad privacy choices.
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Google settings.
- Premium and Remove Ads turn off ads completely, and you're no longer asked about ads.
Purchases
Subscriptions and one-time purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play. We never see your payment card or billing details. The store tells the app only which products you own, so it can turn on Premium. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store or Google Play account settings.
Phone permissions
- Notifications: asked for only when you turn on a reminder. Reminders are scheduled on your phone.
- Photos: used only to save the cards you make. The app doesn't read your photo library.
- Audio: Bible stories and read-aloud keep playing in the background. Text-to-speech runs on your phone.
Services we use
We share information only with services that help run the app, and only for the purposes above:
- Google: AdMob (ads, Android only), Google Sign-In (publishing and reporting) and Google Drive (your own backups). Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Apple and Google Play: purchases and app distribution. On iPhone, Apple's iCloud stores your own backups if you make one.
- RevenueCat: processes Bible Plus purchases and subscriptions for us. It receives your purchase receipts and a random app user ID, not your name or email. RevenueCat's privacy policy is at revenuecat.com/privacy.
- Community prayer service: hosts the prayer wall, operated by [operator name].
- Hosting: [hosting provider] runs our server.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect people from harm.
How long we keep it
- Prayers, comments, published cards and circle content stay until you delete them, or until we remove them for breaking community rules.
- Reports are kept while they are reviewed and for up to [12 months] afterwards, to deal with repeated abuse.
- Server logs are kept for up to [30 days].
- Anonymous counts (likes, amens, quiz answers) are kept for as long as the post exists.
Your choices
- Delete what you published or reported: Settings › Privacy & storage › Delete my posts & reports removes them from our server and signs you out of Google.
- Prayer wall: delete your own prayers and comments from the menu on each one.
- Circles: leave a circle and delete your prayer requests at any time. The circle owner can delete the whole circle.
- Hide and block: report a post to hide it right away, or block someone on the prayer wall so you no longer see what they post.
- Local data: clear your viewing history or local library in Settings, or delete the app.
Children
The app isn't directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you think a child has shared information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
Security and international transfers
All connections from the app use encryption (HTTPS/TLS). Our server and service providers may be in countries other than yours, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Where the law requires, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses for these transfers.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your information, and to object to or limit how we use it. Because the app has no accounts, we may need the random ID shown in the app, or the content itself, to find your data. To make a request, contact us below. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on providing the service you asked for (sharing, circles, backups), our legitimate interest in keeping the app safe and working, and your consent for personalized ads.
We don't sell or share personal information for money. Ad personalization through AdMob can count as "sharing" under California law; turning off tracking on iPhone, or turning off ad personalization in Settings, opts you out.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. For important changes, we will tell you in the app before they take effect.
