BiblefyMe is built to respect your privacy. We don’t show ads, we don’t track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell your information. What we store depends on whether you use the phone app or the web app.
Phone apps (iOS & Android)
The details you enter to personalize Scripture — your name, gender, and any optional spouse or children names — along with your bookmarks, highlights, notes, prayers, memory verses, reading progress, streaks and settings, are stored only on your device. The phone apps have no accounts on our servers and do not upload this information to us.
Web app (app.biblefy.me)
You can read and personalize Scripture on the web without an account — in that case your data stays in your browser’s local storage. If you choose to create an account or sign in (with Google or an email and password), we store the following in Google Firebase so it can sync across your devices and be linked to your purchase:
- Your email address (for sign‑in).
- Your personalization profile: name, gender, and any optional spouse/children names you add.
- Your unlock status (whether you’ve purchased full access, which includes Married Edition).
Sign‑in and this data are handled by Google Firebase (Authentication & Firestore), acting as our processor.
Payments
Purchases on the web are processed by Stripe. Your card details are entered on Stripe’s secure checkout and are handled entirely by Stripe — we never see or store your card number. We only receive confirmation that a purchase succeeded so we can unlock your account. Purchases inside the phone apps are handled by Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
Push notifications
If you allow notifications, the phone apps register with Firebase Cloud Messaging so we can send the daily verse and occasional announcements. Registering creates an anonymous device token held by Google on our behalf. That token is not tied to your name, email or any account, and we do not use it to track you across apps or websites. The message we send contains only the day’s devotional title and Scripture reference — your name is added to the verse on your device, never on our servers. Turning notifications off in your device settings, or in Settings → Reminders in the app, stops this.
Microphone & speech
If you use voice search, your device’s built‑in speech recognition converts your speech to text to run the search. Audio is not recorded, stored, or sent to us.
Children
BiblefyMe lets you read Scripture personalized with a child’s name; that name is stored only on your device or in your own account. BiblefyMe is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices & deleting your data
On the phone apps, clearing the app’s data or uninstalling removes everything. On the web, you can sign out at any time; to delete the data associated with your account, contact us and we will remove it. You can also export your notes and bookmarks from within the app.
Anonymous usage counts
We use Google Firebase Analytics to count how the app is used — how many people finish setup, which screens are opened, whether a verse was shared as text or as an image. This tells us what to build next.
It never includes anything you wrote or anything that identifies you. Not your name, not your spouse’s or children’s names, not your bookmarks, highlights or notes, and not a word of what you type into “What’s happening right now?”. That text never leaves your phone at all. When you use that screen we record only which category it matched — for example “grief” — or that it matched nothing, so we know which situations to add.
You can turn this off in the app: Settings → Privacy → Anonymous usage counts. The app works exactly the same either way.
Changes
If we update this policy, we’ll revise the date above and post the new version here.
