Devotional4You Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6/5/2025
1. Information We Collect
Personal and Usage Data
- Reading Progress Data: Devotional4You tracks your progress with devotional and Bible reading content (for example, whether you have completed a particular devotional or Bible reading session). This data is locally stored on your device and is used solely to provide a personalized experience.
Data from Third-Party Services
- Firebase Services: We use Google Firebase for various essential services including user authentication, analytics, crash reporting (Firebase Crashlytics), and messaging. Firebase collects and processes certain data in accordance with their privacy policy, including:
- • Authentication data for user accounts
- • Analytics data about app usage and performance
- • Crash reports and diagnostic information
- • Device tokens for push notifications
- Expo and Related Modules: Devotional4You uses a number of Expo modules (e.g., expo-splash-screen, expo-haptics, expo-constants) and open source libraries. These modules adhere to their own privacy policies, and in using our app you may be subject to their practices as well. We do not use these modules to collect personal information beyond what is necessary for app functionality.
2. How We Collect Information
- Local Storage: All personal usage data—including your devotional and Bible reading progress—is stored locally on your device using secure storage methods (for instance, via AsyncStorage). We do not automatically transmit these details to any external server or database.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Enhancing Your Experience: Your stored reading preferences and progress enable the App to provide a personalized and seamless devotional experience.
- Improving App Functionality: By analyzing how you interact with the App (locally and in aggregated form), we can identify issues, test new features, and improve the overall performance.
4. Data Security
- We are committed to protecting your data. All information stored on your device is managed using built-in secure storage techniques available on modern mobile platforms.
- Although most data remains fully on your device, we recommend that you use device-level security settings (such as a passcode or biometric authentication) to further protect your information.
5. Third-Party Disclosure
- No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. The only time information might be shared is if required by law or when necessary to protect our rights.
- Service Providers: Some third-party libraries and modules (including those from Expo) are used to support our App's functionality. These services are governed by their own privacy policies.
6. Your Rights and Choices
- Local Data Management: You can clear your reading progress and other locally stored data by using the App's internal features (for example, by clearing local storage or resetting the devotional state).
- Opting Out: As our App does not collect personal data for advertising or external analytics, there is no additional opt-out mechanism required. However, you can stop using the App at any time if you are not comfortable with these practices.
7. Children's Privacy
Devotional4You does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App without parental consent, please contact us immediately.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any significant changes will be communicated to you either through an in-app notification or via an email notification if contact information has been provided. The date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
