Bible Scroller
Privacy Policy
Bible Scroller is a Scripture reading app published by Gratia Dei LLC ("we"). This policy explains what the app does and does not collect. The short version: the app has no accounts, never knows who you are, and works entirely on your device except for the few optional features listed below.
What stays on your device
Your favorites, chosen topics, theme, notification settings, and reading position are stored only on your device. We cannot see them. Deleting the app deletes them.
What the app sends, and when
| Feature | What is sent | When | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email updates (optional) | The email address you type | Only if you enter one during setup | To send occasional updates about the app. You can skip this entirely. |
| Passage updates | Nothing personal — a request for the latest verse collection | Roughly once a day when online | To download new passages so the app stays fresh without an update |
| Chapter reader | The book and chapter you tap "Read chapter" on | Only when you tap it | To fetch the full chapter text from bible-api.com (World English Bible) |
| Anonymous engagement counts | Which verse was hearted or shared, which topics were picked, which denomination was searched — tagged with a random installation ID | As you use those features | To learn which verses and topics people love most. The random ID lets us avoid double-counting; it is not linked to you, your email, or your device identity. |
| Church finder | Nothing from this app | When you tap "Find churches near me" | The app opens your Maps app with a search. Maps — not Bible Scroller — asks for your location. We never access, store, or transmit your location. |
What we do NOT collect
No name, no account, no password, no location, no contacts, no advertising identifiers, no tracking across apps or websites, no analytics SDKs from third parties. We do not sell or share data with anyone.
Where data is stored
Email addresses and anonymous engagement counts are stored with Supabase (cloud database hosting). Chapter text comes from bible-api.com. Neither receives anything beyond what the table above describes.
Your choices
- Skip the email step, or leave the field blank — nothing is sent.
- Turn notifications off at any time in Settings.
- To remove your email from our list, contact us at the address above.
- Uninstalling the app removes all on-device data.
Children
Bible Scroller is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children, beyond the optional email described above.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at the same address with an updated effective date. This policy lives at https://www.gratia-dei.com/privacy.
