Privacy Policy

Orthodox Christian Bible ("Orthodoxy")
Last updated: April 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the Orthodox Christian Bible app ("Orthodoxy", "we", "us", or "our") handles your information when you use our iOS application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

• Notification Preferences: Your chosen morning and evening prayer reminder times are stored locally on your device using Apple's UserDefaults. This information never leaves your device.
• Theme Preference: Your chosen light or dark mode setting is stored locally on your device.
• App Visit Count: A simple counter stored locally on your device to determine when to show the optional subscription prompt. This never leaves your device.
• Subscription Status: If you choose to subscribe, your subscription is managed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information or billing details.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not collect:

• We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal identification information
• We do not collect your location data
• We do not collect usage analytics or track how you use the app
• We do not collect your contacts or any other data from your device
• We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs
• We do not share any data with third parties

3. How We Use Your Information

All information stored by the app is used solely to provide you with the app's features:

• Prayer reminder times are used only to schedule your daily notifications
• Your theme preference is used only to display the app in your chosen appearance
• Your subscription status (managed by Apple) is used only to determine whether to show the optional support prompt

4. Data Storage

All app preferences and settings are stored locally on your device using Apple's standard iOS storage mechanisms (UserDefaults). This data is not transmitted to any server and remains entirely on your device. If you delete the app, all locally stored data is removed.

5. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The Orthodox Christian Bible app offers an optional auto-renewable subscription at $7.99/month to support ongoing development. All payments and subscription management are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not process, store, or have access to your payment information. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID settings.

6. Push Notifications

The app requests permission to send you push notifications for your daily morning and evening prayer reminders. You can grant or revoke this permission at any time through your iPhone's Settings app. We do not use notifications for marketing or advertising purposes.

7. Children's Privacy

Our app does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. The app contains no advertising, no social features, and no data collection, making it safe for users of all ages.

8. Third-Party Services

The Orthodox Christian Bible app does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The only third-party service involved is Apple's App Store for subscription management, which is governed by Apple's own Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
