Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide, information generated when you use the Service, and information we receive from payment, authentication, and other service providers.

Account, profile, and onboarding information

We may collect your email address, password or authentication credentials, birthday, username, display name, gender, bio, profile photo, and onboarding responses, such as why you want to study the Bible and your daily learning goal. We may also receive authentication information when you sign in through a provider such as Apple or Google.

Your birthday helps us administer the Service’s minimum age requirement. Some onboarding responses and learning activity may reveal religious or spiritual interests, which we treat as sensitive information.

Subscriptions and transactions

We collect or receive information about your subscription plan, trial eligibility and status, purchase and renewal dates, subscription status, purchase history, refunds, and access to paid content. We may use information about paid-content consumption to provide support or respond to refund requests.

Apple App Store, Google Play, or Stripe processes payments, depending on where you subscribe. We do not store your full payment-card number ourselves.

Learning, search, and referral activity

We collect reels watched, watch time, quiz responses and results, favorites, likes, streaks, achievements, learning progress, search queries, referral-code activity, and the dates and times of those activities.

The Community leaderboard displays a member’s display name, profile photo, and quiz progress, including a first-try quiz score and reels-watched count, to other signed-in members. If you have not set a username, the display name may default to the portion of your email address before the “@” symbol. That portion could reveal your identity. We recommend setting a username that you are comfortable showing to other members.

We do not currently use quiz results, streaks, or onboarding answers to algorithmically personalize the order of reels you see.

Comments, replies, and pray marks

If you are signed in, you may submit a comment of up to 500 characters on a reel, reply to a comment, or mark a comment with a pray mark. We collect the text you submit and associate it with the relevant reel, your display name, profile photo, and account identifier. We also record replies and pray-mark interactions needed to operate those features.

Other people who load a reel’s comments can see the comment or reply text, its display name, and its profile photo. Comments are not private. Viewing comments does not require a login. Posting a comment, reply, or pray mark requires a signed-in account.

Reports and blocks

If you block another member, we store the block relationship to hide that member from your Community and comments views.

If you report a member, we collect the account being reported, your name and email address, the reason you select—such as impersonation, a misleading account, inappropriate comments, harassment, or spam—and any message you provide. We use that information to review and respond to safety concerns. Your report is not displayed to the reported member as part of the Community or comments features.

Device, notifications, and technical information

We may collect IP address, approximate location inferred from IP address, device and browser information, operating-system and app versions, device identifiers, push-notification tokens, referring URLs, campaign information, logs, crash reports, and security information.

If you allow push notifications, we use your push token to deliver notifications. You can disable push notifications in your device settings.

Contacts and invitations

If you choose to invite someone using your device’s contact picker, the contact list stays on your device. We do not receive or upload your contact list. You send the invitation through your own messaging app.

Cookies, analytics, and session replay

We use cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies for sessions, functionality, analytics, security, and measurement of our own marketing. Tools including Google Analytics and Amplitude may collect page and screen views, navigation, product events, device information, identifiers, and campaign information.

We use Amplitude Session Replay on web sessions and collect certain form-interaction information to understand how people use the website and diagnose problems. Replay may show information visible during onboarding, profile editing, or subscription flows. Payment-card numbers are collected by Apple, Google, or Stripe, not stored by us.

We do not currently collect journals, private prayers, or AI-chat messages through the available Service. We do collect comments and replies as described above.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Create and manage accounts, verify age eligibility, and provide reels, quizzes, subscriptions, progress tracking, comments, replies, pray marks, and Community features.
• Display comments and replies to people who load the relevant reel, and display leaderboard information to signed-in members.
• Process blocks and reports; investigate impersonation, harassment, spam, and other abuse; and enforce our Terms of Service.
• Review submitted comments using our own keyword filter and an external moderation service.
• Process payments, manage subscription access, provide billing support, and assist with refund requests.
• Send account, subscription, renewal, security, product, and learning-related communications.
• Analyze usage, troubleshoot errors, improve the Service, and measure our own advertising and referral campaigns.
• Maintain records and comply with legal obligations.

The iOS and Android apps send device identifiers and in-app events, including app opens and subscription activity, to Meta and TikTok to measure Bible Reels ads. On iOS, we ask permission before using the advertising identifier. If you decline, we do not use that identifier for Meta or TikTok measurement.

We send comment text to OpenAI’s moderation API before saving a comment to help identify harassment, hate, sexual content, and similar material. We also use our own keyword filter. If the external moderation check is unavailable, a comment that passes our keyword filter may still be posted. Neither automated check guarantees that every inappropriate comment will be prevented. We do not control how long OpenAI retains text we send for that check.

3. Community Visibility

Information submitted to community features is not private.

• People who load a reel’s comments can see comment and reply text, display names, and profile photos.
• Other signed-in members can see Community leaderboard display names, profile photos, first-try quiz scores, and reels-watched counts.
• A username fallback may expose the portion of your email address before “@” as your display name.
• A pray mark may be reflected in the relevant comment’s interaction information.

Blocking a member hides that person from your Community and comments views as implemented by the Service. It does not necessarily remove previously viewed content, prevent someone else from viewing that person’s content, or guarantee that the blocked person cannot see content through another account.

Avoid including your address, phone number, email address, or other information you do not want others to see in a public comment, reply, username, bio, or profile photo.

4. How We Share Information

We disclose information to other users where needed to provide community features and to service providers that help us operate Bible Reels.

We may also disclose information to professional advisers; in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale; when required by law; or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security.

We do not sell your religious or spiritual information to data brokers or disclose it to third parties for their independent advertising.

5. Sensitive Information

Your Bible-study motivations, learning activity, comments, and other information you choose to provide may reveal religious or spiritual interests. We use this information to provide and improve the Service, operate community and safety features, respond to support requests, and protect users.

Do not include sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else in a comment or reply unless you are comfortable with it being visible to people who load that reel’s comments.

6. Retention and Account Deletion

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, meet legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, investigate abuse, and maintain security. Retention depends on the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

You may request account deletion through the “My” section of the Service or by emailing contact@vivadios.dev. We will delete or de-identify account information within a reasonable period, subject to lawful exceptions.

When you delete your account, we delete the account record. Your Community leaderboard entry is removed because the leaderboard is built from accounts. Block relationships that reference your account are removed. Comments, replies, and pray marks are not removed automatically. The display name and profile photo saved on a comment can remain visible after the account is deleted. Contact us with the reel and enough information to identify a specific comment if you want us to review it for removal. Copies of content outside our control, such as screenshots taken by other people, may remain. We may retain reports and related records for safety, legal, or compliance purposes. We delete or de-identify other account data tied to that deletion, except information we need to retain for legal, accounting, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes.

Deleting a Bible Reels account does not cancel an active subscription. You must cancel through the billing platform used for the purchase.

7. Children’s Privacy

Bible Reels is intended for people aged 13 or older. We collect birthday information to help administer this requirement. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that someone under 13 has provided personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Users aged 13–17 can use community features subject to these Terms. Their comments, replies, display names, and profile photos can be seen by people who load a reel’s comments; their display names, profile photos, and quiz progress can be seen by other signed-in members through Community. These features are not private. We may remove content or accounts that violate our rules.

Parents or guardians who believe a child under 13 has used the Service may contact contact@vivadios.dev.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. You may also:

• Change your username and other editable profile information.
• Avoid submitting information to comments or replies that you do not want others to see.
• Block a member or report a member through available in-app controls.
• Disable push notifications in your device settings.
• Opt out of non-essential marketing emails using the unsubscribe link.
• Manage cookies and similar technologies through available browser, device, or consent controls.

Email contact@vivadios.dev to make a privacy request. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information or decline a request where permitted by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures intended to protect information, including encrypted transmission, authentication, access controls, and monitoring. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Community content is visible as described in this policy regardless of the security measures used to protect non-public account information.

10. International Users

Bible Reels is operated from the United States. If you use the Service from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other locations where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate measures for cross-border transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices, features, vendors, or legal obligations change. We will revise the “Last updated” date and may provide additional notice of material changes through the Service or by email.
