BIBL.

Privacy Policy

Last updated 30 September 2026

BIBL. is a Bible reading app. It is built so that the personal things you write in it — your notes, your prayers, your highlights — stay on your device. This policy explains exactly what that means, and the few places where anything does leave your phone.

What stays on your device

All of the following is stored only on your phone, in the app's own storage. We cannot read it, and it is never uploaded to us:

• Your journal notes and folders, including notes created by voice.
• Your prayers, whether active or marked answered.
• Your highlights, stickers and verse cards.
• Which chapters you have read, and where you left off.
• Your theme, text size, language and other preferences.
• Your profile photo, if you choose one.

Deleting the app removes all of it. You can also export a copy, or erase all of it, from Profile → Data & Privacy.

No account, no identifier

There is no sign-up and no login. The app does not create an account for you, does not ask for an email address, and does not assign you an identifier of any kind. We hold no record of you on any server, so there is nothing for us to look up, link, lose or hand over.

Voice notes

Voice notes are the only feature that sends anything you have written or said off your device, and the app asks you before the first one. If you agree, the recording is sent over an encrypted connection to a transcription service (xAI) and the resulting text to a language model (Anthropic) that tidies it into readable prose. The cleaned note is returned to your device and saved there. Declining leaves you typing instead, which sends nothing.

The audio is processed to produce that text and is not retained by us or stored against your identity. Your microphone is only ever used while you are actively recording a note, and iOS asks your permission first. If you decline, everything else in the app works exactly as before.

Scripture and word study

Scripture text and the original-language lexicon are bundled inside the app: the King James Version, the American Standard Version and the Reina-Valera 1909, all in the public domain. Reading, searching and word study work with no network connection and send nothing anywhere. The app makes no request to any Scripture service.

Payments

Creative Mode is an optional subscription. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple, with subscription state managed through RevenueCat. The app never sees or stores your payment details. Manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID settings at any time.

What we do not do

• No analytics or usage tracking of any kind.
• No advertising, ad networks or advertising identifier (IDFA).
• No selling or sharing of personal information. There is nothing to sell.
• No cross-app or cross-site tracking.
• No profiles built from what you read, write or pray about.

Children

BIBL. is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your choices

• Export — Profile → Data & Privacy → Export my data gives you a file of what you wrote and chose.
• Erase everything — Profile → Data & Privacy → Erase all my data removes your notes, prayers, highlights, reading history and settings from the device, after you confirm. Because nothing about you is held on a server, that is a complete deletion.
• Microphone — revoke access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.
• Subscription — manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your information is handled, the updated date above will change and the new version will appear here.
