Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 1, 2026

Freely Given ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Freely Given mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described herein.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. We do not require your real name.
  • User Content: Questions you ask the AI chat, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and reading plan progress are stored to provide and improve the Service.
  • Support Communications: If you contact us for support, we collect the information you provide in your message, including your email address and the content of your inquiry.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Device Information: We collect device type, operating system version, and a unique device identifier to ensure the app functions correctly on your device.
  • Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage analytics such as features used, session duration, and reading plan progress to improve the Service.
  • Crash and Error Data: We collect error logs and crash reports to diagnose and fix technical issues.

Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not collect your location data.
  • We do not access your contacts, photos, camera, or microphone.
  • We do not collect payment card numbers. All payment processing is handled by Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service, including AI-powered Bible answers, devotionals, and reading plans.
  • Process and manage your subscription through third-party payment platforms.
  • Send you daily verse notifications and other communications you have opted into.
  • Respond to your support requests and inquiries.
  • Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve the user experience.
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security vulnerabilities.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and encryption at rest to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to following best practices and promptly addressing any security incidents.

User content (chat history, bookmarks, notes) is stored for as long as your account is active. You can delete your data at any time as described in the Data Deletion section below.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Freely Given. Each has its own privacy policy governing the data they process:

Anthropic (AI Processing)

Your Bible questions and chat messages are sent to Anthropic's API to generate AI-powered responses. Anthropic processes this data according to their Privacy Policy. We do not send your personal account information (email, name) to Anthropic — only the content of your questions.

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions and verify purchase status. RevenueCat receives a unique app user identifier and purchase receipt data from your app store. They do not receive your email address or personal information directly from us. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Sentry (Error Tracking)

We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error logs to diagnose and fix technical issues. Sentry receives device information, error stack traces, and anonymized usage context. It does not receive your chat content or personal account details. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.

Mailgun (Email Communications)

We use Mailgun to send transactional emails such as account verification, password resets, and support responses. Mailgun processes your email address and email content for delivery purposes. See Mailgun's Privacy Policy.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data (see Data Deletion below).
  • Portability: You can request a machine-readable copy of your data.
  • Restriction: You can request that we limit how we process your data.
  • Objection: You can object to our processing of your data in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

6. Data Deletion

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the Freely Given app under Settings. When you delete your account:

  • Your account information (email, display name) is permanently deleted.
  • Your chat history, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and reading plan progress are permanently deleted.
  • Your subscription (if active) is not automatically canceled — you must cancel through your app store to avoid future charges.

Data deletion is irreversible. Please export any data you wish to keep before deleting your account. Deletion is processed within 30 days of your request.

7. Children's Privacy

Freely Given is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, through an in-app notification or email.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
