Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Bible Buddy, including the website, web app, study tools, community features, messaging features, and related services we provide.

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Account information, such as your name, email address, profile details, login credentials, and account preferences.
• Content you create, such as notes, highlights, comments, messages, study progress, trivia activity, group posts, feedback, and other material you submit through Bible Buddy.
• Payment and subscription information related to Bible Buddy Pro or other paid features. Payment card details are processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe and are not stored directly by Bible Buddy.
• Device and usage information, such as browser type, approximate device information, app interactions, pages viewed, referral information, and general diagnostic or analytics data.
• Notification data, including push notification preferences, device subscription details, and message delivery status information.
• Communications you send to us, including support requests, contact submissions, and survey or feedback responses.

We collect information in several ways:

• Directly from you when you create an account or use features.
• Automatically when you use Bible Buddy.
• From integrated service providers that help us operate the app, including hosting, authentication, analytics, database, messaging, and payment tools.

We use information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Bible Buddy.
• Create and manage user accounts and authenticate users.
• Save your progress, notes, highlights, study history, and other account activity.
• Deliver community, messaging, and study features.
• Process subscriptions, upgrades, promotions, and payments.
• Send service-related messages, onboarding messages, updates, and notifications.
• Monitor performance, diagnose errors, and protect the service.
• Enforce our terms, community expectations, and legal rights.
• Comply with legal obligations.

Bible Buddy may use cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, improve performance, support analytics, and help core features work properly. Your browser may allow you to limit some of these technologies, but doing so may affect functionality.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information:

• With service providers that help us operate Bible Buddy, such as hosting, infrastructure, analytics, authentication, database, messaging, and payment providers.
• With other users when you choose to participate in community features, messages, comments, study groups, public profiles, or other shared spaces.
• If required by law, legal process, or a good-faith belief that sharing is necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.
• As part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections where appropriate.

Some features of Bible Buddy allow you to create or share content with others. Depending on the feature, that content may be visible to other users, study groups, or the broader community inside the app. Please avoid posting sensitive personal information in places intended for sharing.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Bible Buddy, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and the reason we hold it.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Bible Buddy is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it if appropriate.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• Access, update, or delete certain personal information.
• Request a copy of information associated with your account.
• Object to or limit certain processing in some circumstances.
• Opt out of marketing communications.
• Control browser-based cookies or device notification settings.

You may also be able to update some information directly from your account settings. To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below.

Bible Buddy may be accessed from different countries. By using the service, you understand that your information may be processed in countries other than your own, where data protection laws may differ.

Bible Buddy may link to or integrate with third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one. We encourage you to review those policies when using third-party services.

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California law, including rights to know, delete, correct, and limit certain uses of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date above. Your continued use of Bible Buddy after an update means the revised policy applies going forward.

For privacy questions or requests, contact us at support@mybiblebuddy.net.
