Please do not include sensitive personal information (health, financial, government ID, passwords, precise location) in your questions. You may report inappropriate AI responses using in-app report tools where available.

Many features store data locally on your iPhone or iPad, including:

- Cached thumbnails, audio files, and Reels media (clearable via Settings → Clear Cache);

Clearing the App cache removes downloaded media but does not delete your bookmarks, notes, or Bible text downloads unless you remove those separately.

- Device-local data: retained on your device until you delete the App, clear relevant data, or reset preferences.
- Server-side device/profile data: retained as long as needed to operate the App and provide support, unless you request deletion.

12) Internet requirement
The App requires an active internet connection to load Bible content, dashboard data, audio, Reels, Bible AI responses, subscription status, and ads. If no connection is available, core features will not function and the App will display an offline notice.
13) International transfers
Third-party services (such as Google and Apple) and our servers may process data on servers located outside your country or region. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
