The App stores the following locally using Android app preferences (not uploaded by us to our own servers):

3.3 Permissions

The App does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or precise GPS location for its reading features.

4. How we use information

5. Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data related to advertising may be processed by Google and advertising partners as part of AdMob’s services.

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of users or the App, where legally permitted.

6. Data retention

7. Children’s privacy

The App provides religious educational content and is not directed at children under 13 as a social network or user-generated content service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our own features.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information through advertising services, please contact us and also review Google’s tools for managing ads and advertising ID settings on the device.

If you configure the App for a child-directed audience in store listings or AdMob, you must ensure ad settings comply with applicable child-privacy laws and Google policies (including appropriate ad serving configurations).

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location (for example, EEA/UK/California), you may have rights to access, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal data. Because we primarily process data on-device and via Google’s advertising services, requests related to ad data may need to be directed to Google as well. Contact us at the email above and we will help where we can.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures appropriate to an offline reading app. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. Advertising traffic is handled by Google’s infrastructure under their security practices.

10. Third-party links and content

Ads may open third-party websites or apps. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Review their policies before providing personal information.

11. International users

If you use the App outside your country of residence, information processed by Google AdMob may be transferred to and processed in other countries, including the United States, subject to Google’s terms and safeguards.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.
