No account, no profile, no advertising identifier. We do not know which apps you guard, what you read, or when you gave in and opened the feed — that information never leaves your device.
The app sends anonymous usage events to Amplitude so we can see which parts of the app people actually use: the app was opened, a reading session was started or finished, how many seconds it lasted, the paywall was shown, a purchase succeeded or failed. These events carry no Scripture references, no bookmarks and no list of your apps, and they are not linked to your identity: there is no account to link them to.
Nothing is shared with advertisers or data brokers, because nothing is collected that would interest them.
It does not watch your phone. You create a Shortcuts automation yourself — "when Instagram is opened, open Bible Lock: Screen Time" — and iOS launches this app. We receive nothing except the name of the app you chose to guard, which you told us yourself when you set it up. The app has no access to your screen time data, your usage history, or any app you did not pick.
Pro is processed by Apple. To validate a purchase and restore it on your other devices, the app uses RevenueCat, which receives a random anonymous identifier and the receipt Apple issues. RevenueCat does not receive your name, your email address or anything about your reading. We never see your payment details — Apple handles payment.
The daily reminder is optional and off until you choose a time. It is scheduled by iOS on your device; no server sends it, and we do not know whether you opened it.
The app is not directed to children under 13 and collects no personal information from anyone.
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
