Privacy Policy

Biblical Tools App — Bible Ministries International

Effective Date: April 1, 2026  •  App: Biblical Tools  •  Developer: Bible Ministries International

Summary: The Biblical Tools app does not collect, store, or share your personal information. All your study data stays on your device.

Data Collection

The Biblical Tools app does not collect personal data. We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, or any identifying information to use the app.

  • No account or registration required
  • No advertising tracking or behavioral analytics
  • No device fingerprinting or unique identifiers collected
  • No data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing

Local Storage

Certain features of the app save data locally on your device only. This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Data stored locally includes:

  • Bible study chat history
  • Bible reading progress and bookmarks
  • Step counter and fitness tracking data
  • Food and nutrition logs
  • Personal notes

You can clear this data at any time by uninstalling the app or clearing app data through your device settings.

Third-Party AI Services

The Bible study chat feature uses an AI service (provided by OpenAI or Anthropic) to generate responses to your questions. When you send a message in the chat:

  • Only the text of your conversation is sent to the AI service
  • No personal identifiers are included (no name, email, device ID, or account info)
  • No location data is sent
  • No device information is transmitted

These AI providers have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them if you have concerns about how conversation text is handled on their end.

Audio Streaming

Audio Bible narration is streamed directly from our servers at biblicaltools.org. Standard web server logs (IP address, timestamp, file requested) may be recorded as part of normal server operation, but this data is not associated with any personal profile and is not used for tracking purposes.

No user account data or identifiers are collected during audio playback.

App Permissions

The app may request the following device permissions:

  • Activity / Step Counter: Used to count steps using your device's motion sensors. Step data is stored locally on your device only and is never transmitted.
  • Location (optional): If granted, location is used only to determine your local timezone for accurate day-boundary tracking (e.g., midnight rollover for daily step counts). No location coordinates are stored or transmitted to any server.

All permissions are optional where possible. Denying a permission will disable only the feature that relies on it.

Children's Privacy

The Biblical Tools app is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will promptly address it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
