This Privacy Policy describes what information Unfold ("we," "us," "our") collects when you use the Unfold mobile application (the "App"), how we use it, and the choices you have. We collect only what we need to run the App and to give you a personal, syncing reading experience.
1. Information You Provide Directly
- Account. Email address and (for email accounts) a hashed password. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive a stable user identifier and, where you authorize it, your name and email.
- Profile settings. Display preferences such as preferred text size and any settings you change in the App.
- Reading data. Your position in the reading plan, completed chapters, saved bookmarks, highlights, and personal verse notes.
- Journal entries. The full text of any journal entries you create.
- Bug reports. When you submit a bug report from Settings, the description you provide, severity level, and basic device information are sent to our issue tracker.
2. Information Collected Automatically
- Device and diagnostics. Device model, operating system version, app version, language, and crash diagnostics gathered by our error-reporting service (Sentry). We use this to fix bugs and improve stability.
- Server logs. Standard request logs containing IP address, request path, timestamp, and response status. Logs are rotated and retained for a limited period.
- Subscription state. RevenueCat manages your in-app subscription on our behalf and sends us webhook events indicating purchase, renewal, cancellation, and expiration. RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous user ID and the App Store / Play Store transaction record.
3. Information We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect location data.
- We do not access your contacts, photos, microphone, or camera.
- We do not show advertising and we do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
- We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
4. How We Use Your Information
- To create and maintain your account and authenticate sessions.
- To sync your reading progress, bookmarks, notes, and journal across reinstalls and devices.
- To process subscriptions, free trials, and entitlements through RevenueCat and the Apple App Store.
- To diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve the App.
- To respond to support requests and bug reports you send us.
5. Third-Party Service Providers
We share the minimum information required with the following providers, each acting on our instructions under their own privacy policies:
- Apple App Store and Google Play Store — payment processing and subscription billing.
- RevenueCat — subscription state management (privacy policy).
- Sentry — crash and error reporting (privacy policy).
- GitHub — bug reports submitted from the App are filed as issues in our private issue tracker (privacy statement).
- American Bible Society (API.Bible) — Bible text delivery. Only the requested book and chapter are sent; no personal identifier is included in the request.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account, reading data, journal entries, notes, and subscription history for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account from Settings, we delete the associated data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain certain records (for example, billing records) for legal or accounting purposes.
7. Security
We encrypt traffic between the App and our servers using TLS. Passwords are stored as one-way bcrypt hashes. Access to production systems is limited to a small number of authorized personnel. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
8. Children
Unfold is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; or to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email privacy@unfold.bible from the email address associated with your account.
10. International Transfers
Our servers and certain service providers are located in the United States. By using the App, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your home country.
11. Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through the App or by email before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
