Privacy Policy

Overview

Bhutan's Bible does not operate for profit. Thanks to funding by generous donors, we do not need to earn revenue from this service. As such, whatever data we collect about you is collected to help us provide a better product; it is not collected for us to resell or generate income.

Why we collect this information

The information we collect allows us to ensure that the app is functioning well for our users. For example, knowing the OS version allows us to make the app more efficient by dropping support for older OSes. Other information also helps us determine if the app is useful for our intended audience.
We do not sell our user information or use it for any purposes other than the ways mentioned above.

What information we collect

User accounts

If you choose to create a user account, we will be able to see the email address you use for the account. User accounts allow you to sync your highlights, notes, etc. between devices. Again, we will not use any user information for any purpose other than stated above.
Why we collect this information

Videos

We have embedded YouTube videos from the Bible Project. These videos are subject to Google's privacy policy.

Analytics

We use Firebase (a Google service) and Google Analytics to track how our app and website are performing. These services tell us:

  • the location (city-level only),
  • device type (mobile, tablet, and OS version), and
  • app version number

These services also give us app crash reports so that we can identify parts of our app that are not functioning properly. Finally, these services tell us how much time users spend in each part of the app.

None of this information is "personally identifiable". This information does not tell us who our individual users are. If you would like to opt out of sharing this information, go to "Settings" and tap to remove the check mark beside "Share usage data".

AI tools

Starting with version 3.0, we included an AI tool that generates Bible study questions, historical and cultural background, etc. for whatever passage you're reading. This tool uses OpenAI and so is subject to their privacy policy for using their API systems.

We do not send any personally identifiable information to OpenAI. It is our understanding that OpenAI will maintain records of the questions sent to their servers and of the responses their servers generate, but none of these records will be tied to you. Also, since our app uses pre-written questions for you to ask the AI, your use of the AI tool will not generate any unique data for OpenAI.

Further questions

If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us.
Please note: if you contact us using the Contact form, you will be providing us your email address. We will only use your email address for replying to your comments.
