Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 15, 2026
Last Updated: April 15, 2026

The Full Bible ("we," "us," or "our") is a mobile and web-based application that provides the complete Bible (including Apocryphal texts, Deuterocanonical books, and historically recognized scriptures) along with an optional AI-guided reflection feature. We are committed to protecting your privacy and collecting only the minimum data necessary to provide and improve our service.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the rights you have regarding your data. By using The Full Bible, you consent to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

A. Account Information (Required for Guidance Feature)

  • Email address and basic profile information (name, profile picture) when you sign in with email/password or Google Sign-In
  • Unique user identifier generated by our authentication provider (Supabase Auth)
  • Authentication tokens for maintaining your session
Note: You cannot access the Guidance feature without logging in. This requirement exists solely to prevent abuse of the free tier (2 uses per week) and to attach subscriptions to legitimate accounts.

B. Subscription & Payment Information

  • Subscription status (free, pro, active, expired, canceled)
  • Subscription start date, renewal dates, and expiration dates
  • Square customer ID (for payment processing)
Important: We never store your credit card or payment details. All billing is handled exclusively by Square Payment Services. We receive only a token confirming your subscription status.

C. Guidance Feature Inputs (Transient Only)

When you use the Guidance section, you may type personal reflections about how you're feeling or what happened that day.

Critical Privacy Notice:
  • Your input text is sent to OpenAI's API for real-time analysis
  • We do not store, log, or retain your input text
  • The AI-generated response is not stored after delivery
  • The entire interaction is deleted from our servers immediately
  • The experience is completely private and exists only for that single session
