Privacy Policy

Without an account, your language, reading streaks, highlights and private notes stay on your device. Online features still send the technical requests described below, and error reports may be sent when something fails.

With an optional account: your email address, a securely hashed password, and your reading data (streak days, highlights, notes, reading-plan progress, experience points, and game scores) are stored with our database provider, Supabase, so your progress can sync across your devices. The leaderboard is opt-in — only if you choose to join it do your display name, level, and experience points become visible to other users, and you can leave it at any time.

If you use community features: your profile (display name, username, avatar, bio, badges), friendships, group memberships, reading check-ins, plan progress, chat messages, and the notes, highlights, verse images, plans, or milestones you explicitly share are stored in Supabase. Friends see only activity you choose to share. Existing private reading data is never automatically published.

When the native app initializes its notification service, OneSignal receives a push subscription/device identifier, basic device and operating-system information, session activity, and notification interactions. When you sign in, the subscription is linked to your Daily Maná user ID so group and account notifications reach the correct device.

If you enable Faith Lock on iPhone, Apple provides the app with private, opaque selections for the apps or categories you choose to restrict. Those selections and your lock schedule stay on your device and in the app's private iOS app group. Daily Maná does not receive app-usage history, browsing history, or the names of the apps you select.

If you submit a community prayer request, Supabase stores the request and your account ID so we can prevent abuse, let you manage it, count prayers, and notify you. Other members receive only the prayer text, category, language, date, and prayer count—not your account ID, name, profile, or contact information. Prayer interactions (prayed or skipped), reports, and blocks are also stored to prevent repeats and protect members.

Error reports: when a feature fails, the app may send a redacted error message and stack trace, page path, app version, platform, language and a session identifier to Supabase so we can diagnose and fix problems. Signed-in reports include your account ID. We remove query strings and common credential and email patterns before sending reports. We do not intentionally include your messages, prayer requests or private notes in these reports.

Stories: the text, verse, photo or short video you choose to publish, its styling and your account ID are stored in Supabase and shown to the permitted audience. Stories stop being viewable after 24 hours; a scheduled cleanup removes expired media and records. Reports and moderation records may be retained to handle abuse.

Your email is used only to sign you in and recover your account. Your reading data is used only to show you your own notes and streaks. We do not use your data for advertising, we do not profile you, and we never sell or share it with third parties for their purposes.

Supabase hosts account data, synced reading data, shared community content and error reports on our behalf.

When you use the Bible reader, chapters are fetched from the free bible.helloao.org API, and audio narration streams from our media host. We do not attach your account, notes or reading history to those requests; the service receives normal technical request data, such as your IP address.

Donations are completely optional and processed entirely by the provider you choose (Cash App or PayPal) on their own websites/apps. We never see or store your card, bank, or payment details.

OneSignal delivers optional remote push notifications and measures notification delivery and interaction. We use it for app functionality and service analytics, not advertising or tracking you across other companies' apps or websites.

YouTube videos and music: the Videos tab and optional Music search use YouTube Data API metadata and YouTube's official embedded player. A Music search sends only the words you enter, your language, and the normal technical request data through Daily Maná's proxy; it is not tied to your Daily Maná account. When a player loads, YouTube and Google receive your IP address, device and browser details, and may set cookies. We never download or host these videos, and we do not send Google your name, email, notes, or reading activity. If you prefer not to share data with YouTube, do not use Videos or Music search; bundled Daily Maná instrumentals remain available.

On public website pages, we use Vercel Web Analytics to count visits and understand how people find Daily Maná. It uses no analytics cookies. We remove query strings and fragments and exclude account, group, search and reading pages. We do not send your account ID, notes, messages or reading history. This website measurement is not included in the installed mobile apps.

Notifications (optional): the daily verse reminder is scheduled only on your device. If you also use signed-in community notifications, OneSignal processes the notification subscription and interaction data described above so those remote alerts can be delivered.

Photos and camera (optional): when you choose an avatar or add media to a story, the app opens a picker or camera so you can select a photo or short video. Only the media you choose is uploaded. You can decline and continue using text features.

Screen Time / Family Controls (optional): Faith Lock requests Apple's individual authorization only when you turn it on. It is used solely to restrict the apps you choose until your reading goal is complete. Apple keeps the selection private; Daily Maná does not collect, track, or transmit Screen Time usage data or the names of selected apps. You can turn Faith Lock off at any time.

Contacts (optional, if released): Daily Maná asks you to choose specific contacts. We check only the selected email addresses for exact account matches; we do not upload or retain your address book. You can add friends by exact username or email without granting contact access.

You can delete your account and all synced data at any time from the sign-in panel in the app ("Delete my account"). Deletion is immediate and permanent.
