Privacy Policy
We wrote this to be read. The short version: we keep what we need to run your account and keep your reading safe across your devices. We do not sell anything about you, we do not show ads, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.
What we collect
If you never make an account, your reading, highlights, notes and settings stay on your phone. We receive nothing about you, with two small exceptions: if the app crashes it sends us a crash report (described below), and if you send us feedback from the app, we get what you wrote.
If you make an account, we keep:
- Your sign-in details: your email address and, if you add one, your name. You can sign in with Apple, Google, or your email. If you use Sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the account identifier they give us and the email they share (with Apple this can be a private relay address).
- Your reading: which chapters you have opened, the days you read and for how many minutes, your time in each book, the words and articles you have opened (your Discoveries), and your place in the Bible. This is what lets your progress follow you to a new phone.
- What you write and mark: your highlights, notes, study pages, highlight color names, and bookmarks. These are private to you. No one else can see them.
- Which features you use: a small count of how often you use features such as word cards, search, or highlighting, by day. Only the name of the feature and a number. Never the words you searched for, never your notes, never which verses.
- Your settings for app features: which optional features you have turned on or off (for example red letters or focus mode).
- Your membership status: whether you are a member, which plan, and when it renews. Apple handles every payment. We never see or store your card or bank details.
Everyone (account or not):
- Crash reports: when the app crashes, it sends the error message, the technical details of where it broke, the app version, and your phone's operating system. It does not include your name, email, or what you were reading.
- Feedback you choose to send: if you use the feedback button or email us, we receive what you wrote (and, in the app, the screen you were on).
- Reminders are scheduled on your phone itself. We do not send them from a server and we do not keep your reminder times.
This website
This section is about olivetbible.com only. The Olivet app has no ads and no tracking tools.
On olivetbible.com we use two outside tools to learn how people find Olivet and whether our ads work:
- Google Analytics and Google Ads (from Google). They set cookies and collect things like the pages you visit, how long you stay, the site or ad that sent you, your browser and device type, your rough location (city or region, from your IP address), and whether you tapped the App Store button.
- Meta Pixel (from Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram). It sets cookies and tells Meta which pages you visited and whether you tapped the App Store button, so we can measure our ads and show them to people who might like Olivet. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram, Meta may connect this to your account under its own policy.
We do not put your name, your email, or anything from the app into these tools. Google and Meta use this data under their own privacy policies: Google and Meta.
Your choices: tap No thanks on the cookie notice, or use Cookie choices at the bottom of any page. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we turn these tools off for you automatically. If you visit from Europe or the UK, they stay off unless you tap OK. You can also block cookies in your browser settings, and Google offers an opt-out add-on.
Our web host also keeps standard server logs (such as your IP address, browser type, and the page you asked for) to keep the site running and safe. Our fonts and images are served from our own site.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your information. Ever.
- We do not show ads, and there are no advertising or tracking tools in the app.
- The app does not track you across other apps or websites. (Our website uses Google and Meta tools; see This website.)
- We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, or microphone.
Who helps us run it
A few companies store or process data for us, only to run Olivet:
- Supabase stores accounts and synced app data, and runs sign-in.
- RevenueCat keeps track of your membership status so the app knows what to unlock.
- Apple handles payments, and Sign in with Apple if you use it.
- Google handles Sign in with Google if you use it.
- Vercel hosts this website.
- Google (Analytics and Ads) and Meta (Pixel) measure visits and ads on this website only.
Each of them works under its own privacy and security terms.
How long we keep it
We keep your account data while you have an account. When you delete your account, your personal data and everything you wrote is removed from our systems within 30 days, except anything we must keep by law (for example records of purchases). Crash reports and feedback are kept as long as they help us fix and improve the app, and are not tied to your account.
Your choices
- Delete your account: in the app, tap the person icon (top of Discover or Library), scroll to Account, and tap Delete my account. This removes your account and everything attached to it. You can also ask by email; see how to delete your account.
- Get a copy of your data, or ask us to correct it: email support@olivetbible.com.
- Turn off reminders any time in the app or in your phone's settings.
- Cancel a membership any time in your iPhone's Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription, so cancel it there too.
Your rights where you live
Depending on where you live (for example California, the EU, or the UK), the law may give you the right to know what we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, or to have it deleted. We give these rights to everyone, wherever you live. Email support@olivetbible.com and we will answer within 30 days.
We never sell your information for money. Some state laws, like California’s, count the Google and Meta ad tools on our website as “sharing” for advertising. You can opt out of that sharing any time with Cookie choices at the bottom of any page, or by turning on Global Privacy Control in your browser.
Children
Olivet is not made for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has made an account, email support@olivetbible.com and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before the change takes effect. The date at the top always shows the current version.
