Privacy & Data Use

Our Commitment to Privacy

Living Devo was built with a simple principle: your spiritual exploration is personal.

In the free experience, this app DOES NOT track you, DOES NOT profile you, and DOES NOT store your Scripture searches — you can explore Bible Navigator, Devotionals, and Challenges freely without creating an account or sharing personal information.

An account is optional. If you create one (for example, to subscribe to Living Devo+), it is used to keep your journal entries, built devotionals, and progress synced across your devices — so the same journal follows you from your phone to your laptop. That's the only reason an account exists: nothing about you is tracked, profiled, sold, or used for anything beyond showing your own reflections back to you.

Who We Are

Living Devo is published by Living Devo LLC. Questions about this policy or your data can be sent to foundercw@livingdevo.org.

What Information Is Collected

Free experience:

• NO name or personal profile
• NO account or login required to use the free features
• NO Scripture search history is saved — Bible Navigator sends your question to generate a response, then discards it; nothing is logged or kept
• NO personal notes or reflections are collected

If you create an account (including Living Devo+ subscribers):

• Your email address and a unique account ID, to sign you in, manage your account, and send account-related emails (such as the notice before data is deleted after a lapsed subscription)
• The journal entries, prayers, and reflections you choose to write — stored so they follow you across your devices, and for no other purpose. Because these are your own words, they may reveal personal beliefs, including your faith. They are private to your account, are never shared with anyone, and are never used for advertising, profiling, or anything else. Writing them is always optional
• Payment details, handled entirely by Stripe — Living Devo never sees or stores your card number

Nothing beyond this is ever collected, sold, or shared. Bible Navigator's guided reflections are generated using OpenAI's API — your question is sent there to produce your answer, and to OpenAI's safety check, and is not used by Living Devo for anything else. If a question suggests that someone may be at risk of harm, Bible Navigator and Devo on the Spot show support resources such as crisis lines alongside the answer. Nothing about that check is stored or reported by Living Devo.

Delete Your Account or Data

If you have an account, you can permanently delete it — including your journal entries, built devos, and account info — at any time from My Account inside the app. Deleting your account also cancels any active subscription automatically, so you won't be charged again.

You can also delete individual items without deleting your account: each journal entry and each built devotional has a delete button inside the app, and deleting it removes it permanently.

Don't have the app installed, or can't sign in? Email us at foundercw@livingdevo.org from the address on your account and we'll delete it for you, usually within a few days.

Deletion is permanent and can't be undone. Without an account, the free experience doesn't store anything tied to you, so there's nothing to delete.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Your account information, journal entries, and built devotionals are kept for as long as your account exists, and are permanently deleted if you delete your account (see above).

If a Living Devo+ subscription ends, your journal entries and built devotionals are kept for 90 days in case you come back. After that we email you a link to download them, and if you haven't resubscribed within 7 days of that email, they are permanently deleted. Subscribing again before then keeps everything.

Payment records are held by Stripe under its own policies; Living Devo does not store your card details.

How the App Works

Devotionals and Challenges are built directly into the app and run entirely in your browser — no server call is needed to read one or work through it.

Bible Navigator and Devo Builder+ work differently: what you type is sent to generate your response — a guided reflection to your question, or a devotional built around your topic — then returned to you (see "What Information Is Collected" above). Neither is generated locally, but nothing you type is stored afterward beyond what you choose to save yourself, like keeping a built devo in "Devos I've Built," or a journal entry if you're a Plus subscriber.

If you tap "Report this response" on an AI-generated answer, we receive that response, your question, and any note you add, by email, so we can review it. Reports are not linked to your account.

When you choose to open an external Bible website, you are leaving this app and visiting that site directly.

External Bible Resources

This app provides optional links to BibleGateway, so you can read full passages directly from Scripture references shown in Bible Navigator.

This external site operates under its own privacy policy. Living Devo DOES NOT control, collect from, monitor, or track your activity there.

Security Practices

• Data is encrypted in transit: the app and its servers communicate over secure HTTPS connections
• Strict Content Security Policy (CSP) on every page, limiting what can load or run
• NO analytics, ad tracking, or usage profiling — nothing about your activity is ever sold or shared
• Local storage is used only for on-device convenience — remembering your theme, saving a journal draft in progress, recent searches, or a usage limit — and stays on your device; it's never used to track you
• A small number of trusted resources are loaded to make the app run: Supabase (to power accounts and sync for Plus subscribers) and Google Fonts (for Journal+'s handwriting styles). Neither is used to analyze or profile you through this app

The goal is a safe, focused, and distraction-free experience.

Spiritual Use Disclaimer

Living Devo is a study and navigation tool — not a spiritual authority.

It DOES NOT replace prayer, it DOES NOT replace reading Scripture itself, and it DOES NOT replace wise pastoral guidance or real community.

Scripture remains the authority. Faith remains personal.
