Wolf Designs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you use the Bible Growth mobile application (the “App”), how that information is used, and what choices you have.
If you have questions, contact us at support@wolfyapps.com.
1. Summary
- The App is designed to work primarily on your device. Your Bible reading progress, notes, highlights, bookmarks, and settings are stored locally on your iPhone or iPad.
- We do not operate our own servers to store your reading activity, notes, or highlights.
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs (such as Firebase, Facebook SDK, or similar tracking tools) in the App.
- Optional iCloud sync uses Apple’s services under your Apple ID and iCloud settings.
- Optional notifications are scheduled on your device; we do not send push messages from our servers.
2. Information the App Stores on Your Device
When you use the App, information may be stored locally (and optionally in iCloud) to provide core features, including:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Display name (optional), UI language, Bible text language | Personalize the App |
| Reading progress | Chapters/verses marked read, last-read position, streaks, badges | Track your Bible journey |
| Reading plans | Goal name, start/end dates, schedule, completed plan days | Reading plan features |
| User-created content | Chapter notes, verse highlights (including colors), bookmarks, tags | Your study tools |
| Preferences | Theme, font, verse number display, auto-mark settings, reminder time | App settings |
| App state | Onboarding completion, notification preferences | App functionality |
Bible text (Scripture) is bundled in the App or loaded from files on your device. We do not upload the Bible text you read to Wolf Designs servers.
3. Information You Choose to Share
Support email: If you email support@wolfyapps.com, we receive whatever you include (e.g., your email address, message content, device details you choose to send). We use this only to respond and improve support.
Share sheet: If you share a verse or image using iOS Share, Apple and the app you share to handle that data under their own policies. We do not receive a copy unless you send it to us directly.
Export / import backup: You may export or import a backup file (e.g., JSON) via the system file picker or share sheet. You control where that file is saved (Files, iCloud Drive, email, etc.). We do not automatically upload backups to our servers.
4. iCloud, Widgets, and App Groups
If you are signed in to iCloud on your device and iCloud is available for the App:
- Your profile and related data may sync using Apple iCloud Key-Value Store and/or iCloud Documents, so the same data can appear on your other devices signed in with the same Apple ID.
- Sync is handled by Apple, not stored on Wolf Designs servers.
- The App may also use an App Group shared container so Home Screen widgets can show reading-related information (e.g., today’s reading summary) based on data already on your device.
You can manage iCloud for the App in Settings → [your name] → iCloud on your device.
5. Notifications
If you enable reminders in the App or in iOS Settings, the App schedules local notifications on your device (for example, daily reading reminders or streak reminders).
- We do not need your email or phone number for these reminders.
- You can turn them off anytime in the App or in Settings → Notifications → Bible Growth.
6. Network Use
Most features work offline. The App may use the internet only in limited cases, for example:
- Opening links you choose (Privacy Policy, email support, App Store pages for our other apps under “More Apps”).
- Loading app icons from Apple’s App Store CDN when you view the More Apps screen.
- Routine Bible reading, notes, highlights, and progress do not require an internet connection.
7. Bible Translations and Third-Party Content
The App includes multiple Bible translations. Copyright and publisher information for bundled translations is shown in the App under Settings → Bible Translations.
Those translations are licensed or used according to their respective publishers’ terms. Wolf Designs does not claim ownership of Scripture text. Use of a translation remains subject to the applicable copyright and license.
8. Other Apps by Wolf Designs
The App may show links to other applications we publish on the App Store. Tapping a link opens Apple’s App Store (or the App Store website). Apple’s privacy policy applies to those interactions.
9. What We Do Not Collect
We do not:
- Require an account or login with Wolf Designs
- Collect payment information in the App (purchases, if any, are processed by Apple)
- Sell or rent your personal information
- Use third-party advertising networks in the App
- Run our own analytics platform to track your reading habits on our servers
Apple may collect limited technical or diagnostic information as described in Apple’s Privacy Policy, including data related to App Store downloads, device security, or crash reports if you opt in to share analytics with Apple. That collection is between you and Apple, not Wolf Designs.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
- Data on your device remains until you delete it in the App, reset your profile, export then delete, or uninstall the App.
- Data in iCloud may remain until you remove it from iCloud or delete the App’s data from iCloud settings.
- Email you send to support is kept only as long as needed for support and legal compliance.
11. Security
We use reasonable measures to design the App so your data stays on your device or in your iCloud account. No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for securing your device and Apple ID.
12. Children’s Privacy
The App is suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the App. If you believe a child has provided us personal information (for example, via email), contact support@wolfyapps.com and we will delete it.
13. International Users
If you use the App outside the United States, your information may be processed on your device and, if you use iCloud, by Apple in accordance with your region and Apple’s terms. Contact us if you have questions about your rights under local law (for example, access or deletion requests where applicable).
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy with a new Effective date / Last updated date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
