Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

Renewed Love ("we," "our," or "the app") is a Scripture memorization and spiritual formation tool. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

Email address — used for authentication and account recovery
Display name — shown within the app (optional)

If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or other data.

App Data

As you use the app, we store:

Session data — memorization attempts, accuracy scores, reflections, intentions, and prayers you write during sessions
Progress data — which verses you've started, your memorization stage, daily completion logs, and achievement badges
Preferences — your chosen Bible translation, session times, theme, and notification settings
Timezone — detected automatically to schedule notifications at the correct local time

Push Notification Tokens

If you enable notifications, we store a device-specific push token (web push endpoint or native device token) to send you session reminders. These tokens are stored securely and deleted when you disable notifications or uninstall the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data solely to provide and improve the app:

Authenticate your account and sync your progress across devices
Track your memorization journey and calculate streaks and statistics
Send session reminders at your chosen times (if enabled)
Store your reflections, intentions, and prayers for your personal journal

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We do not display ads.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), hosted in the United States. Firebase provides encryption at rest and in transit. Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication with industry-standard security practices.

Your reflections, prayers, and journal entries are private to your account. No other users can see your data.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Google Firebase — authentication, data storage, cloud functions, and hosting
Google Cloud Tasks — scheduling push notification delivery
Web Push (VAPID) — delivering browser push notifications
Apple Push Notification service (APNs) / Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) — delivering mobile push notifications

These services have their own privacy policies. We do not send your personal content (reflections, prayers) to any third party.

5. Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. Session logs are kept indefinitely so you can review your full memorization history and journal entries.

If you delete your account, all associated data (profile, sessions, progress, push subscriptions) will be permanently deleted.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access your data — your progress, sessions, and journal are visible within the app
Correct your data — you can update your display name and preferences in Settings
Delete your data — contact us to request full account deletion
Disable notifications — toggle off in Settings at any time; push tokens are removed immediately

7. Children's Privacy

Renewed Love is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy or want to request data deletion, please contact us through the app's Settings page.
