Bible Mentor AI LLC ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and honoring the sacred nature of your faith journey. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the Bible Mentor AI app ("the App").

1. Purpose of Data Collection

We collect personal data solely to support your spiritual growth, track your devotional progress, and deliver a personalized faith-based experience. Your reflections, verse highlights, prayer notes, and spiritual milestones are stored securely to help guide your walk with Christ—not for marketing or behavioral profiling.

2. What Data We Collect

  • Reflections and journal entries
  • Devotional progress and track selections
  • Verse highlights, notes, and tags

3. How We Use Your Data

  • Deliver personalized devotional content
  • Remember and track your spiritual progress
  • Enable reminders and content suggestions

4. AI Interactions

Bible Mentor AI uses artificial intelligence to guide study, offer mentorship prompts, and generate devotionals. Interactions are processed by OpenAI, but long-term user data is not stored by OpenAI. All reflections and memory are stored only in our secure Firebase Firestore database, linked to your user ID.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored using Google Firebase and Firestore, both of which meet industry-standard encryption protocols. Access is protected by Firebase Authentication. Only you (and optionally our support team, with permission) can access your data.

6. Third-Party Services

We use trusted services, including:

  • Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Hosting)
  • Formspree (for contact form submission)
  • GitHub (for devotional content hosting)

These services do not sell or retain ownership of your data. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.

7. User Controls and Rights

  • Edit, tag, or delete reflections
  • Highlight or remove verse notes
  • Request a data export or account deletion
  • Manage reminder and notification preferences

These tools are available through the "My Journey" section of the App. You're always in control.

8. Children's Privacy

Bible Mentor AI is not intended for children under 13. All accounts must be created by adults. If your family uses the App together, we recommend doing so with parental guidance. We comply with COPPA and related protections.

9. Your Rights (GDPR & California Residents)

  • Request access, correction, or deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Request a copy of your personal information

To make a request, email us at support@biblementorai.org.

10. Policy Updates

We may revise this Privacy Policy as the App evolves. We will post all changes in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
