Thank you for using Hashtag Study Bible. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, and how users or parents/guardians may contact us about privacy questions or data requests.

Information We Collect

Hashtag Study Bible collects limited information needed to operate the app, sync user study activity, provide subscriptions, and improve reliability.

This may include:

Account information, such as email address, display name, account ID, and sign-in method.
User content and study data, such as bookmarks, notes, highlights, reading progress, reading plan progress, preferences, saved settings, and AI study history if those features are used.
AI study requests, such as Bible questions, selected verses, Scripture context, and related study prompts submitted through AI-assisted features.
Subscription and entitlement information, such as subscription status, product tier, purchase entitlement, renewal status, and AI credit balance. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers.
Device, diagnostics, and usage information, such as app version, device type, crash reports, performance data, and general feature usage used to improve app reliability.
Support information, such as messages or details provided when a user contacts us for help.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for third-party advertising or tracking across other companies' apps or websites.

We use collected information to:

Provide and operate the app.
Create and manage user accounts.
Save and sync bookmarks, notes, highlights, reading progress, reading plans, preferences, and study history.
Provide Bible study tools, audio features, AI-assisted study features, and subscription access.

Bible Study and AI Features

Hashtag Study Bible may include Scripture search, Bible reading plans, notes, highlights, bookmarks, lexicons, commentary-style study tools, audio features, and AI-assisted Bible study features.

AI-assisted tools are provided for Bible study help only. AI responses should be reviewed carefully and should not replace personal Bible study, prayer, pastoral guidance, or careful review of Scripture.

When a user submits a question or uses AI study features, the question, selected Scripture context, and related study information may be processed by third-party AI services to generate a response. Users should not submit sensitive personal information through AI prompts.

Third-Party Services

Hashtag Study Bible may use trusted third-party service providers to operate the app. These services may support:

App hosting and backend services.
Database storage and account syncing.
Authentication or sign-in.
AI processing.
Audio or Bible content delivery.
Crash reporting, diagnostics, or analytics.
Subscription entitlement management.
App store purchases and subscriptions.

These service providers may process limited information only as needed to provide their services and according to their own privacy practices.

Payments and Subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription or in-app purchase, payment is handled by the applicable app store or payment provider. We do not directly collect or store full credit card numbers or payment card details.

We may receive limited subscription-related information, such as whether a subscription is active, the product purchased, entitlement status, renewal status, and related account identifiers needed to unlock paid features.

Children and Families

Hashtag Study Bible is a general-audience Bible study app that may be used by families. The app is not specifically directed to children under 13.

Children should use account, subscription, and AI-assisted features only with permission and supervision from a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate parental consent.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information that should be reviewed or deleted, please contact us at:

[email protected]

We will review the request and take reasonable steps to delete the information when required.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We may share limited information only when necessary to:

Operate the app through service providers.
Process subscriptions or app store purchases.
Provide AI-assisted study responses.
Store and sync user study data.
Respond to support requests.
Protect the security and integrity of the app.
Comply with legal obligations.

We do not share user information with third parties for targeted advertising.

Data Retention

We keep user information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the app, maintain user accounts, support subscriptions, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security.

User-created study data, such as notes, bookmarks, highlights, reading progress, and preferences, may remain stored until the user deletes it or requests account deletion.

Account Deletion and Data Requests

Users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information by contacting:

[email protected]

If account deletion is available inside the app, users may also delete their account through the app settings or account page.

After a deletion request, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize account information and user study data, unless we are required to keep certain information for legal, security, fraud prevention, billing, or recordkeeping purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect information used by the app. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

Users may choose not to create an account, though some syncing, AI, subscription, or personalized features may require sign-in.

Users may delete notes, bookmarks, highlights, or other saved content where those controls are available.

Users may contact us to request account deletion or ask privacy questions.

Users may manage subscriptions through the applicable app store account settings.
