Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the Bible Lens app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices and the related web experience that were created by Bible Lens (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Freemium service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".
Information Collection and Use
The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include:
- Your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address)
- The pages and screens of the Application that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those screens
- The operating system you use on your mobile device
- Your name and email address (collected during account registration via Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, or email one-time passcode)
- Text content of the questions you submit to the AI assistant and the answers it returns
- Verses you save to your collection ("favorites"), including reference, version, and the verse text at the time of saving
- Profile preferences such as denomination, age range, and preferred Bible version
The Application does not record audio from your device, does not access your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or location, and does not gather precise information about the location of your mobile device.
The Service Provider may use the information you provided to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices, and service-related announcements.
Subscription and Payment Information
When you subscribe to our premium services, the following additional information may be collected and processed:
- Transaction data: Subscription type, purchase date, renewal date, and transaction identifiers — processed by Apple through the App Store
- Subscription status: Whether your account has an active subscription or has expired — used to provide access to premium features and to enforce the daily free-tier quota
We do not collect or store your payment card details, billing address, or other financial information. All payment processing is handled by Apple through the App Store.
AI Features and Data Processing
Bible Lens provides an AI assistant that answers questions about Scripture. To deliver this feature, your text inputs are transmitted to our backend servers (api.biblelensai.com), which in turn process your data using the following third-party AI service provider:
- OpenAI — Used to generate AI assistant responses to your questions. OpenAI Privacy Policy
The data transmitted to OpenAI consists solely of the text of your question and the conversation context required to generate a response. Your name, email address, payment information, device identifier, and other personally identifiable information are not shared with OpenAI.
OpenAI is bound by data processing terms that prohibit it from using API-submitted content to train or improve its models.
Because OpenAI's infrastructure may be located outside your country of residence, your question text may be transferred internationally. Such transfers are conducted under appropriate contractual safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Third-Party Services and SDKs
The Application uses the following third-party services that may collect data:
- Apple Sign-In — Authentication. Apple Privacy Policy
- Google Sign-In — Authentication. Google Privacy Policy
