Anchored in God

Privacy Policy

Effective June 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information the Anchored in God mobile app ("we", "us", "our", or "the App") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We built the App to be as data-minimal as possible: no passwords, no advertising trackers, no data sold to third parties.

1. Information we collect

The only personal information we collect is the information you give us directly:

• Your email address — used as your identity inside the App. We do not collect passwords; your email is how we recognise you and restore your saved content across devices.
• Journal entries and gratitude notes — the private reflections you write inside the App. These are stored on our servers so they follow you across devices, but they are never shared, published, or used to train any AI model.
• Saved favorites and streak history — the quotes and devotionals you've marked as favorites, plus the days you've journaled, so we can maintain your streak counter.
• AI wallpaper prompts and generated images — the text prompts you enter into the AI Wallpaper Studio and the images produced from them. Prompts are moderated for safety before generation.
• Subscription status — whether you are on a free trial, Basic, or Premium plan. Payments themselves are processed by Apple (In-App Purchase, via RevenueCat) on iOS and by Stripe on Android and the web. We never see your card number, expiry, or CVV.

2. What we do NOT collect

• We do not collect passwords, dates of birth, phone numbers, government IDs, or precise location.
• We do not use advertising SDKs and do not track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

3. How we use your information

• To deliver the daily quote, devotional, and Premium features you signed up for.
• To save your journal entries, favorites, and streaks so they are available across your devices.
• To honour your trial period and manage your subscription entitlement.
• To generate the AI wallpapers you request and to moderate prompts for safety.
• To respond when you email us with a question or bug report.

4. Third-party services we rely on

A small number of trusted service providers help us run the App. Each one processes only the data it needs and is bound by its own privacy commitments:

• Apple In-App Purchase (via RevenueCat) — processes iOS subscription payments and receipts.
• Stripe — processes Android and web subscription payments.
• OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google (via the Emergent integration layer) — generate the text of the daily devotionals and reflections, and moderate content.
• Google Gemini (Nano Banana) — generates the AI wallpaper images from your prompts.
• MongoDB Atlas — stores your app data in encrypted form.
• Resend — sends the occasional transactional email (e.g. account deletion confirmation).

5. How long we keep your information

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account inside the App (Settings → Delete My Account), we erase all server-side data associated with your email address within 30 days. Backups roll off within 90 days.

6. Your rights and choices

• Access & export — you can view your journal, favorites, and streak history at any time inside the App. Email us to request an export in machine-readable form.
• Deletion — Settings → Delete My Account, or email us. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
• Corrections — email us and we'll fix any incorrect information.
• Cancel a subscription — subscriptions can be cancelled at any time from your Apple ID account settings (iOS) or from Settings → Manage Subscription (Android/web).

7. Children's privacy

Anchored in God is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, email us and we will delete it.

8. Security

Data is transmitted between the app and our servers over TLS. Journal entries and other personal content are stored in an access-controlled database. No system is perfectly secure — if you notice a security concern, please email us right away.

9. International users

Our servers are located in the United States. By using the App, you consent to your information being processed in the United States, which may have different privacy laws than your country.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Meaningful changes will be announced inside the App or via email; the "Effective" date at the top of this page will always show when the most recent change was made.
