Our Privacy Promise

Rebuilding Faith LLC ('Rebuilding Faith', 'we', 'our', or 'us') exists to help you engage Scripture without trading away your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices available to you under laws like the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and similar global regulations.

Using the Service means you agree to this policy. If you ever have questions or concerns, reach out—we want to make the experience safe and transparent.

Information We Collect

- Account details such as your name, email address, and authentication data provided by you or your identity provider.

- Content you create or upload—journal entries, posts, and highlights. Community sharing features are currently in private development.

- Usage diagnostics including crash reports, performance metrics, scrubbed session replays, and basic device information gathered through Sentry. These diagnostics never capture the text or media from your journal.

- Up to thirty days of activity history—chapters you read, Strong's views you open, and notes you view or edit—so you can continue seamlessly across multiple devices. We also track which features you've used to provide personalized recommendations and help you level up your Scripture engagement. This short-term log is private, secure, stays inside Rebuilding Faith, is never shared with other people or outside services, and is never sold or used for advertising.

- When you use voice dictation, your device's built-in speech recognition (provided by Apple, Google, or your browser) processes the audio. We receive only the text transcript, not the audio itself.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate, maintain, and improve the Service; personalize experiences like search, tagging, and reminders; and troubleshoot issues you report.

We may contact you about security notices, important updates, or product tips. You can opt out of non-essential messages anytime.

We never sell or rent your personal data, and we do not run advertising or behavioral tracking inside the app.

When We Share Information

We use secure third-party software to operate the Service—MongoDB Atlas for database hosting, Sentry for crash diagnostics, and similar infrastructure providers. These services are bound by contract to protect your data and use it only to provide the agreed services.

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. We may disclose data only if required by law or to respond to valid legal requests.

Third-Party AI & Machine Learning Services

We do NOT share your personal data, journal entries, or any other user content with third-party artificial intelligence services, large language models (LLMs), or machine learning platforms for training, analysis, or processing.

Your voice dictation uses only your device's built-in speech recognition (provided by Apple, Google, or your browser). We receive only the resulting text transcript—never the audio itself—and that transcript is not shared with any third-party AI service.

If we ever introduce features that would share your personal information with third-party AI services, it would be at your request and for your benefit and not ours. We will:

• Clearly disclose which data will be shared and with which third-party AI service

• Obtain your explicit, separate consent before enabling any such feature

• Explain the features and benefits of the feature and how it will be used

• Provide you with full control to opt in or opt out at any time

• Update this Privacy Policy and notify you in advance

Your data is yours, and you will always be in control. We are committed to keeping your spiritual journey private and will never silently share your personal data with AI services without your knowledge and permission.

Cookies, Local Storage & Similar Tech

We rely on cookies, secure storage, and service workers to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and enable offline experiences.

We do not use third-party advertising trackers. You can clear cookies or use private browsing, but doing so may sign you out or limit certain functionality.

Data Storage, Security & Retention

Your journals and account data are stored in MongoDB Atlas data centers located in the United States. Diagnostics data is processed in Sentry, with personal content filtered out.

All network traffic uses HTTPS/TLS. Access to production systems is restricted, audited, and protected by multi-factor authentication.

We keep your content while your account is active. If you delete entries or close your account, we remove them from active systems and purge related backups on their normal rotation (typically within 30–45 days), unless a longer period is required by law.

Your Rights & Choices

Access and manage your information anytime: export your journals, update profile details, and configure privacy preferences. To delete your account, please email support@rebuildingfaith.org.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or to object to certain processing. Contact us and we will respond within 30 days (or the timeframe required by law).

You can control analytics consent, sharing options, and notifications under Privacy Preferences in your profile.

International Users

Rebuilding Faith is operated from the United States. By using the Service, you understand that your information will be stored and processed in the U.S. and may be accessed by our trusted providers there.

Where required, we rely on safeguards such as contractual data protection clauses to support lawful cross-border transfers.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we learn that a child has provided us data without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly. Please contact us if you believe this has happened.

Changes & Contact

We'll update this policy when practices change, post the new version in the app, and update the effective date below. Significant updates may also trigger in-app or email notices.

Effective Date: November 14, 2025
