DeclareNotes is a prayer and Bible app. What you write in it is personal, so we collect as little as we can, keep it private to you, and never sell it. This policy explains what we collect, why, who helps us run the app, and the choices you have.
If anything here is unclear, write to support@declarenotes.com.
What we collect
What you give us
- Your email address, to sign you in with a one-time code. If you choose Continue with Google instead, Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with us, and we do not see your Google password. You can also start without an account, as a guest.
- Your first name, if you share it, so your declarations can address you by name.
- Your answers in the app: the prayer areas you choose, what you are believing God for, how you feel, your season focus, life stage and church tradition if you add them, and your reminder times.
- What you create: declarations, prayer requests, words you received, check-ins, steps, journal entries, reflections and notes from your prayer sessions.
- Bible activity: verses you save and the chapters you read.
- Messages you send us when you contact support.
What is collected automatically
- A notification token for your device, if you allow reminders, so we can send them.
- Basic technical information needed to run the service, such as your device type, app version and error logs.
- Your subscription status from Apple or Google. We never see your card details.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos or microphone recordings, and we do not use advertising trackers.
How we use it
- To run the app: sign you in, save your declarations, journal and Bible activity, and sync them across your devices.
- To write your declarations: we combine reviewed scripture and approved templates with what you tell us.
- To send the reminders you choose.
- To handle your subscription and restore it on a new device.
- To keep the service safe and working, and to answer you when you contact us.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone to market to you.
AI and your words
Some declarations and guided meditations are worded with the help of an AI provider (Anthropic). When that happens we send only what is needed: your first name if you gave one, the words you wrote about what you are believing God for, how you feel, and the scripture chosen for you. We never send your email address or contact details. Under our provider's terms, this content is not used to train its models. Scripture is never written by AI: every verse comes from a library reviewed by people.
Some text is read aloud using Google Cloud Text-to-Speech. Only the words being read are sent.
Who helps us run DeclareNotes
We use trusted providers who process data only to deliver their part of the service:
- Supabase: hosting, database and sign-in.
- Google Sign-In: signing you in, if you choose Continue with Google.
- Anthropic: AI wording of declarations and meditations, as described above.
- Google Cloud Text-to-Speech: the read-aloud voice.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google): delivering reminders.
- Resend: sending sign-in codes and service emails.
- RevenueCat, Apple and Google: managing subscriptions.
- bible-api.com: when you search for a verse that is not in our library, the reference or words you typed are sent to find it.
We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of a person.
Keeping it safe
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each account can only read its own records. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will tell you if a breach affects you.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while you have an account. When you delete your account, your profile, declarations, journal, requests, saved verses, reading history and all related records are permanently deleted. Backups are cleared on a rolling cycle of up to 30 days. Some data on your device, such as your reading position, stays until you remove the app.
Your choices and rights
- Export: get a copy of everything in one tap, from Profile, Privacy & data.
- Delete: delete your account and all its data from Profile, Account.
- Correct: edit your name and preferences at any time in Profile.
- Reminders: turn them off in Profile, Reminders, or in your device settings.
Depending on where you live, including under the Nigeria Data Protection Act and the GDPR, you may also have the right to access, correct, restrict or object to how we use your data, and to complain to your data protection authority. To exercise any right, write to support@declarenotes.com.
Children
DeclareNotes is for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 18, please use it with a parent or guardian's permission. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union. Where this happens, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
