Verse Ready Privacy Policy

Operator and contact

XAOC Industries Inc. is the responsible operator for Verse Ready. This policy describes the Verse Ready iPhone app, support correspondence, and beta feedback.

Offline reading and app data flows

Verse Ready requires no account. Bible reading and search use KJV, ASV, WEB, and MSB content bundled with the app and work without a network connection. The app has no app-owned server. The verified app review identified no app-controlled upload path or analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. This does not mean that Apple system services, TestFlight, email services, or destinations you choose never use a network or process information.

Local storage and device protection

Reflections, Favorites, the chapter Bookmark, reading position, and recent searches are stored locally. CloudKit synchronization is disabled. The personal-content database uses iOS file protection and is configured to be excluded from backup. Local app preferences have a different backup boundary and may be included in system-managed device backups. Device security and operating-system behavior still matter; we do not promise perfect protection or secure overwrite of storage.

Cumulative reading time

Prismatic Pearl becomes available after ten cumulative hours of active Bible reading. For this feature, the app stores a duration and unlock state in local preferences, without passage, reading-date, or session history. This is separate from ordinary reading-position and recent-search information. Counting pauses outside active Bible reading and after three minutes without interaction, stops at ten hours, and never automatically selects an icon. Eligibility remains until Delete All Personal Data or a relevant app-data reset; the selected icon does not change on that reset. These values are not sent to an app-owned service.

Reflections and Private Dictation

Typed and transcribed text stays in the editor draft until you choose Save. Stop Dictation keeps the words in the draft. Cancel Dictation restores the text from before that dictation session. Discarding the editor does not save its draft.

Private Dictation processes audio in memory using Apple’s on-device Speech framework. Verse Ready does not create an audio library, store raw audio, or upload it to an app-owned service.

After explicit approval, iOS may download and manage speech assets. The verified app-controlled download path does not attach your recording or transcript to the speech-asset request. Apple manages the download and its internal system processing; our app review does not establish everything Apple’s services may process or retain. Availability and offline dictation depend on supported languages and installed assets.

Exports, sharing, and temporary copies

Markdown export starts only when you choose it. The system exporter gives the document to the destination or file provider you select. If you share it, the recipient receives a separate copy. The destination, recipient, or provider controls that copy.

New managed exports use protected temporary staging copies. The app removes its owned staging copy after export completion or cancellation and presentation dismissal, with later cleanup retries for interrupted owned sessions. Protection or input/output failures can delay cleanup. Unknown temporary export files from older app versions are not automatically removed when ownership cannot be established. Historical export-file retention remains unresolved.

Deleting a Reflection or managed staging file does not delete exports you saved elsewhere, recipient copies, or provider backups. We do not promise forensic erasure.

Retention and local deletion

Saved personal content remains in the app until you delete it or remove its app data. Settings → Privacy → Delete All Personal Data removes local personal records and reading-time eligibility state; it does not change the selected icon. Clear Search History removes only recent search phrases. An individual Reflection can be deleted separately.

Offloading an app can preserve its data and differs from deleting the app and its data. The protected personal-content store is not designed to restore automatically after app removal or device replacement; export anything you wish to keep. Preferences, saved exports, earlier copies, and independently managed backups have different retention boundaries. Local deletion does not retract support email or TestFlight submissions. A support request cannot remotely erase Reflections on your iPhone.

Support and beta feedback

Email versereadybibleapp@gmail.com for support or privacy questions. Gmail handles this correspondence. We receive the sender details, message, mail headers, and attachments you provide, and use them to respond and investigate problems. Please send only what is needed: use invented Reflection text and remove private content from screenshots. Avoid sending a Reflection library or raw audio when a short description is sufficient.

When you use a TestFlight beta, Apple automatically collects crash logs and usage information and shares it with the developer; this collection cannot be opted out of within TestFlight. Feedback you choose to submit can include comments and screenshots. Information available to us can include build and device context and, depending on how you were invited or submitted feedback, contact details. We access it through Apple’s developer systems and authorized developer clients, including Helm, to investigate problems and improve the app. These off-device flows are separate from local app storage.

Developer-controlled retention

Our approved retention limits for records under our control are:

• Support correspondence: the earlier of 90 days after closure or 180 days after last substantive contact.
• Emailed or downloaded screenshots, attachments, and raw diagnostics: 30 days from first receipt or download, as applicable. A documented active investigation may extend this to at most 90 days total.
• Developer-controlled TestFlight feedback: the earlier of 90 days after submission or 30 days after resolution, where deletion controls permit.
• Minimal deletion-request receipts: 90 days after completion, without original messages, attachments, or raw diagnostics.

Copies retain their original applicable deadline, and the shortest limit applies. Copying, forwarding, or downloading a record again does not restart its retention period. Substantive contact means relevant case progress exchanged with you; automated acknowledgments and internal status changes do not extend retention. Any specific legally required retention is limited and reviewed.

These limits require manual review; they are not enforced by automatic in-app deletion. The schedule has been adopted, but the initial historical backlog disposition remains pending. Some existing feedback is older than the approved limits and remains preserved pending that decision. Adoption does not mean historical cleanup, recurring reviews, or a completed deletion request have been demonstrated. Full client-cache and backup-copy deletion coverage has not yet been verified.

Privacy deletion requests

Email versereadybibleapp@gmail.com, preferably with the subject Privacy deletion request, identifying the kinds of records and approximate dates if known. Use the original sender address where possible. A clear request is considered even with another subject. We may ask for limited information to match records; do not send passwords or identity documents by default.

We aim to acknowledge requests within seven calendar days of receipt and complete verified requests within 30 calendar days of receipt, subject to applicable law and provider capabilities. We explain unmatched records, delays, and specific information we must retain. Ending beta participation is separate from deleting an individual feedback item.

We can manage matching records and copies under our control, including available individual feedback deletion controls. Apple and Google independently control service records, deletion propagation, and backups. We cannot promise immediate or complete removal from those systems, other recipients’ files, or copies you saved elsewhere.

Apple and Google retention limits

Apple’s TestFlight privacy information states that Apple retains beta feedback for one year and may retain crash logs and usage data until bugs are resolved. Our shorter developer-controlled schedule does not change Apple’s service retention. Deleting an item through a developer-visible control does not establish that all underlying Apple records or backups have been erased.

Google’s retention information explains its separate deletion processes and backup handling. Removing records under our control does not prove immediate removal from all Google systems or independently held copies.
