Privacy Policy

At Verses Wisdom, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our website as well as our official Verses Wisdom Mobile Application.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you subscribe to our newsletter, get daily updates, or create an account, we collect your name and email address.
• Mobile App & Device Identifiers: When using our mobile application, we may collect anonymous device-specific metadata (such as device model, OS version, and network IP addresses). This is strictly used for security, API rate-limiting, and ensuring correct wallpaper "Like" counting.
• Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with our website and app, including API endpoints requested, pages visited, and time spent.
• Cookies & Cache: We use cookies on the web and local secure storage on mobile devices to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and speed up load times.

Mobile Application & REST API Policy

Our mobile application connects to the secure Verses Wisdom REST API to fetch Bible verses, featured categories, and wallpapers. To ensure compliance with Google Play Store and Apple App Store guidelines:

• Local Offline Storage: Verses and Wallpapers added to your "Favorites" list are saved directly on your local device (using high-performance secure offline storage). This data stays private to your device and is not synchronized to our servers unless you explicitly sign into an account.
• Media & Gallery Permissions: When you choose to download high-resolution wallpapers, the app requests permission to save images to your device's photo gallery. You can grant or revoke this permission at any time through your mobile device system settings.
• No Ad-Tracking or Background Services: The mobile app does not track your location, run hidden background services, or access other sensitive data on your mobile device.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our daily devotional services and API.
• Send you daily verse notifications, bookmarks, and newsletter updates.
• Analyze app and web traffic patterns to optimize layout performance.
• Prevent abusive bot behaviors, duplicates, and server spam (e.g., rate-limiting likes).
• Comply with standard legal obligations.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. We use industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) for data transmission and store your information on secure servers. While we strive to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for:

• Analytics: To understand how our services are used (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics).
• Email Services: To deliver newsletters and updates (e.g., Mailchimp or standard SMTP delivery).

These third parties have their own privacy policies and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

Your Rights

You have the full right to:

• Access & Copy: Request a complete export of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or outdated personal details.
• Deletion: Request permanent deletion of your account and personal data from our servers.
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time via the link in the footer.

To exercise these rights, please contact us anytime at privacy@verseswisdom.com.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.
