### 1. Overview
Bibliomancy ("we", "the App") is a literary reading and reflection app. You ask a question that is on your mind, the App opens a virtual book, and shows you a real quotation from a classic literary work — written by authors such as Shakespeare, Thoreau, Frost and Lao Tzu — together with its full source: book, author, year and chapter, which you can expand to read the original passage.
The App offers a starting point for reading and thinking. It is not a decision-maker and not a prediction service.
We built this App to be quiet about your data. We do not track you across other apps or websites, we do not run ads, and we do not sell your information to anyone. This policy explains, in plain language, what we collect and why.
### 2. Information We Collect
**a) Account identifier**
On first launch the App signs you in anonymously through Firebase Authentication. This creates a random identifier (an anonymous user ID) that is not linked to your name, email address, or phone number.
If you choose "Sign in with Apple" in Settings, we receive an account identifier from Apple. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email" feature, we receive a relay email address that Apple forwards to you — we never see your real email address.
**b) Content you create**
If you use these features, we store the content you create so it can sync across your devices:
- Favorites (quotations you save)
- Mood journal entries (mood tags and notes you attach to a saved quotation)
- Feedback you send us, including text, images, and voice recordings you choose to attach
Mood journal entries are private. They are not public, not shared with other users, and not visible to anyone but you.
**c) Purchase information**
If you buy a subscription or a lifetime unlock, Apple processes the payment. We receive confirmation of the purchase so we can unlock the corresponding features. We never receive or store your card number.
**d) App preferences**
Your settings — interface language, quotation language, animation and sound preferences — are stored locally on your device.
### 3. What We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect your name, address, or phone number.
- We do not collect your precise or approximate location.
- We do not collect your contacts, photos, health data, or browsing history.
- We do not use advertising SDKs, attribution SDKs, or third-party analytics SDKs.
- We do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, and we do not participate in data broker networks.
### 4. Device Permissions
The App requests permissions only for the feedback feature, and only at the moment you use it:
| Permission | When it is used | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | You attach a photo to feedback | The photo is uploaded only with that feedback message |
| Photo Library | You pick an image for feedback | The image is uploaded only with that feedback message |
| Microphone | You record a voice message for feedback | The recording is uploaded only with that feedback message |
You can deny any of these permissions and still use every other feature of the App.
### 5. Third-Party Services
We use a small number of service providers to run the App:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Authentication) | Anonymous and Apple sign-in | Account identifier |
| Google Firebase (Firestore) | Syncing favorites, journal entries, and subscription status | Content you create, account identifier |
| Google Firebase (Remote Config) | Delivering the daily quotation and feature flags | No personal data |
| Apple (StoreKit, Sign in with Apple) | Payments and sign-in | Purchase records, Apple account identifier |
These providers process data on our behalf and under contract. None of them are permitted to use your data for their own advertising purposes.
### 6. Data Storage, Retention, and Security
- Content you create is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore). All transfers use HTTPS/TLS encryption.
- Anonymous accounts that remain unused are removed after a period of inactivity, in line with Firebase's retention settings.
- Journal entries and favorites are kept until you delete them.
- Feedback attachments are retained only as long as needed to resolve your enquiry.
### 7. Your Rights
You may, at any time:
- **View or export** your favorites and journal entries from within the App.
- **Delete individual entries** — swipe or tap delete on any saved item.
- **Delete your account and all associated data** — go to **Settings → Account → Delete Account**. Deletion is permanent and removes your account identifier, favorites, journal entries, and subscription record from our servers.
- **Request a copy or deletion of your data by email** — contact us at ［support@bibliomancy.example］. We respond within 30 days.
Deleting the App from your device does not by itself delete your account. To remove server-side data, please use the in-app deletion flow.
### 8. Children's Privacy
Bibliomancy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact ［support@bibliomancy.example］.
### 9. Subscriptions and Refunds
Bibliomancy offers auto-renewable subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel a subscription in **Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions** on your device.
- Refunds are handled by Apple. To request one, visit [reportaproblem.apple.com](https://reportaproblem.apple.com).
### 10. Content Notice
All quotations in the App are drawn from public-domain literary works (generally published before 1930, or by authors deceased more than 70 years). The App is a literary reading and reflection companion, provided for inspiration and entertainment only. It is not a fortune-telling or prediction service. It does not provide medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and it makes no claims about your future.
### 11. Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where the change is material, notify you inside the App.
