Privacy Policy — Lumen Bible
Last updated: 2026-03-05
1. Overview
Lumen Bible (“Lumen”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a Bible reading and study companion designed to help you understand Scripture with tools such as AI-powered explanations, semantic search, reading plans, and study features. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using Lumen Bible, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. What Lumen Bible Does
Lumen is not just another Bible reader; it is a modern study companion designed to bridge the gap between ancient text and modern understanding. By combining a distraction-free reading experience with advanced AI technology, Lumen helps you understand the who, what, and where behind every chapter.
Key features may include:
- AI-powered expositor (historical context, theological explanation, and practical application)
- Semantic search (ask questions in plain English)
- Smart reading plans (chronological, canonical, historical)
- Cross-references and commentary-style insights
- Progress tracking and reading stats
- Distraction-free “zen” mode
- Privacy-first design principles
3. Information We Collect
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible while still making the app work well.
3.1 Information you provide
Depending on how you use the app, you may provide:
- Search queries you type (e.g., “What does the Bible say about anxiety?”)
- Verse requests or passages you ask the AI feature to explain
- Optional feedback you send to us (for example, if you contact support)
3.2 Automatically collected information (app operation)
The app may collect basic technical information to operate reliably and improve performance, such as:
- Device type and operating system version
- App version
- General app diagnostics (crash logs, performance events)
3.3 Reading activity and progress (if enabled)
If Lumen includes reading plans and progress tracking, the app may store:
- Reading plan selections
- Completed readings / progress status
- Reading streak or statistics
4. How We Use Information
We use information for the following purposes:
- To provide core features (Bible reading, search, reading plans)
- To generate AI-based study insights when you request them
- To maintain app stability (debugging, crash prevention, performance improvements)
- To improve the app experience over time
5. AI Features and Your Inputs
When you use AI-powered explanations or semantic search:
- The text you enter (queries, selected verses, or passages you request help with) is used to produce the requested output.
- AI outputs are intended as a study aid and expositor-style assistance, not as definitive doctrine or pastoral counsel.
Important note:
The AI insights in Lumen are designed to provide historical and theological context. They are not a replacement for personal prayer, the Holy Spirit, or pastoral counsel.
6. Data Storage
Depending on your version of Lumen and how it is configured:
- Some information may be stored locally on your device (for example, reading plan progress).
- Some information may be processed to provide AI responses when you request them.
7. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information only in these cases:
- Service providers: If Lumen uses third-party services to power features (such as AI processing, crash reporting, or analytics), only the minimum necessary data is shared to operate those services.
- Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or valid legal process.
- Safety and security: To prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
8. Third-Party Services
Lumen may use third-party services for app functionality (for example, AI processing or diagnostics). These services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the policies of any third-party services referenced inside the app.
9. Your Choices and Controls
You may have controls such as:
- Choosing whether to use AI features (and therefore whether to send queries for AI processing)
- Clearing app data on your device (depending on your device settings)
- Uninstalling the app to remove local data stored on your device
10. Children’s Privacy
Lumen Bible is intended for a general audience. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us so we can address the issue.
11. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we design Lumen with privacy-first principles and minimal data collection.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Continued use of Lumen after changes means you accept the updated policy.
