The Bible in Review
Welcome to The Bible in Review—a modest initiative dedicated to consolidating scripture and study resources into a practical format. Our application currently utilizes public domain translations and commentaries; however, we intend to expand our offerings. Content owners interested in partnering with us are invited to contact us at thebibleinreview@gmail.com. Although we are presently unable to issue compensation or accept donations, we greatly appreciate your prayers.
Effective date: November 1, 2026
The Bible in Review is designed to keep your Bible reading and study information on your device. This policy explains how the app handles information and what happens when you use optional features or contact the developer.
The app stores information locally to provide its features, including:
Notes, highlights, bookmarks, and handwritten annotations.
Reading positions, open tabs, saved workspaces, and settings.
Scripture memorization passages, review history, completion status, and active study time.
Trivia answers and progress.
Bible translations and study materials you import or download.
The app does not require an account. It does not automatically send your reading history, notes, handwriting, or other personal study information to the developer.
The app does not include advertising, advertising trackers, or third-party analytics SDKs. We do not sell or rent your personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
On supported devices, the study assistant uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models to process your questions and relevant Scripture and study resources.
The app does not send these questions or resources to a developer-operated server or third-party AI service. Personal notes and handwriting are not supplied to the assistant, and the app does not use your conversations to train AI models.
Conversations are held temporarily in memory rather than saved as a permanent chat history. People biographies and other bundled study materials are stored in the app and do not require an AI request when opened.
Apple manages model availability, downloads, and system services under its own policies and your device settings.
The app and its widgets use a shared storage area on your device for features such as Continue Reading and Daily Bible Trivia.
Sharing saved or highlighted verses with widgets is optional and can be controlled in Settings. Personal notes and handwriting are not included in widget data.
Widgets may display passages or progress on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. You can remove a widget or adjust your device settings if you do not want that information visible there.
If you use Shortcuts or other system integrations, information you choose to pass through those features is also handled according to the settings and policies of the services involved.
Most reading and study features work offline.
If you choose to download a translation from a web address, the app connects to that source. The source’s operator may receive technical information such as your IP address and the requested download address.
Opening an external source, licensing, support, or other website link is subject to that website’s privacy practices. The app does not automatically attach your personal study information or AI questions to these requests.
Sharing or exporting sends the content you select to the destination you choose. Files, email, cloud storage, and other sharing services may process or retain that content under their own privacy policies.
Daily trivia reminders are optional local notifications scheduled on your device. The app does not use a developer-operated push-notification server.
You can disable reminders in the app’s Settings or change notification permissions in your device’s Settings.
The app does not provide automatic cloud synchronization.
Your operating system may include app information in device backups, including iCloud backups, depending on your settings. Backups and exports that you save to a cloud storage provider are handled by that provider.
Study backups can contain personal notes, handwriting, and other study information. Choose carefully where you store or share them.
If you email thebibleinreview@gmail.com, the developer receives your email address, your message, and any attachments or other information you choose to provide.
This information is used to respond to questions, investigate problems, review accuracy concerns, consider feature requests or partnerships, and manage related correspondence. Email is processed and stored through the developer’s email provider, Gmail.
Contacting the developer is optional. Please include only information relevant to your request.
Correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address the matter, maintain relevant support records, and meet applicable legal obligations. You may request deletion by emailing the address above. Some information may need to be retained where legally required.
Local study information remains on your device until you remove it using available app controls or delete the app and its associated data.
Offloading the app generally preserves its documents and data. Deleting the app removes its normal local storage, while the operating system controls the handling of shared containers and device backups.
Deleting information in the app does not automatically remove copies from exported files, recovery backups, emails, or device backups. Those copies must be managed separately through Files, your backup provider, or the relevant service.
The developer cannot access or delete study information that exists only on your device. There is no developer-hosted account or reading-history database.
Depending on your location, you may have rights concerning personal information held by the developer, including access, correction, or deletion. Send requests to thebibleinreview@gmail.com.
The app does not include a developer-operated analytics or automatic diagnostic-upload service. Local diagnostic messages used by the study assistant record error categories rather than your questions or answers.
Apple may separately process App Store information, crash reports, or device diagnostics according to its privacy policies and your settings.
The app does not require children or other users to submit personal information to read or study Scripture.
If you believe a child has sent personal information to the developer through email or another direct communication, contact thebibleinreview@gmail.com so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
This policy may be updated when the app’s features or privacy practices change. The revised policy will include an updated effective date. Additional notice or consent will be provided when required by applicable law.
