Personal by design.
The iPhone and iPad app has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, or remote AI services. Your reading activity, searches, notes, and highlights are not sent to us.
About this policy
This policy covers the Scriptura AI iPhone and iPad app, this website, and information you choose to share when contacting Scriptura support. The app is currently in development. The practices below describe version 1.
Scriptura AI is provided by Pawlicki Designs LLC. For privacy questions or requests, email devteam@pawlickidesigns.com.
What stays on your device
Bible text and search indexes are bundled with the app. Your bookmarks, highlights, personal notes, preferences, reading position, reading history, and search history are stored locally. They make it possible to resume reading, find passages, and maintain your personal library.
The app stores your library in a protected file and excludes that file from automatic backup. There is no Scriptura account, developer-operated storage service, or automatic cloud synchronization. We cannot access or recover your local library.
Summaries, audio, and widgets
Version 1 uses prepared AI-authored draft summaries bundled with the app. It does not generate live answers, send your reading to an AI provider, or use older generated explanation caches. You can turn off prepared summaries and clear older explanation caches in Settings. Bundled summaries remain part of the app.
Audio uses system text-to-speech with available device voices. Additional voice downloads and system services are controlled by Apple and your device settings.
The Continue Reading widget receives your last Scripture reference, and the Saved Verse widget receives the passage you select. This information is shared locally with the widgets; personal notes are never included. Widget content is marked privacy-sensitive, and your system settings control its lock-screen visibility.
When you choose to share
Export and Share run only when you choose them. A destination in Files or the share sheet may be another app or a cloud service with its own privacy practices. Exported JSON files are not encrypted by Scriptura and can be read by anyone with access to the file. Choose a destination you trust.
External source links open in your browser when you tap them. Those websites receive ordinary web connection information and handle it under their own privacy policies. Scriptura does not automatically send them your notes or library.
We do not sell your personal information or share your app reading activity for advertising. System diagnostics and backups outside the app are controlled by your device settings. The native app includes no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
Keeping, exporting, and deleting your data
Your personal library stays on your device until you remove it. In Settings → Your library, choose Export personal data to save a copy, or Import personal data to bring a previously exported file into the app.
Choose Remove locally saved data in that same section to remove bookmarks, highlights, notes, and history and reset preferences. This cannot be undone, so export first if you want to keep a copy. You can also clear search history in Search and clear explanation caches in Settings.
Deleting local data does not delete files you previously exported or shared. Manage those copies in the destination app or service. Removing the app may remove your library; because there is no automatic cloud sync, keep an export before reinstalling or changing devices.
This website and support inquiries
This website is separate from your local app library. Hosting and delivery services may process routine connection information, such as IP addresses and browser details, along with technical error reports to operate and protect the website. Website error reports may include a page path and error details. These services do not receive your in-app reading activity or personal library through this website.
The interactive reading preview on the home page uses temporary browser state. Its highlight and save controls do not create a real library entry or send that selection to Scriptura.
If you contact support, we receive the email address, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use that information to respond and resolve your request, and keep it only as long as needed for that purpose or to meet legal obligations. Our email service processes those messages to deliver and store the correspondence. Please avoid sending private notes or a full library export unless needed for your request.
You can contact support to ask about, access, correct, or request deletion of information you sent us. Your rights may vary by where you live. We cannot view or delete the library on your device remotely; use the controls described above.
Questions and changes
We will update this page when our privacy practices change and revise the date above. If you have a privacy question or a request about information you shared with us, email devteam@pawlickidesigns.com or visit our support page.
