Privacy Policy

• Account information - your name, email address, and (if you use Google Sign-In) your Google account ID and profile photo.
• Search queries - the text of each verse identification you perform, stored so we can show your search history and calculate your streak.
• Saved verses - the verse references you save to your library.
• Settings and preferences - your chosen Bible version, interface language, theme (light/dark/system), notification preferences, and notification schedule.
• Profile photo - if you upload one, stored securely on our servers and never shared with third parties.
• Payment reference - if you subscribe to Pro, we store the Paystack transaction reference and your subscription status. We never see or store your card number — all card data is handled entirely by Paystack.

We use Google Analytics to understand how VerseID is used — which pages and features get traffic, roughly where users are visiting from, and general device/browser information. This is aggregate usage data; it is not linked to your search history, saved verses, or the content of anything you look up.

We ask first. Analytics stays off until you accept it via the consent banner shown on your first visit, and nothing is loaded or stored before then. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy → Analytics in the app, or by clearing your browser's site data for verseid.top to be asked again.

• To identify Bible verses from your queries and return results.
• To maintain your search history, saved verses, and reading streak.
• To send you the daily verse notification (if you've enabled it) — delivered as both a push notification and an email at your chosen time, so you don't miss it if one channel is unavailable.
• To send account-related emails: a welcome email when you sign up, and password reset codes when requested.
• To manage your Pro subscription and enforce free-tier search limits.
• We never sell your data. We never show you ads.

• Google Identity Services — for optional Google Sign-In. If you use this, Google's privacy policy applies to the sign-in step.
• Paystack - for Pro subscription payments. Paystack is PCI-DSS compliant and handles all card data. Their privacy policy is at paystack.com/privacy.
• DiceBear — generates a default avatar image from your name if you don't have a Google profile photo and haven't uploaded one. No personal data is shared - only an anonymous seed word.
• Hugging Face - powers AI-based semantic verse matching. Your search query text may be sent to Hugging Face's inference API to generate a numeric representation of its meaning, used only to find candidate verses. No account information accompanies this request. Their privacy policy is at huggingface.co/privacy.
• Google Cloud Translation API - translates the app's interface text if you select a language other than English. Only fixed interface strings are translated, never your personal data or search queries.
• Google Analytics - usage analytics, loaded only if you accept the consent banner. See "Cookies & analytics" above. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
