Privacy Policy

Highlights, notes, bookmarks, reading progress, and your reader theme choice live in a local database (SQLite) on your phone. The entire app works offline. If you never sign in, none of this data ever leaves your device.

When you create an account, the same notes, highlights, bookmarks, reading progress, and your Ask AI conversations mirror to a Supabase database tied to your email address. This is what lets you open the app on a new device and pick up where you left off. Row-level security rules in our database mean only your own rows are visible to your account.

If you choose to sign in with Google, we use Google's OAuth flow (via Supabase Auth) to request the following information from your Google account:

• Your email address (email scope)
• Your basic profile (profile scope) — name and profile picture, used to personalize the app
• An OpenID Connect identifier (openid scope) — used by Supabase to uniquely identify your account

We do not request access to your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service. We do not store your Google password. Google's own privacy policy applies to data handled on their side and is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

IMS Daily's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Questions you send to the Ask AI assistant are forwarded to DeepSeek through a server-side function we control, along with the prior turns in that same conversation so the assistant can answer with context. The conversation is stored under your account so you can revisit it later. We do not use your conversations to train any AI model.

If you opt in to push notifications, we store a device push token in our database so we can notify you when an IMS live broadcast begins. We use Expo's push service to deliver these notifications. You can revoke notification permission at any time from your phone's system settings.

To find and fix problems, we use Sentry, a crash- and error-reporting service. When the app crashes or hits an error, Sentry collects a diagnostic report — the error and its stack trace, along with basic device and operating-system information (such as device model and OS version). These reports are used only to diagnose and fix bugs; they are never used for advertising or to track you across other apps. Sentry processes this data on our behalf as a service provider.

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone audio, or behavioral analytics. We do not sell or share your data with advertisers. The devotional content the app ships with is the same for everyone.

Account data is kept for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account (see below), all rows tied to your account are removed from our live database right away and purged from our encrypted backups within 30 days.

You can sign out from the Profile screen at any time — that severs the link to your account on that device. To permanently delete your account and everything tied to it (notes, highlights, bookmarks, reading progress, and Ask AI conversations), open the app and go to Profile → Account → Delete account. After you confirm, your account and its data are removed from our servers right away and you are signed out. The same email is free to sign up again afterwards as a fresh, empty account.

Full step-by-step instructions, including an email fallback, are on our account deletion page. If you prefer, you can also email privacy@imsdaily.com from the email address tied to your account, and we will process the deletion within a few business days.

IMS Daily is suitable for general audiences, but the account system is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify signed-in users in the app.
