📖 About the Bible App

Bible is a mobile application developed by AzyroApp that allows you to read, study, and share the Word of God. The app includes multiple Bible versions in various languages, reading tools such as favorites, pins, reading progress tracking, and advanced verse search capabilities.

Bible is designed to function as a standalone tool on your device. It does not require an account, does not connect to external servers for its core functionality, and does not collect personal information.

💾 Data Stored on Your Device

The following data is created and stored exclusively on your iPhone:

Reading Data

• Favorite verses you have bookmarked
• Pins you have added to verses
• Chapters marked as read and reading progress statistics
• Your selected Bible version preference

App Preferences

• Font size and reading display settings
• Color theme preferences
• Notification settings and schedules
• Language preference

Purchase Information

• Your subscription or purchase status (active/inactive) is stored in your device's encrypted Keychain
• This is used solely to determine whether to unlock premium content
• We do not store payment details, credit card numbers, or billing information

All of this data is stored using Apple's standard secure storage mechanisms (UserDefaults, Keychain, and SQLite databases) and is protected by your device's built-in encryption.

☁️ iCloud Synchronization

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, the Bible app uses Apple's NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore to synchronize certain data across your Apple devices:

What syncs via iCloud:

• Your favorite verses
• Your pinned verses
• Your reading progress per Bible version
• Your reading statistics

Important details about iCloud sync:

• This synchronization is handled entirely by Apple's iCloud infrastructure
• AzyroApp does not operate any servers that receive, process, or store this data
• Only you can access your iCloud data through your Apple ID
• You can disable iCloud sync at any time through your device's Settings
• If you disable iCloud, the app continues to function normally using only local storage

For more information about how Apple handles iCloud data, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy.

🔔 Notifications

Bible may send you local notifications if you have granted permission:

• Daily reading reminders at your preferred time
• These notifications are generated entirely on your device by iOS
• No notification data is sent to any external server
• You can manage or disable notifications at any time through iOS Settings → Notifications → Bible

The app will request notification permission during the initial setup (onboarding). You may accept or decline this request. Your choice does not affect the app's core functionality.

💳 Purchases, Subscriptions, and Payments

Bible offers premium content through in-app purchases managed entirely by Apple's App Store:

Payment Processing

• All transactions are processed by Apple through the App Store
• AzyroApp never receives, processes, or stores your payment information
• We do not have access to your credit card number, billing address, or any financial data
• Apple handles all payment security, fraud prevention, and transaction processing

What We Store Locally

• A boolean flag indicating whether you have an active premium subscription or purchase
• This flag is stored in your device's encrypted Keychain
• It is used solely to determine whether to display premium content

Purchase Verification

• The app verifies your purchase status using Apple's StoreKit 2 framework
• Verification happens directly between your device and Apple's servers
• AzyroApp does not operate any server-side receipt validation

Subscription Management

• You can manage, upgrade, downgrade, or cancel subscriptions through iOS Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions
• Refund requests are handled exclusively by Apple according to their refund policies
