Privacy Policy

Your journal and preferences

The app stores your journal entries, completed readings, selected intention, and onboarding preferences locally on your device. Your journal text and selected intention are not sent to PostHog or RevenueCat. Usage events, including the day and season of a completed reading, may be sent as described below. You do not need to create an app account.

The readings and illustrations are included with the app. Internet access is needed for purchase services. The app does not provide cloud synchronization of your journal. Device backups or transfers managed by Apple may include app data depending on your device settings.

Journal data uses local app storage. The app does not add its own encryption or a separate journal passcode. Protect your device and consider what you choose to record.

Purchases

Apple processes in-app payments. We do not receive your payment card details.

We use RevenueCat to check purchases, provide and restore access to the purchased season, and understand purchase activity. RevenueCat processes an automatically generated app user identifier, transaction and purchase information, and technical context needed to provide its service, such as app/platform information and locale. The app does not supply RevenueCat with your journal, prayer intention, name, or email address.

Purchase services may connect when you open or return to the app, even if you have not made a purchase. No advertising identifier collection or advertising integration is configured in the current app.

Analytics and advertising

We use PostHog to understand app use and improve reliability. When Help improve the app is enabled in Settings, we send events such as app opens, onboarding steps, reading completions, paywall and purchase outcomes, reminder choices, and general error categories. Events use a randomly generated installation identifier and technical context such as app version, device model, operating system, and language. We do not send journal text, selected prayer intentions, names, email addresses, payment details, or raw error messages. Session recording and advertising identifier collection are disabled. You can stop future usage events by turning off Help improve the app in Settings. This does not delete events already received.

We do not use journal content for advertising. The current app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites for advertising.

Reminders and optional Advent updates

Daily prayer reminders are scheduled locally on your device at your chosen time and require notification permission. If Advent updates is enabled and daily reminders are off, the app also schedules one local reminder after at least three days without opening the app. Returning resets this reminder; it does not repeat during the same absence, and late-night delivery is deferred until 9 a.m. The last app activity time is stored locally for scheduling. These local reminders do not require an internet connection to be delivered.

If you enable Advent updates in Settings, the app sends its device push token and installation identifier to PostHog so we can send occasional app announcements through Apple Push Notification service. This preference is separate from usage analytics and daily reminders. Turn off Advent updates to unregister the device when the app can reach PostHog. Disabling notifications in your phone settings stops notification display.

Contacting us

If you email hello@studiorehoboth.io, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to respond and resolve your request. Please do not send private journal entries, passwords, or full payment card details.

Keeping and removing information

Local journal information remains in app storage until you change or remove it, or remove the app's stored data. You can clear an individual reflection and save the change. Restart journey clears the current year's completion marks but keeps journal notes, your intention, and purchases.

Deleting the app may remove its local data, but does not erase analytics or push registration data already held by PostHog, or purchase records held by Apple or RevenueCat. Device backups may retain copies according to your backup settings.

Purchase and support information may need to be retained to provide access, handle refunds or disputes, and meet applicable recordkeeping obligations. Contact us about access, correction, or deletion requests. We may need limited information to locate a purchase or verify a request. We cannot retrieve journal content that has remained only on your device. Applicable legal requirements may limit what records can be deleted.

Service providers and processing locations

Apple and RevenueCat handle purchase-related information as described above. PostHog processes usage analytics and optional push notification registrations in our US-hosted project; Apple delivers iOS push notifications. Support messages are handled through our email service. These providers may process information outside your country under their applicable privacy terms and safeguards.

Changes and contact

We will update this policy when our practices change. The published policy will show its effective date. We will update the policy and relevant disclosures before enabling new data collection practices.
