Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2026

OneVerse is designed to be private by default. We have no user accounts and we don't track you. This policy explains what the app stores, and the one small thing it sends us.

Information the app stores

When you set up OneVerse, you may provide a first name, your age, how you're feeling, your goals, and where you heard about us. This is used only to personalize the experience. Your reading activity — verses read, streaks, favorites, reading plans, and estimated time reclaimed — is stored the same way.

All of this is stored locally on your device and synced through your own iCloud account (Apple's key-value storage) so your progress follows you across your devices. It is never sent to us or any third party. We operate no server and have no ability to access it.

App blocking (Apple Screen Time / Family Controls)

OneVerse uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework to pause the apps you choose. Those apps are represented to the app only as opaque tokens provided by Apple — the app cannot read which specific apps you selected, and that information never leaves your device. All blocking happens on-device.

Notifications

If you enable reminders, OneVerse schedules local notifications on your device (a morning verse and an evening recap). Their content is generated on your device; nothing is sent through us.

Purchases

Subscriptions and purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment details. Apple provides the app only with information about whether a valid subscription exists, so it can unlock Pro features. You can manage or cancel a subscription anytime in your App Store account settings.

Anonymous setup counters

OneVerse's setup is a long flow, and we want to know which screen loses people so we can fix it. To do that, the app sends us a plain counter — a message that says, in effect, “an install reached setup screen 7”. It also counts a few other milestones, such as whether Screen Time permission was granted and which answer was given to “where did you hear about us”.

No identifier of any kind is attached. There is no account, no advertising identifier, no device identifier and no hash of one. We cannot tell two installs apart, cannot link these counters to you, and cannot reconstruct what any individual did. The only other detail sent is the date the app was first opened, so we can compare one week against another. We store totals, not people.

This goes to a server we run ourselves on Cloudflare — not to any analytics company. It is never used for advertising or cross-app tracking. You can turn it off at any time in Profile → Privacy → Share anonymous usage.

No third-party tracking

OneVerse includes no third-party analytics SDKs, no advertising SDKs, no Advertising Identifier (IDFA), and no cross-app or cross-site tracking.

Children's privacy

OneVerse is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your control and data deletion

Because your data lives on your device and in your iCloud, you're in control. Deleting the app removes its local data. Data stored in iCloud can be managed or removed from your device's iCloud settings (Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time; we'll revise the “Last updated” date above and reflect any material changes here.
