Privacy policy

Effective date: November 7, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. At Fruit of the Spirit, we are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our Bible study platform.

1. Information we collect

We only collect information that is necessary to provide you with a personalized experience:

Account data: Your email address to manage your login and study sessions.
Personal content: Notes, topical collections, and documents you create on the platform.
Phone number (optional): If you sign up for text messages, the mobile number you give us, and when you confirmed it, opted in and opted out.
Browser notifications (optional): If you turn on notifications, the address your browser's push service gives us to deliver them. It identifies your browser, not you.

2. How we use your information

The information collected is used exclusively to:

Authenticate your identity and secure your account.
Sync your notes and collections across your devices.
Process payments and manage your subscriptions or AI credits.
Improve our tools based on your reading preferences.
Send the text messages and notifications you chose to receive, and essential notices about your account and our policies.

3. Data protection and security

We implement advanced security measures to ensure that your data is not lost, misused, or accessed without authorization. Your personal content is stored in encrypted databases and is never shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

4. AI and content privacy

When you use our AI features (chat, summaries, or document generation), only the relevant context is sent to the models to generate a response. We do not use your personal notes to train external AI models.

5. Text messages and notifications

Text messages and browser notifications are optional, and we only send them to people who turn them on.

We use your mobile number only to send the text messages you signed up for and the codes that confirm the number is yours. Our text-message provider, Telnyx, receives your number and each message solely to deliver it.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-message opt-in data and consent are excluded from all the sharing described in this policy and are never shared with any third party.

Browser notifications are delivered by the push service of your browser's maker: Google, Mozilla, Apple or Microsoft.

You can stop at any time: reply STOP to any text message, turn off notifications in your profile or in your browser's settings, or contact us. We keep a record of when you opted in and out so we can honor your choice, and we delete your number when you remove it from your profile or delete your account.

Messages from a church you belong to follow our Church Membership Terms instead: the switches in your notification settings don't apply to them, and leaving the church stops them.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information and stored content at any time directly from your profile settings. You can also request the complete closure of your account.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

8. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, or payment processors) strictly for the purpose of operating and improving our Services.

9. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the 'Effective Date' at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
