App Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Janus Works LLC collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile apps, including our Bible, devotional, and scripture-based apps, unless a product-specific policy says otherwise.

Our apps are designed to be simple and private by default. Most reading, listening, settings, and reminder data stays on your device. We do not require you to create an account just to use the app, and we do not sell your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

• On-device app data. We may store preferences, favorites, reminder settings, recent reading state, and similar app data locally on your device so the app works as expected.
• Limited analytics and diagnostics. We may collect app interaction data, screen views, feature usage, app version, device model, operating system, coarse identifiers, and crash or performance data to understand usage and improve reliability. Our apps send crash reports automatically through Firebase Crashlytics so we can fix bugs. A crash report contains the crash log, technical device and app information, and an app installation identifier; it never includes your content.
• Anonymous app identifiers. Some apps create a random identifier for your installation so features such as purchases, usage limits, and diagnostics work without an account. It does not include your name or email address.
• Optional Colors accounts and sync. Colors works without an account. If you create one, Firebase Authentication processes your email address and password and assigns an account ID. After you choose to sync, we store coloring progress and favorites under that ID in Google Cloud Firestore in the United States. Private reflections stay on your device unless you separately enable their inclusion in sync. This data is used to provide account access and recover your work, not for advertising.
• Optional measurement in Colors. Usage analytics and performance measurements are off by default. You can change this in the app's Privacy settings. Crash reports are sent automatically, as described above. When analytics is enabled, Firebase processes app interactions, installation identifiers, device and app information, and approximate geography derived from your internet address. Colors does not include your email, reflections, searches or selected artwork and Scripture in these analytics. Its analytics event retention is two months.
• Purchases and subscriptions. If you buy a subscription or in-app purchase, Google Play or the App Store processes the payment. We receive the purchase status, plan, and dates (through our subscription provider, RevenueCat) so we can unlock paid features. We never receive your card details.
• Questions you send to AI features. Some apps offer optional AI features, such as Ask in Women's Bible. When you use one, we receive the text you enter and related context. See section 4, Optional AI Features.
• Microphone (Drift). Drift uses the microphone only with your permission, for Room Match (15 seconds when you start it) and Live Cover (while it runs). Sound is analysed in your phone's memory into loudness levels and then discarded. It is never recorded, stored or uploaded. Drift keeps only the results on your phone.
• Information you choose to send us. If you contact us by email or through a support form, we receive the information you include in your message.

We do not ask for your name, contacts, photos, precise location, or payment card details just to read or listen in the app.

3. How We Use Information

• Provide the app's core reading, listening, and reminder features
• Provide optional Colors accounts, cloud saving and recovery of artwork
• Answer the questions you send to optional AI features
• Process purchases, restore subscriptions, and unlock paid features
• Understand which features are useful and improve the app experience
• Diagnose crashes, bugs, and performance issues
• Respond to support requests and privacy inquiries
• Comply with legal obligations and protect against abuse or fraud

4. Optional AI Features

Some apps include optional features that use artificial intelligence to explain a Bible passage or write a prayer. In Women's Bible, this feature is called Ask. Nothing is sent unless you use the feature.

• What is sent: the text you type (up to 1,200 characters), the verse you are asking about, your app language, the Bible edition, and an anonymous app ID.
• Where it goes: to our server on Google Cloud (Firebase, in the United States), which passes the request through our own relay service to OpenAI to generate the answer.
• What we keep: we do not store or log your question or the answer. We keep only a weekly count of how many questions an anonymous app ID has asked, to apply usage limits.
• Please avoid sensitive details. Don't include names, contact details, health information, or other sensitive personal information in your questions.
• Creating places in Drift: the description you type (up to 500 characters) and your app language go to our server on Cloudflare, which uses AI services (OpenAI, through our own relay, and fal) to make the sound. fal is asked not to store requests, and its output expires within an hour. We store your description, the recipe and the generated audio, linked to an anonymous app ID, so you can play the place again. Contact us to delete them. Pictures come from Drift's own hand-made art; none are generated from your text.
• AI answers can be wrong or incomplete. They are not pastoral, medical, legal, or professional advice.

5. When We Share Information

We share information only when needed to operate the app or comply with the law. For example, we may share limited data with:

• Analytics and diagnostics providers that help us measure usage and fix issues
• Platform providers such as Apple or Google when required to distribute the app
• Payment and subscription providers (Google Play, the App Store, and RevenueCat) to process and verify purchases
• Cloud and AI providers (Google Cloud and OpenAI) when you use an optional AI feature
• Google Firebase Authentication and Firestore when you use optional Colors accounts and cloud sync
• Authorities or advisors when disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share your data for third-party advertising.

6. Data Retention

We retain data only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy. Our retention practices are:

In limited cases, we may keep certain records longer if that is reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, resolving disputes, enforcing our rights, or complying with legal obligations.

7. Your Choices

• You can stop using the app at any time.
• You can remove locally stored app data by clearing app storage or uninstalling the app.
• You can manage notification permissions through your device settings.
• You can choose not to use optional AI features; nothing is sent unless you do.
• You can cancel a subscription at any time in Google Play or App Store subscription settings.
• You can contact us if you want to ask about your data or request deletion of information you sent directly to us.

Colors users can delete their account and cloud data inside the app or request deletion without reinstalling it. See the Colors account and data deletion page. You can also delete local Colors artwork separately. Turning off reflection sync stops future uploads but does not remove reflections already in the cloud. For other privacy requests, contact us and we will review them.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to limit access, use reputable service providers, and keep data collection narrow.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and post the revised version here.
