Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 16, 2026 | Last Updated: October 16, 2026
Preachly is operated by 1nfinite Aura Studios Inc., Ontario, Canada. Contact: info@preachly.app.
1. Introduction
Preachly is a Christian faith-based application that uses artificial intelligence to help users explore Scripture, understand Christian perspectives, and express their beliefs with clarity and confidence. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you use our application, website, and related services.
2. Scope
This policy applies to personal information processed in connection with Preachly's mobile application, website, account services, AI-powered features, subscriptions, and support communications.
3. Eligibility and Children's Privacy
Preachly is intended for individuals aged 13 and older. Users aged 13–17 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to maintain accounts. If we learn that personal information was collected from a child under 13, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, subject to applicable law.
4. Information We Collect
- Account information: email address, authentication identifiers, and information necessary to establish and secure your account.
- Profile and preferences: information you provide, which may include your name, denomination, preferred Bible translation, response tone, and other personalization selections.
- Questions and conversations: questions, prompts, AI-generated responses, saved conversations, bookmarks, and related content.
- Faith engagement information: reading activity, goals, check-ins, streaks, badges, and other engagement records associated with your account.
- Subscription information: subscription status, plan identifiers, purchase-related identifiers, and entitlement information provided through Apple and RevenueCat.
- Technical information: information necessary for security and operation, which may include IP addresses, device and application details, request logs, and diagnostic information.
- Communications: information you provide when contacting support.
5. Sensitive Information and Faith-Related Content
Questions about religion, personal beliefs, relationships, or difficult life experiences may contain sensitive personal information. We process content you voluntarily submit to provide the features you request. Please avoid submitting information that is unnecessary for your question, particularly confidential information about other individuals.
6. How We Use Information
- Provide AI-generated answers and related application features.
- Maintain accounts, conversations, bookmarks, and personalization settings.
- Verify subscriptions and provide premium access.
- Deliver requested notifications and support communications.
- Maintain security, investigate misuse, and prevent unauthorized access.
- Diagnose technical issues and improve application reliability.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
7. Artificial Intelligence and OpenAI
When you submit a question or use an AI-powered feature, Preachly may send your question, relevant conversation context, and selected personalization information to OpenAI through its API to generate a response.
OpenAI's API data-use policies generally provide that submitted API data is not used to train models by default unless the customer expressly opts in, subject to applicable service terms and exceptions. API providers may retain or process certain information for security, abuse prevention, or other permitted purposes.
We do not sell your conversations to AI providers. You should not assume that information submitted to an AI feature is confidential in the same way as a legally privileged conversation.
8. Authentication and Account Security
Preachly may support authentication through email credentials or supported third-party sign-in providers. Authentication-related information is processed as necessary to verify identity, manage sessions, and protect accounts. We recommend keeping your credentials secure and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access.
9. Subscriptions and Payment Information
iOS subscriptions are purchased and billed through Apple's App Store. RevenueCat assists with subscription entitlement verification and management. We receive subscription-related information necessary to determine access to premium features, but do not receive or store full payment-card numbers for App Store transactions.
Deleting your Preachly account does not cancel an active Apple subscription. You must manage or cancel your subscription separately through your Apple Account settings.
10. Service Providers and Disclosure
We use third-party services to operate Preachly, which may include:
- OpenAI: AI response generation.
- Google Firebase: configured authentication, messaging, analytics, or related services.
- RevenueCat: subscription entitlement management.
- DigitalOcean: hosting and application infrastructure.
- Apple: App Store purchases and supported authentication services.
These providers process information as necessary for their respective functions and according to applicable agreements and policies. We may also disclose information when legally required or reasonably necessary to investigate security incidents or protect legal rights.
11. Sale of Personal Information and Advertising
We do not sell users' personal information or private conversations. Preachly is a subscription-based service and does not use submitted faith-related conversations for third-party behavioural advertising.
12. Data Storage and International Processing
Information may be stored or processed in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those in your location, and information may be accessible to authorities under applicable law.
We use reasonable contractual, organizational, and technical measures appropriate to the information and services involved.
13. Data Retention
We generally retain account information and associated application records while your account remains active or for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services. Certain records may be deleted earlier through application features.
Following account deletion, associated records are removed from our primary application database through the account-deletion process. Limited information may remain temporarily in backups, security logs, third-party systems, or records retained for legitimate legal or compliance purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the category of information and applicable requirements. We do not promise immediate deletion from every backup or independent third-party system.
14. Account Deletion
You may request permanent deletion of your account through the application's Settings. The deletion process removes your account and associated application records from the primary database, including linked conversations, preferences, and engagement records, subject to applicable retention exceptions.
Account deletion may be irreversible. If you need assistance, contact info@preachly.app.
Important: Account deletion does not cancel an active subscription. Cancel through Apple's subscription settings to prevent future renewals.
15. Your Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, seek correction of inaccurate information, ask questions about our privacy practices, or request deletion of eligible information.
To exercise these rights, contact info@preachly.app. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Certain information may be withheld or retained where permitted or required by law.
16. Consent and Choices
We process personal information based on applicable consent and other lawful grounds where available. You may adjust supported personalization settings, manage device notification permissions, or discontinue use of the Services. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain features and does not necessarily require deletion of information we must lawfully retain.
17. Notifications
Preachly may send service-related notifications, reminders, and engagement messages where enabled. You can manage push-notification permissions through your device settings and available application controls. Marketing communications, where offered, are subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements.
18. Analytics and Diagnostics
We may process technical and usage information through configured analytics, logging, and diagnostic services to understand application performance, identify errors, and protect service reliability. The information collected depends on the services and settings enabled in the application.
19. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website may use technologies necessary for operation, security, or performance measurement. Any additional analytics or tracking technologies are subject to applicable privacy and consent requirements. We do not represent that every third-party website linked from Preachly follows this policy.
20. Security Safeguards
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and loss. These may include authenticated access controls, secured hosting, encrypted connections, and security monitoring appropriate to the Services.
No internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect a security or privacy issue, please contact us promptly at info@preachly.app. We will assess incidents and provide notifications or reports where required by applicable law.
21. External Sharing and Third-Party Links
Preachly may provide features for sharing generated answers or other content outside the application. Once you share content with external recipients or platforms, their own privacy practices may apply. We cannot control how third parties retain or redistribute information you choose to share.
22. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our Services, technology, privacy practices, or applicable law. We will update the revision date and provide additional notice or seek consent where required. Changes do not eliminate rights provided by applicable law.
