Privacy Policy

Browsing scripture, reading Prayers, and reading other users' verse comments never requires any information from you. If you create an account, you provide (or your sign-in provider shares) an email address or identifier and a display name — a real name is required on every account. If you submit a prayer request, mark yourself as praying for someone, leave a note, or comment on a verse, that text and your display name are stored on our servers and are visible to anyone using the app, including people who haven't created an account. Prayer requests, notes, and verse comments are not private messages.

We don't run analytics or advertising trackers of any kind (see “Analytics & advertising” below). Our backend infrastructure provider (Supabase) may log standard technical request information — such as IP address — as part of operating its service, the way any web-connected backend does; we don't separately collect or analyze this ourselves.

If you never create an account, your scripture reading position, saved and favorited verses, daily check-in streak, reading-plan progress, Faith stats, and app preferences (theme, font, music, sound, vibration, animation) live only in local storage on your device. None of this is sent to our servers, and all of it is removed if you uninstall the app.

Once you're signed in, that same reading position, saved and favorited verses, streak, reading-plan progress, Faith stats, and preferences sync to your account instead — continuously and automatically, with no manual “sync now” step — so they follow you across every device you sign into. This data is private to your account: no other user, or anyone browsing without an account, can read it.

You can sign in with Apple, Google, Facebook, X (Twitter), or an email address and password, powered by Supabase Auth. If you use Apple, Google, or Facebook, those companies process your authentication according to their own privacy policies, and we only ever receive the identifier, email, and name they choose to share with us. X doesn't share a real email address at all, so a placeholder address that isn't tied to you anywhere else is generated instead. When Facebook's more private sign-in mode isn't available, and always for X, your access token is sent to our server just long enough to verify it directly with Facebook or X and create your session — it isn't stored afterward.

Tapping a verse can show AI-generated study content — a glossary, explanation, historical context, word studies, and similar sections, produced using an AI provider (Anthropic Claude). This content is generated once per verse and reused for every user who opens it; it is not associated with your account, and no information about you is sent to the AI provider to generate it.

Nephi Plates does not include advertising SDKs and does not sell your information. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.

Account-linked data (bookmarks, progress, settings, prayers, notes, comments) is kept for as long as your account exists. Public content you post (prayer requests, notes, comments) can be edited or deleted by you individually at any time from within the app, as described below.

You can edit or delete any prayer request you've posted, and delete (though not edit) any verse comment, at any time from within the app. Notes left on a prayer request can't be edited or deleted once sent, matching how they behave for everyone who reads them. You can permanently delete your entire account at any time — Account → Delete Account — which immediately removes it and everything tied to it (bookmarks, reading progress, Faith stats, settings, prayer requests, notes, and comments) with no need to contact us. See our Account Deletion page for the full explanation.

We use industry-standard tools (Supabase, including Postgres Row Level Security) to restrict access to your account data to your own account. No method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

Nephi Plates is not directed at children under 13, and account creation requires an email address or a sign-in provider consistent with that provider's own age requirements.

Nephi Plates is available worldwide. If you use the app from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers (Supabase and Anthropic) operate their infrastructure.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new “last updated” date above.

Questions about this policy can be directed to support@nephiplates.com. You don't need to contact us to delete your account — see “Data deletion” above.
