Privacy Policy

Undertext (also published as “Undertext Bible” on the App Store) — effective June 9, 2026.

Undertext is a contemplative Bible reader. It is built to be quiet in every sense, including how it treats your information: it does not ask you to create an account, it does not track you, and it does not collect personal data.

What we collect

Nothing personal. Undertext has no login, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking software. We do not build a profile of you and we do not sell or share data, because we do not gather it in the first place.

Information stored on your device

Your reading preferences (such as haptics, keep-screen-awake, and your daily-verse time) and any scripture chapters you have opened are stored locally on your device so the app can work offline and remember your settings. This information stays on your device and is never transmitted to us. Deleting the app removes it.

Scripture data and our servers

Scripture text is delivered from our own servers at undertext.org over a secure (HTTPS) connection. As with any normal web request, our hosting provider may record standard, non-identifying technical log entries (such as an IP address and the file requested) for security and reliability. These logs are not used to identify you or to track you across apps or websites.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily verse, the reminder is scheduled entirely on your device using Apple’s local notifications. No server is involved and no information leaves your phone to make it work.

Children

Undertext is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
