Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

This policy explains what information the VerseTalk app (“VerseTalk”, “we”, “us”) handles, why, and the choices you have. VerseTalk is called 圣经说 / 聖經說 in Chinese; this policy covers the app in every language.

In short

You don’t need an account. The app uses a random app identifier, not your name or email.
Your conversations, saves, notes, and study plans are kept on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync.
When you ask a question, it is sent to our server and processed by an AI provider. We keep a record of the questions you send.
We don’t show ads, don’t sell your data, and don’t track you across other apps or websites.
You can ask us to delete your server records at any time: service@versetalk.app.

1. Information stored on your device

Your conversations, saved items, notes, study plans, reading progress, and settings are stored on your device. You can delete conversations in the app under Profile → Privacy & Data. Deleting the app removes this local data.

2. iCloud sync

If you subscribe to Pro and turn on iCloud Sync, the data above is also stored in your private iCloud database, provided by Apple. We cannot access your private iCloud database. Apple’s handling of iCloud data is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.

3. Your app identifier

On first launch the app creates a random identifier. It is not linked to your name, email address, or Apple Account. Our server stores it together with your app language, the date it was created and last used, and your subscription status, so that we can provide the service and apply your subscription benefits. You can find your identifier under Profile → Privacy & Data.

4. Questions and AI features

When you ask a question, request a summary, or use the plan assistant, the app sends the following to our server:

the text of your question or request;
the Bible passage you are reading or have selected, and your Bible version;
recent messages from the current conversation, for context;
your app identifier and app language.

Our server sends this information to an AI provider to generate an answer (see section 7). We keep a record of the questions you send, including the passage reference and your app identifier, to operate the service, prevent abuse, and improve the quality of answers. For study plans, we keep the plan request and its processing status while the plan is generated.

Please do not include names, contact details, health information, or other sensitive personal information in your questions.

5. Voice input

If you use voice input, your speech is converted to text by Apple’s speech recognition service, which may process audio on your device or on Apple’s servers. We do not receive your audio. Only the text you choose to send is handled as described in section 4.

6. Purchases

Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple. We do not receive your payment details. We receive information about your subscription status so that we can unlock Pro features.

7. Service providers

We use the following providers to run VerseTalk. They process information only on our behalf:

Cloudflare — hosting of our server, database, and AI gateway;
OpenAI, accessed directly and through OpenRouter — AI models that generate answers;
Microsoft Azure — delivery of app content such as Bible text;
Apple — App Store purchases, iCloud sync, and speech recognition.

We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it for advertising.

8. Analytics, advertising, and diagnostics

VerseTalk does not show ads and does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies. Analytics data collection is turned off in the app. If you have chosen to share diagnostics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may provide us with anonymous crash reports.

9. Support emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message, and use them only to respond to you.

10. How long we keep information

We keep server records only as long as needed for the purposes above, and we delete them when you ask us to. Records of study plan generation are kept only while needed to complete and troubleshoot the request.

11. Your choices and rights

Delete local data: use Profile → Privacy & Data → Delete All Conversations, or delete the app.
Turn off sync: switch off iCloud Sync under Profile → iCloud Sync.
Access or delete server records: email service@versetalk.app with the app identifier shown in Privacy & Data. We will respond within 30 days.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to its processing. We will honor these requests as required by applicable law.

12. Children

VerseTalk is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

13. International processing

Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. We rely on their safeguards to protect it.

14. Security

We use encryption in transit and limit access to server records to the people who need it to operate the service. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
