Privacy Policy

Fellowship is operated by James Hudgins Jr. ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect when you use the Fellowship app, how we use it and the choices you have. In short: we collect what the app needs to work, we don't sell your data, and we don't show ads or track you across other apps.

What we collect

Your account

• Your email address and display name, and your profile photo if you sign in with Google.
• A sign-in identifier from Google or Apple if you use them to sign in. We never see your passwords for those accounts.

Your profile

• Anything you add to your profile: bio, faith background, favorite book and verse, and how your profile card looks.
• Badges and milestones you earn in the app.

What you share and do

• Reflections, comments, prayer requests, suggested verses and their notes, and the names of groups you create.
• Your activity in the community: posts you resonate with, prayers you send and receive, members you follow, groups you join, votes in weekly polls, and reports you make.
• Counts used to apply daily allowances, such as how many comments you've made today.

Subscriptions

If you subscribe to Premium, Apple processes your payment. We receive confirmation of your subscription status from Apple but never your payment details.

Technical information

Our service providers automatically receive basic technical information when the app connects to them, such as your IP address, device type and app version, to keep the service running and secure. If you turn on notifications, we store a notification token for your device so we can send them.

Kept only on your device

Your private daily reflections, unsent drafts, your read-aloud voice and other preferences stay on your device. If you have Premium, your private reflections are also backed up to your account so you can restore them; only you can read that backup.

Who can see what

• Other members can see your display name, photo, profile, the reflections, comments and prayer requests you share, and the badges you've earned. Members can share your reflections outside the app with the share feature, which shows your display name.
• Only you can see who you follow and who follows you, the prayers you've received, and your private reflections.
• Prayers arrive without the sender's name. We keep a private record of who sent each one to prevent abuse. Members with Premium may in future be able to see who sent them a prayer.
• Reports are private. The member you report isn't told who reported them.

How we use it

• To run Fellowship: show the day's scripture, your posts and the community, and deliver comments, resonates and prayers.
• To keep the community safe: apply daily limits, filter offensive words, review reports and enforce our Community Guidelines.
• To provide Premium features to subscribers.
• To send notifications you've turned on, and to reply when you contact us.

We don't sell your personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to track you across other companies' apps and websites.

Service providers

We use a small number of providers who process data on our behalf:

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging and Hosting) stores your account and community data and runs the service. Data is stored in the United States.
• Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple, if you choose them to sign in.
• Apple, for App Store purchases, subscriptions and push notifications.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of members or others.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your data while you have an account. You can delete your account at any time in Profile › Delete Account. When you do, we delete your account, profile, follows and private backup immediately, and remove your reflections, comments, prayer requests and the prayers you've received within 30 days. Records of reports, bans and who sent which prayers may be kept for up to a year to prevent abuse, then deleted.

Children

Fellowship isn't for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email us at support@fellowshipdaily.app and we'll delete it.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit, and database rules limit who can read and write each piece of information. No service is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

Your choices and rights

You can view and edit your profile in the app, correct a post or comment shortly after sharing it, turn notifications on or off, and delete your account. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information. To make a request, email support@fellowshipdaily.app.

Changes

We'll update this policy as Fellowship changes. If the changes are significant, we'll tell you in the app. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
