Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how DarkBlue Apps (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Nepali Bible नेपाली बाइबल mobile application (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

Summary

You can read the Bible and use the study tools in this App without creating an account or signing in. The App does not include social, community, or user-account features. We do, however, collect limited information to display and limit advertising, send notifications, generate answers in the AI “Ask Divine” feature, keep the App stable, and manage in-app purchases.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Ask Divine questions. When you type a question into the AI “Ask Divine” feature, the text of your question is sent to our servers (and the AI service that powers the feature) so a response can be generated and returned to you.

Information stored only on your device

• Your notes, highlights, bookmarks, journal entries, reading progress, and app settings are stored locally on your device. This content stays on your device and is removed when you delete the App.

Information collected automatically

• Diagnostics & usage analytics — via Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics), to understand feature usage and diagnose crashes.
• Advertising data — an advertising identifier and ad-interaction data via Google AdMob, used to serve ads to users who have not purchased the ad-free upgrade.
• Push notification token — via OneSignal, so we can deliver daily-verse and reminder notifications (only if you allow notifications).
• Approximate device and locale information — such as device type, operating system version, and language/region settings.

Purchase information

• All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your credit-card or payment details. We receive and store only your subscription/purchase status, the product identifier, and the expiry date, so we can maintain your premium entitlement.

How We Use Information

• Deliver Bible content and generate AI “Ask Divine” answers.
• Display and limit advertising for non-premium users.
• Send daily-verse and reminder notifications you have opted into.
• Maintain and restore your premium (ad-free) entitlement.
• Monitor stability, diagnose crashes, and improve the App.

Advertising

The App shows advertisements through Google AdMob to users who have not purchased the ad-free upgrade. Depending on your consent and region, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request your consent for personalized advertising. You can reset your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking / Apple Advertising).

Third-Party Services

The App relies on the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Apple (App Store & in-app purchases) — apple.com/legal/privacy
• Google (Firebase, AdMob, UMP) — policies.google.com/privacy
• OneSignal (push notifications) — onesignal.com/privacy_policy

In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

The App offers optional auto-renewable subscriptions, a one-time lifetime purchase, and voluntary one-time donations. These are processed entirely by Apple. We store only your entitlement status as described above. For full purchase and subscription terms, see our Terms of Use.

Data Retention

Information stored on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App. Diagnostic, analytics, advertising, and entitlement data are retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by the relevant third-party service and applicable law.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

International Transfers

Because we and our service providers operate in various countries, information may be processed and stored in locations outside your country of residence, where data-protection laws may differ.

Your Choices & Rights

• Turn notifications on or off in your device settings.
• Manage advertising consent (where applicable) and reset your advertising identifier in device settings.
• Delete all locally stored content by uninstalling the App.
• Contact us to exercise any data rights available to you under applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
