Sojourner BiblePrivacy Policy
Effective date: 22 September 2026 (previously 7 June 2026; updated to cover the Android app and Google Play billing)
Last updated: 3 November 2026. Contact details updated: our support address is now support@sojournerbible.com and this policy now lives at sojournerbible.com.
Sojourner Bible (“the App,” “we,” “us”) is published by VentureLK LLC. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We built the App to be private by default: the Bible reader works with no account and no data leaving your device, and we do not track you or sell your data.
Summary
- The reader is fully usable with no account. Reading history and stats stay on your device.
- We collect personal data only for features you choose to use — signing in and creating an AI voice.
- Creating a voice sends your recording and the Bible text you choose to hear to our voice provider, MiniMax, which operates in the People's Republic of China.
- You can delete any voice, and your entire account, from inside the App at any time. Deletion is permanent.
- No advertising. No cross-app tracking. We never sell your data.
What we collect and why
| Data | When | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address | When you sign in | Create + secure your account | Supabase (backend) |
| Account identifier | On sign-in | Link your voices + purchases to you | Supabase, RevenueCat |
| Voice recordings (audio) | When you create a voice | Generate your personal reading voice | Supabase; sent to MiniMax |
| Generated audio | When you listen | Play + cache chapters (re-listens free) | Supabase storage |
| Purchase records | When you buy/subscribe | Unlock features; restore purchases | Apple or Google, RevenueCat, Supabase |
| Reading activity | As you read | Show your progress | Stays on your device |
We do not collect your contacts, location, photos, browsing history, or any advertising identifier.
Third parties we use
- Apple (iOS) — Sign in with Apple and In-App Purchases. Payment details are handled by Apple; we never see your card.
- Google Play (Android) — billing for subscriptions bought in the Android app. Payment details are handled by Google; we never see your card.
- Supabase — secure backend (authentication, database, file storage). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
- MiniMax (operating in the People's Republic of China) — AI voice cloning and text-to-speech. When you create a voice, your recording is sent to MiniMax. When you listen to a chapter in your voice, that chapter's text is sent to MiniMax to generate the audio. We send only what's needed; we do not send your email or identity to MiniMax.
- RevenueCat — manages subscription/purchase status. Receives your account identifier and purchase events.
Your voice, your consent
Voice is personal. We only create a voice from a recording you provide, and only after you confirm that it is your own voice, or that you have the recorded person's explicit permission. We use your voice solely to read Scripture aloud inside the App. We never share it, sell it, or use it to train models for anyone else.
Your choices and rights
- Delete a voice: Voices tab → ••• → Delete Voice. Removes the recording, all audio generated with it, and the clone from MiniMax.
- Delete your account: Settings → Delete Account. Permanently deletes your account and all associated data from our systems.
- Access / export: email us and we will help.
- Subscriptions are managed in the store you bought them from — your Apple ID (Settings → your name → Subscriptions) on iOS, or the Play Store (Menu → Payments & subscriptions) on Android. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; cancel it in the store.
Data retention
We keep your account data until you delete your voice(s) or your account. Deletion is immediate and permanent in our database; backups are purged on our provider's normal rotation.
Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Account creation and voice features are intended for users 13 and older.
International users
Our backend and AI voice processing involve servers in the United States (Supabase) and the People's Republic of China (MiniMax). By creating a voice, you consent to your recording and chosen chapter text being processed in those locations.
Security
We use industry-standard encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access to your data is restricted by row-level security and server-side authorization.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice.
