Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 30 September 2026

The short version: Your sermon notes and Bible study content are never stored on VerseTap servers. They live on your device and, if you choose, your own Google Drive. A few optional features send the words you choose to Google Gemini so they can work, and this page explains exactly which. We also record limited usage information to improve the app, and you can turn that off anytime. We may ask for your email address to send you product updates. You decide whether to share it.

VerseTap (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is built by Clarylife Global Limited (RC-7472855), Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

  1. Your Notes and Bible Study Content

Your sermon notes, study entries, and library data are stored on your device. They are not uploaded to VerseTap servers, and we do not keep a copy of them. We cannot read your notes, because we do not have them.

Two things to know. First, if you use an optional AI feature (Section 4), the text you choose to send passes through our server on its way to Google Gemini so you can get your result. We do not store it. Second, if you enable Google Drive Backup, your notes are backed up directly to your own Google Drive account (Section 3). They do not rest on any VerseTap-controlled server.

  1. Information You May Choose to Share

VerseTap does not require an account to use. However, certain optional features involve sharing your email address with us.

A. App Lock PIN Recovery Email

When you set up a PIN to lock VerseTap, you have the option to provide a recovery email address. If you provide one:

  • It is stored securely in our database (Supabase, hosted in the EU) and locally on your device.
  • It is used to send you a one-time reset code if you forget your PIN.
  • Reset codes expire after 15 minutes and are stored only as a one-way hash, so we cannot read them after they are generated.
  • Providing a recovery email is optional. You can set up a PIN without one by tapping “Skip for now.”

B. Product Updates and Account Registration

When you provide your email, for example during PIN setup or on the screen after a Pro purchase, or when you sign in with Google for Drive Backup, we may register you as a VerseTap user. Registration records your email address (for Drive sign-in, the email of that Google account), the platform you are using (Android, iOS, or web), a short label showing where you registered, such as PIN setup or Drive sign-in, and your consent. If you choose to share them, it also records your role and church name. If you reinstall the app or move to a new device, the app may use your saved recovery email or Drive sign-in to find your existing registration, so you are not registered twice.

We use this information to send you product updates, notify you of new features, and communicate about the app.

  • Registration happens only when you provide an email address, or sign in with Google for Drive Backup.
  • We do not sell your email address or share it with third parties for marketing.
  • You can ask us to delete your registration data at any time by emailing versetap.ng@gmail.com.
  1. Google Drive Backup (Optional)

If you choose to enable Cloud Backup, VerseTap requests access to your Google Drive.

  • Restricted access: We use the restricted scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file, which means we can only see, edit, or delete files that VerseTap itself created. We cannot access any other files in your Google Drive.
  • Data flow: Your backup file travels directly between your device and Google’s servers. We do not store, view, or process this data on our servers.
  • No third-party sharing: Your backup data is never shared with anyone.
  1. AI Features

Some features use Google Gemini to give you a result. When you use one, only the text that feature needs is sent, through our server, to Google. We do not store this text on our servers and we do not read it. Google processes it under its own terms.

  • Scripture Counsel and AI Bible search: the theme or words you search for.
  • Dictation Cleanup: the text you select, or the note you ask to clean up.
  • Verse Lookup and Find Bible Reference: the passage you typed or selected, up to 500 characters, and only when the offline index on your device cannot find the reference.

Your notes, the offline Bible and Scripture detection work without these AI features. AI results are there to help you search and tidy your notes. Always read the passage itself in your Bible.

To let you return to a theme, the app keeps your last 15 searches on your device, and the results it generated for up to 90 days. Clearing the app’s data removes them.

  1. Usage Analytics

We record limited usage information to understand how people use VerseTap and to improve the app over time. This is behavioral information only. It never includes your sermon notes, note titles, tags, or anything you write in a note.

What we record: app opens, note creation and deletion events, Drive backup completions (including how many notes synced successfully), Bible verse lookups (including which translation you used), and Bible Browser opens. We do not save the words you search for in these records. Each record also includes your approximate country, which is worked out from your connection when the record arrives (we do not store your IP address), the platform (Android, iOS, or web), and the app version.

If you have registered with us, these records are linked to your account. If you have not, they are not linked to any identity.

This information is held in VerseTap’s own Supabase database (see Section 6) and viewed in our own private reports (Google Looker Studio). We do not use any third-party analytics SDK, and it is never sold or shared for marketing.

You can turn analytics off at any time in the Privacy Promise section of the app menu. Turning it off does not affect any other feature of the app.

  1. Data Storage, Security and Retention

Registration data (email, platform, source label, consent, and your role and church name if you gave them) and usage records are stored in Supabase, a managed database platform hosted in the EU (Ireland). PIN reset codes are stored only as SHA-256 hashes and expire after 15 minutes. Our server reaches the database with restricted service access, and no database credentials are placed in the app.

Registration data is kept until you ask us to delete it. Usage records are kept to show how the app is growing, and they contain no note content and no search words. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, which can include IP addresses.

  1. Service Providers

We use a small number of providers to run VerseTap:

  • Google: Gemini (AI features), Google Drive (your optional backup), Google sign-in, Google Play, Google Fonts (loaded when the app opens), and Looker Studio (our private usage reports).
  • Apple: the App Store.
  • RevenueCat: subscriptions and Pro access.
  • Vercel: hosting and our server.
  • Supabase: our database, hosted in the EU (Ireland).
  • Resend: the PIN recovery email.

Some links in the app, such as Word Study, open other websites. They have their own privacy policies.

  1. Children’s Privacy

VerseTap is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

  1. Changes to This Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy when our data practices change. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent changes were made. Significant changes will be communicated via the in-app announcement system.
