Privacy Policy
Last updated April 2026
Our Commitment
Blessink is built around a single idea: a quiet daily reading, without a feed, an account, or surveillance. This policy describes the small amount of data the app touches and how we treat it.
Information We Collect
Blessink does not require an account, and we do not operate a server that stores your reading activity. The following data is touched only on your device:
- Bookmarks: The IDs of verses you save are written to your phone’s local storage. They never leave the device.
- Reminder preference: Your chosen daily reminder time (morning, noon, evening or off) is stored locally for the OS scheduler.
- Onboarding state: A flag noting that you’ve completed first-run setup, stored locally.
- Purchase status: If you purchase “Remove Ads,” that entitlement is stored against an anonymous, randomly generated identifier by RevenueCat (see Third-Party Services).
How We Use Your Information
- Show today’s verse: Today’s passage is chosen by date. No personalisation, no tracking.
- Send reminders: The OS schedules your chosen daily notification locally; the message is generated on-device.
- Honour your purchase: If you remove ads, your entitlement is checked at app launch via RevenueCat’s SDK.
- Show ads (free tier only): Occasional, full-screen interstitials served by Google AdMob. You can remove them via a one-time purchase.
Data Security
Because Blessink runs without a backend of our own, your reading activity is protected by the security of your device:
- Bookmarks and preferences are written to your platform’s sandboxed app storage
- Network traffic to our third-party providers is encrypted in transit (TLS)
- We do not maintain a user database, so there is no user database to breach
- Removing the app deletes all locally stored data
Your Rights
- Withdraw tracking consent: On iOS, the App Tracking Transparency prompt controls whether AdMob can serve personalised ads. You can change your answer anytime in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
- Disable notifications: Set the daily reminder to “Not now” in the side menu, or revoke the OS permission entirely.
- Delete your data: Uninstall the app — there is nothing on a server of ours to delete.
- Restore purchases: If you reinstall on the same Apple ID or Google account, your “Remove Ads” entitlement restores automatically.
Third-Party Services
Blessink integrates a small number of third-party SDKs:
- Google AdMob — serves interstitial ads to free-tier users. AdMob may collect device identifiers (for non-personalised ads if you decline ATT, or personalised ads if you accept). See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- RevenueCat — handles in-app purchases and entitlement checks. RevenueCat receives an anonymous randomly-generated user ID and Apple/Google receipt data. See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
- Apple App Store / Google Play — process your purchase and crash data per the platform’s own privacy policy.
We do not run our own analytics or our own server. We do not sell data; we have no data to sell.
