Privacy Policy

At Estes Clan Inc. (“Estes Clan,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to stewarding your personal information with integrity and care as part of our mission to promote human flourishing through faith-centered technology. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you use the MyBibleIQ mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

We do not sell your personal information. We treat your spiritual journey data with respect and transparency.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Personal Information

• Name, email address, phone number, and profile details you provide during registration or account creation.

• Information from social logins (Google, Apple, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn) as authorized by your privacy settings.

Usage and Activity Data

• Bible study progress, quest completions, quiz scores, reading history, and interactions with the AI assistant.

• Community content you post or share (comments, notes, prayer requests — you control visibility settings).

• Preferences such as favorite Bible translations or study goals.

Technical and Analytics Data

• Device information, IP address, app usage statistics, and crash reports collected through tools such as Firebase or similar services.

Children’s Data

• MyBibleIQ is designed primarily for teens and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, personalize, and improve the Services (e.g., generate AI responses, track progress, enable community features).

• To send important updates, faith-encouraging notifications, and (with your consent) promotional content.

• To analyze anonymized usage patterns to enhance gamification and user experience.

• To comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service.

• We do not use your personal data to train external AI models without your explicit consent.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may share information in these limited situations:

• Service Providers: Cloud hosting (e.g., AWS), analytics (Firebase/Google), SMS/email providers, and AI processing partners — all bound by strict confidentiality contracts.

• Bible Content Partners: Limited data may be shared with trusted Bible publishers (e.g., for translation access) only as necessary to deliver content.

• Legal & Safety: When required by law, to protect rights/safety, or in connection with a business transfer (e.g., merger).

• With Your Consent: Anytime you explicitly approve (e.g., sharing a community post).

4. Data Security & Protection

We implement industry-standard safeguards including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security audits, and secure development practices. While we strive to protect your data, no system is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You can:

• Access, update, correct, or delete your personal information via account settings or by contacting us.

• Opt out of marketing communications at any time (unsubscribe link or settings).

• Limit or withdraw consent for certain processing (where applicable).

6. Cookies, Tracking & Analytics

7. International Users & Data Transfers

If you are located outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. We use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect your information consistent with this policy.
