Third-Party AI Services
Daily Sword uses a third-party AI service to power the spiritual guidance feature (available to users aged 17 and older). When you send a message through the guidance chat, your message content is sent to:
OpenAI — for AI-powered responses and conversation processing
This service processes your messages in accordance with its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policy for more information on how they handle data. Users aged 12–16 do not have access to AI guidance features and no chat data is collected or transmitted for these users.
Age-Based Content Access
Daily Sword collects your age during onboarding to provide age-appropriate content:
Users aged 12–16: Full access to daily verses, archive, and most spiritual warfare categories. AI Guidance, the Paywall, and certain battle categories (Lust, Addiction, Grief, and Gluttony) are not available.
Users aged 17 and older: Full access to all features including AI Guidance, all battle categories, and subscription options.
Age information is stored locally on your device and is not shared with any third party. Age verification is required during onboarding and cannot be skipped
Data Storage and Retention
Your data is stored securely in a PostgreSQL database. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
Chat message data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the guidance feature or until a user requests deletion. Local preferences (age, display mode, Bible version) are stored on your device using AsyncStorage.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. Your information is only shared with the third-party AI services described above, solely for the purpose of providing the guidance feature.
Push Notifications
The App may send push notifications for daily verse reminders. Push notifications are entirely optional and can be enabled or disabled at any time through the App settings or your device settings. Notification time preferences are configured during onboarding and can be updated in Settings.
Tracking and Analytics
Daily Sword collects lightweight, anonymous usage analytics to improve the App. Events such as verse views, shares, and feature usage are tracked without personally identifying information. We do not use third-party tracking services and do not track your activity across other apps or websites.
Children's Privacy
Daily Sword is rated 12+ and requires age verification during onboarding. Users under 12 are not permitted to use the App. Users aged 12–16 have restricted access: AI Guidance, the Paywall, and mature battle categories are hidden entirely. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 12. If you believe a child under 12 has used the App, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
