Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 28, 2026
Your privacy matters deeply to us. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how we handle it.
The short version
- Your speech audio is processed entirely on your device. It never leaves your phone.
- We don't have accounts, logins, or passwords. We don't know who you are.
- We collect anonymous app analytics (opens, feature usage). No personal data.
- We don't sell data. We don't run ads.
Speech Recognition
ReciteWell uses on-device speech recognition powered by Whisper to grade your recitations. All audio processing happens locally on your iPhone. No audio data is ever transmitted to our servers or any third party. Your spoken words stay on your device.
Analytics
We use PostHog for anonymous usage analytics. This helps us understand which features are used and improve the app. We collect:
- App opens and session duration
- Feature usage (which screens are visited, which features are used)
- App version and device type
We do not collect: names, email addresses, IP addresses, location data, or any information that identifies you personally.
iCloud Sync
If you use iCloud, your memorization progress is stored in your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit framework. This data syncs between your devices through Apple's infrastructure. We do not have access to your iCloud data — Apple manages it entirely.
In-App Purchases
Subscriptions and purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information, credit card numbers, or Apple ID.
Third-Party Services
- Apple (App Store, iCloud, StoreKit) — Handles purchases and cloud sync. Subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
- PostHog — Anonymous analytics only. Subject to PostHog's Privacy Policy.
We do not use any advertising services or data brokers.
Data Retention
Your verse progress is stored locally on your device and optionally in your iCloud account. Anonymous analytics data is retained for 12 months. We do not maintain any database of user information.
Children's Privacy
ReciteWell does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app contains only Bible verses (KJV and WEB translations) and is suitable for all ages.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this policy, we'll post the changes here with an updated date. Material changes will be communicated through the app.
