Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 8, 2026
The short version
Vivid collects no data. All user data — your journal entries, reading progress, settings, and themes — is stored locally on your device. No data is sent to any server. No tracking. No analytics. No advertising.
Data we do not collect
- No personal information (name, email, phone, location).
- No account or login — the app works entirely offline.
- No analytics or telemetry about how you use the app.
- No advertising identifiers or ad tracking.
- No third-party SDKs that collect data.
Data stored on your device
The following is stored only on your device and never transmitted anywhere:
- Journal entries you write.
- Reading progress and plan progress.
- Theme, appearance, and other settings.
- The bundled Scripture database (copied from the app bundle on first launch).
You can erase all of this at any time by deleting the app. We have no way to recover it for you, because we never had it.
Internet access
The app does not require an internet connection after install. If you contact us via the support email or website, that communication is handled by your email provider and Cloudflare (our web host), not by the app itself.
Donations and payments
Vivid is free. If you choose to make a donation, the payment is processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. When you tap the donation button, you are taken to a Stripe-hosted page — Vivid never sees, collects, or stores your card number, billing details, or any payment information. All payment data is handled directly by Stripe under their own privacy policy.
- Stripe collects the information needed to process your payment (card number, billing address, etc.) and shares with us only the donation amount, date, and (if you provide it) your email address.
- We do not receive your full card details, bank account details, or any data Stripe does not explicitly share with the merchant.
- Donations are voluntary gifts to support the ongoing costs of the app. They are not tax-deductible charitable contributions.
- If you provide an email address, Stripe may use it to send you a receipt. We do not add you to any mailing list.
Children's privacy
Vivid is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children.
