App Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Faith Bridge, Inc. (“Christian Planner”, “we”, “us”) makes the Christian Planner app for iPhone and Android. This policy explains what the app does with your information. Our website has its own privacy policy.

What stays on your phone

The photos of your pages, the words read from them, the notes you type, the spoken notes you record, any photos you add to a page, your Word of the Year, the verse you carry each week and your reminder choices are kept on your phone. We do not receive them, and they are not stored on any server of ours. If you use your phone’s own backup (iCloud or Google), your phone may include the app’s pages in that backup, under your backup settings.

When you scan a page

To read your handwriting, the app sends the photo of the page you just scanned, over an encrypted connection, to OpenRouter, Inc., which passes it to Anthropic, PBC, the maker of the Claude model. The app tells OpenRouter to use Anthropic only, never to fall back to another company, and only through services that do not keep what is sent to train AI. The model reads the page and sends back the text: the title, speaker, passage and verses. The photo is sent only when you scan or choose a page, and only after you tap “Read my pages” in the app; if you choose “Keep this page on my phone”, nothing is sent and you type the page yourself. With the photo go fixed reading instructions, and, as with any internet connection, the service sees your phone’s network address. No name, email address, account or device identifier is sent.

Word of the Year ideas

Some versions of the app can suggest a Word of the Year with the same AI reader. When that is turned on and you have agreed, the app sends your answers to its three short questions and, if you choose “Start from my pages”, the titles, passages and the first lines (up to 600 characters each) of up to 8 of your recent pages, the same way and to the same company as a scanned page. The app’s first version does not include this; until it does, the app suggests words from its own list on your phone.

We send these only so your page can be read or a word suggested, and we do not keep a copy anywhere but your phone. How long these services keep a request is set by their own policies: OpenRouter’s privacy policy and Anthropic’s privacy policy.

Pages are sent only when you scan. Until you agree, every scan asks first, and “Keep this page on my phone” sends nothing. If you change your mind after saying yes, tap “Stop reading my pages” at the bottom of Notes: nothing is sent after that until you agree again. Pages you have already kept stay on your phone.

Permissions the app asks for

• Camera, to scan a page. You can also choose a photo you already took.
• Microphone, only if you record a spoken note. Recordings stay on your phone.
• Notifications, only if you want reminders, at most twice a week. Reminders are optional, and the app works fully without them.

You can change any of these at any time in your phone’s Settings.

Links out of the app

“Read it” on a verse opens that passage on bible.com in your browser. The app sends nothing to bible.com itself; once you are on that site, its own privacy policy applies.

What we do not do

We do not sell your information, show ads, track you across other apps or websites, or ask you to create an account.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Deleting your pages

Delete any page in the app with “Delete page”. Deleting the app removes everything it kept on your phone (copies in your own phone backup follow your backup settings). We keep nothing about you on servers of our own. For anything else, write to us at the address below and we will help.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. If the app ever starts sending anything new from your phone, it will ask you first.
