Kept privacy notice
Your passages, your progress and your practice history stay on your device. Fourdot Tech LLC does not receive them.
This notice covers Kept for Android and for iPhone and iPad, published by Fourdot Tech LLC.
What stays on your device
Kept keeps everything you do in the app in its private storage on your device: the passages and translations you chose, every lesson step and rating, your settings, and the Bible text it ships with. Kept has no account system. Your device's own backup (Google backup on Android, iCloud or computer backup on iPhone and iPad) may include this data under your device settings. Export writes a file only to a place you choose; import reads only a file you choose.
Audio
Listening uses your device's built-in text-to-speech voices. Kept does not use the microphone.
Reminders
Daily reminders, the trial reminder and the renewal reminder are scheduled on your device. No push service is used.
Purchases
- Google Play and the App Store process Kept Plus subscriptions, free trials and one-time purchases, and your payment details. Fourdot never receives your card details.
- RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) confirms which plan is active on this device. It receives the store's purchase details (product, purchase and expiry times, price and currency, country), a random app user ID it creates for this installation, and basic device information (platform, operating system and app version). On Android, Kept turns off RevenueCat's collection of device identifiers; neither app gives RevenueCat an advertising identifier. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
Optional email
Kept may ask, once, whether you want an email before your free week ends. Giving an email is optional. If you do, our server (a Cloudflare Worker run by Fourdot) stores your email address, a random installation identifier, the RevenueCat app user ID, your subscription state from RevenueCat, and, only if you allow it, a few counts for the progress line in the email (for example, how many verses you are remembering). It never stores which passages you learn or any Bible text. Emails are sent through Resend; at most two a year: a reminder before a trial ends and a recap before a yearly renewal. Each email has an unsubscribe link.
If you ask to be told when another translation arrives (for example ESV or NIV), we store your email and which translations you asked about, and nothing else.
Removing your email (Settings → Delete all my data, or the unsubscribe link) deletes the address and everything stored with it. So that a delayed request cannot add it back, the server keeps a record that contains only a one-way hash of the installation identifier and hashes of the cancelled access keys. That record identifies no person.
Content updates
Kept may download updated collections and plans from our server. These downloads contain no information about you beyond what any web request carries (such as your IP address, which Cloudflare processes to deliver the response).
Analytics and advertising
Kept shows no ads, includes no crash-reporting or tracking SDKs, does not use the advertising identifier and never shows the App Tracking Transparency prompt.
Kept uses Google Analytics for Firebase to count how the app is used, so we can tell which steps help people and which get in the way. It records a short, fixed list of events: the app was opened, which onboarding step was reached, that a first phrase was recalled, when the Kept Plus screen is shown or closed and from where, which plan was bought or restored, that a free week started, that a lesson started (with its length and recall mode), finished (with counts such as how many steps) or was left, that a collection or plan was added, and that progress was exported. Event values are fixed labels and counts chosen by us. They never include which passages or verses you learn, your translation, any Bible text, anything you type, or your email.
Firebase also receives a random app-instance identifier, the device model and operating system version, the app version, language, and a coarse location (country or region) that Google derives from your IP address. Kept turns off the advertising ID, Android ID and IDFV, ad personalization and ad storage signals.
Your choice: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics stays off unless you turn it on. Elsewhere it is on by default. Everywhere, you can turn it off or on at any time with Share anonymous usage stats in Settings. When it is off, Kept sends no analytics events. Google processes this data under the Firebase privacy and security terms.
Children
Kept is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your choices and deleting data
Settings → Delete all my data removes everything Kept stored on your device and the optional email described above. Subscriptions are managed by Google Play or the App Store. See deleting your data.
