Privacy policy
We do not sell your data and we do not build a profile of what you read, highlight or pray. There is no account and no cloud backup, so your notes and reading history never reach a server of ours at all — they exist only on your device.
Who we are
This policy covers the Religious Reader Android app, package
com.luckytools.bible_buddy, as published on Google Play by Cloudy NI (sole
trader), together with the cloudyni.com pages that support it: this policy, the terms of use and the data deletion
page.
It describes the build that is on Google Play now. Where a feature is optional this policy says so, and where the app keeps nothing on our servers it says that too. We do not sell personal data.
What stays on your device
The following is written into the app's own private storage on your phone and is never sent to us:
- Your highlights, notes and bookmarks.
- Reading progress and streaks.
- Chosen translation or text, plus display settings.
- The locally cached ad-free entitlement for this install.
Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app deletes all of it at once, without contacting us. The data deletion page lists the steps.
What the app can access
The app asks Android for as little as it can. This is the complete list for the published build:
- None — the app requests no dangerous Android permissions
An item above is used only while the feature that needs it is running, and nothing beyond this list is accessed by the app.
Information the app handles
This is the full picture for the published build: everything the app records, processes or transmits, and where it goes.
- Highlights, notes and bookmarks. Verse highlights, personal notes, bookmarks and reading-position markers are stored on your device.
- Reading progress. Streaks, chapters read and the texts you have opened, kept so the app can resume where you left off.
- Settings. Theme, font size, preferred translation or text selection and notification preferences.
- Advertising data processed by Google AdMob on the free tier (see the advertising section).
- Correspondence you send to support.
Accounts and cloud services
Religious Reader has no account, no sign-in and no cloud service. The texts are bundled with the app and everything you save stays in the app's storage on your device. Nothing you read, highlight or note is uploaded to us: there is no server-side copy of your data to read, export or delete.
The app also contains no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK. The only outbound connections it makes are the ad requests described below and ordinary Google Play traffic.
There is no account system in this app, so there is nothing to sign in to and no server copy of your work exists for anyone to read, export or delete. If a cloud feature is ever added, the privacy policy and the data deletion page will be updated before that build ships.
Children and families
Religious Reader is suitable for all ages and is used by families, including children. It needs no account and creates no profile, so we collect no personal information from a child: there is nothing to sign up for and nothing sent to us. Where ads are shown we restrict them as the law and Google Play's Families requirements demand, and a parent or guardian can remove ads with the premium product bought through Google Play. If you believe a child has sent us personal information (for example by emailing support), contact support@cloudyni.com and we will delete it.
Advertising
The free version shows advertising served by Google AdMob, and where the law requires consent it is collected through Google's User Messaging Platform before personalised advertising is served. Google and its partners may process your advertising ID, IP address and device information to serve and measure ads. You can reset or delete your advertising ID and change your ad settings in Android. Advertising never sees your notes, your highlights or which verses you read.
Where the law requires it, the app asks for your advertising consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before it requests an advertisement, and you can change or withdraw that choice from the app's privacy options at any time.
Advertising is served and measured by Google and its partners under Google Privacy Policy and AdMob & privacy. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, and turn personalised advertising off, in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
Buying a paid product removes advertising for as long as that product is active; the next section explains what we learn from Google Play.
Analytics, diagnostics and crash reports
This release contains no Google Analytics for Firebase, no Crashlytics and no third-party crash reporter, so nothing about how you use the app is reported anywhere.
Religious Reader contains no Google Analytics, no Firebase and no third-party crash-reporting SDK. Nothing about your reading behaviour is measured or transmitted, and there is no usage log on our side.
Purchases and subscriptions
Anything you buy in Religious Reader is sold through Google Play Billing. Google is the merchant of record, so your payment method, billing address and the amount you paid are held by Google and never shared with us.
To unlock a paid feature the app asks Google Play whether the product is active. The product identifiers are on the terms of page, and the price is always the amount shown on the Google Play purchase sheet when you confirm it. See Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
A subscription is cancelled in Google Play, not by deleting anything here, and deleting your data does not cancel it.
How long we keep things
Highlights, notes, bookmarks, streaks and settings remain on your device until you clear the app's storage or uninstall it; we hold no copy. Support correspondence is kept only as long as needed to answer the query.
Because this release keeps nothing on our servers, there is no record of yours for us to expire or archive.
Google keeps purchase records and advertising data under its own policies, as the store and as an advertising provider rather than on our behalf.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask us for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or erase it, restrict or object to how we use it, ask for it in a portable format, and withdraw consent where consent is what we rely on.
Most of what this app holds is on your device, so you are the fastest route to erasure: delete the entries, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. Where we hold nothing about you, a request will confirm exactly that in writing.
Email support@cloudyni.com for any of these. We answer within one month and we do not charge for a first request. You can also raise a complaint with the ICO if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information.
How we protect your data
Data kept by the app sits in its private app storage, inside Android's application sandbox, protected by your device lock and by Android's file-based encryption. Anything the app sends or receives travels over HTTPS.
No system is perfect. If we learn of a breach that puts your information at risk we will tell you and the ICO as UK GDPR requires; where we hold nothing about you, there is nothing for a breach to expose.
Changes to this policy
This page was last updated on 30 September 2026, and it describes the build that was on Google Play on that date. If a change affects what the app collects or where it goes, we update this page and the date above before the change ships. If the change is significant we will say so on the app's Google Play listing.
