Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 15, 2026

Royal Nation LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Anchored mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, who processes it for us, and the choices you have.

The short version

• We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or to track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA) and Anchored does not show an app-tracking prompt.
• Google product analytics are off until you turn them on in Settings › Privacy. Our own basic product events (see below) follow the same switch in version 2.0.4 and later; earlier versions recorded them without asking.
• You can delete your account and its data inside the app.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Account information: name, email address, and profile picture, supplied by the sign-in method you choose (Apple, Google, or your email, through our sign-in service). We do not let you upload a photo.
• Your content: prayer requests, reminders, answered-prayer notes, journal entries and reflections. This content is yours. If you sign in, it is stored on our servers so it is available across your devices.
• Reading plans: if you ask the app to build a reading plan from a description, the text you type for that description is sent to OpenAI to interpret it. Your prayers and journal entries are not sent.
• Support: if you email us, we receive your email address and message.

Information collected automatically

• Purchases: your subscription status and purchase history, handled through Apple and our subscription provider. We never see your payment card details.
• Device and technical information: device model, operating system version, app version, language, an app-installation identifier, and a push-notification token if you allow notifications.
• IP address and approximate location: our providers receive your IP address as part of normal network requests and may derive an approximate location (country or city) from it. We do not collect precise location.
• Crash reports: when the app crashes, a crash report (stack trace and device and operating-system state) is sent to Google Firebase Crashlytics so we can fix the problem. This is on by default. We do not intentionally include your prayer or journal text in crash reports.
• Basic product events (our own servers): in version 2.0.4 and later, the app reports a small set of events to our own backend, for example that the app was opened, which onboarding steps were completed, or that a prayer or a reading was completed (including which book and chapter of Scripture, or which verse reference, you worked with), only if you have turned on Optional product analytics. Two kinds of operational events are sent regardless, because we need them to keep the app working: that the app crashed, and the outcome (started, completed, cancelled or failed) of a subscription purchase or restore. Versions 2.0.3 and earlier sent the basic events without asking. These events are stored without your account identifier unless you have opted in to analytics, and they never include the text of your prayers or journal.

Optional product analytics (off by default)

If you turn on Optional product analytics in Settings › Privacy, we use Google Analytics for Firebase to count a small set of events: the first launch, that a prayer was created (and whether it had a reminder), and that the subscription screen was viewed. This includes an app-instance identifier and basic device information. We never send the text of your prayers or journal to analytics. If you leave this off, Google Analytics for Firebase collects nothing from your device. (Our own basic product events follow the same switch in version 2.0.4 and later, apart from the crash and purchase outcomes described above.)

How We Use Your Information

• Provide, operate and maintain Anchored, including signing you in and syncing your content
• Send reminders and notifications you have asked for
• Process subscriptions and restore purchases
• Find and fix crashes and technical problems
• If you opt in, understand which features are used so we can improve them
• Respond to support requests, and comply with legal obligations

Who Processes Data for Us

We share data only with the service providers below, who process it on our behalf to run Anchored. We do not sell it.

• Clerk, Inc.: sign-in and account management (name, email, user ID, sign-in records).
• Convex, Inc.: our backend and database, which stores account data and the content you sync.
• RevenueCat, Inc.: subscriptions and purchases (user ID, purchase history, device identifier).
• OneSignal, Inc.: push notifications (push token, device identifiers, device model and operating system, language).
• Google LLC (Firebase): crash reports (Crashlytics), and product analytics only if you opt in (Google Analytics for Firebase).
• OpenAI, L.L.C.: interpreting the description you type when you create a reading plan.
• Apple: sign-in with Apple, App Store purchases and push delivery.
• Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry): crash reports from app versions up to and including 2.0.3, until you update.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or sale of assets.

Your Choices

• Analytics: turn Optional product analytics on or off at any time in Settings › Privacy. Turning it off stops collection from that point.
• Notifications: manage them in your device settings or in Settings › Notifications.
• Delete your account: Settings › Privacy › Delete account. This deletes your account, the content you synced to our servers, and your sign-in account.

Data Retention

We keep your account data and content while your account is active, and delete it when you delete your account, apart from records we must keep by law. Analytics data you opted in to is retained by Google for 2 months (event data) and 14 months (user data), per our Google Analytics settings.

Data Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can delete your account in the app, or email us (below) and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

Anchored is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will delete it.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws. We use providers that apply appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the "Last Updated" date. If a change is material, we will tell you in the app.
