Privacy Policy
Last updated 3 October 2026
BiblePath is a Bible reader and reading tracker for iPhone, made by Nelson David Moncayo. This policy explains what the app does with your information. In short, it keeps everything on your iPhone and collects nothing.
What I collect
Nothing. BiblePath does not collect, transmit or share any personal data.
- No account. The app works without sign-up, email or login.
- No analytics, no ads, no tracking. The app contains no analytics or advertising code, and it does not track you across other apps or websites.
- No server. The nine Bibles, the catechisms, the cross references and the lessons are all inside the app. Reading works offline, and the app does not send your data anywhere.
What stays on your iPhone
The app stores the following on your iPhone only.
- Your name, avatar color and profile photo, if you add one
- Your language, Bible translation, canon (Protestant or Catholic), theme and reader text settings
- The chapters you have read, with the date and time of each reading, and your read-throughs
- Your highlights, saved verses and verse notes
- Your reading plans and their progress
- Your Scripture memory verses and review history
- Your catechism and discipleship course progress
- Journal entries, with their text, reactions, reflections and any photos or voice notes you add (kept in the app's private storage)
- Your reminder settings, and the email addresses of any accountability partners you add
Backups
Profile → Settings → Back up my data saves a backup file in the place you choose, such as the Files app or iCloud Drive. Once the file is there, that service's own terms apply to it. The backup holds your text data only. It does not include journal photos, voice notes or your profile photo. Restore from a backup replaces the data in the app with the backup you choose. Your iPhone's own iCloud or computer backup may also include BiblePath's data, as it does for most apps.
Erasing your data
Profile → Settings → Reset all data erases everything BiblePath keeps on your iPhone, including journal photos and voice notes. Deleting the app does the same. Backup files you saved somewhere else are not affected, so please delete those yourself if you no longer want them.
Email features
Two features open a pre-written email in your own mail app. BiblePath sends nothing itself, and nothing is sent unless you tap Send.
- Accountability partners. The app prepares a progress update addressed to the partners you added. It goes from your email account to theirs, and I never see it.
- “I have believed.” On the gospel page you can tell me that you have put your trust in Jesus Christ. The message is signed with the name you gave BiblePath, if you entered one, and says in a short sentence that you have believed. If you send it, I receive it together with your email address. I use it only to reply to you personally. I do not add you to any list, share it with anyone or use it for anything else. I keep it only for our conversation, and I will delete it whenever you ask.
If you write to me for support, I use your message only to answer you.
Notifications
The daily reminder, the evening nudge and the reminder to send your partners an update are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. The text of the smart reminder, such as today's reading, is put together on your iPhone. No push server is involved.
Camera, photos and microphone
BiblePath asks for the camera, your photo library or the microphone only when you add a photo, record a voice note or save a verse image to Photos. What you capture stays on your iPhone.
Bible text and other content
BiblePath includes nine Bibles. In English, the King James Version, the Berean Standard Bible and the World English Bible. In Spanish, the Reina-Valera 1909, the Reina-Valera 1865 and the Biblia Libre para el Mundo. In Portuguese, the Bíblia Livre, the Nova Versão de Acesso Livre and the Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial. Seven are in the public domain. The Bíblia Livre (CC BY 4.0) and the Nova Versão de Acesso Livre (CC BY-SA 4.0) are under Creative Commons licences (see Open Bible texts). Every Bible is built into the app, and nothing is downloaded while you use it.
Children
BiblePath collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
