Privacy & Data Handling — Prototype

Last updated November 13, 2026. This document describes an evolving prototype with an optional cloud manuscript workspace, not a fully launched public community. It must be reviewed and expanded before App Store submission.

Your writing

Manuscripts, pen names, draft content, local Scripture highlights and reflections are stored in browser storage on your device. These local drafts are not automatically uploaded. An optional separate account workspace uses Supabase authentication and stores manuscripts in its database when you explicitly save them there. Manuscripts are restricted by database access rules to their account owner, but are not end-to-end encrypted. Export your writing regularly; clearing site data or changing devices may erase it. Local browser storage is not end-to-end encrypted.

Network requests

When you request a KJV chapter, the Scripture Room fetches text from bible-api.com. That provider can receive technical request information, such as an IP address, as part of serving the request. The site is hosted through Vercel, which may process routine server and access logs. When you use My Pill, the message you submit and recent conversation turns are sent to the site's server and then to OpenAI to generate a reply. The page does not save this conversation to a user account, but the service providers may process requests under their own policies. Do not enter confidential information into My Pill. Other writing tools may have different data handling, so review each tool before entering sensitive content.

Microphone and images

My Pill uses text input only and does not request microphone access. Other pages, including the Scripture Room, may offer optional browser voice controls; browser speech recognition can involve platform-provided services. Profile pictures are local previews, not uploaded to a profile server.

Cloud accounts and deletion

If you use the optional cloud workspace, Supabase processes your email address, session information, and manuscripts you explicitly save. You can export cloud manuscripts and delete individual manuscripts from the active database. Provider backups may retain deleted records for a limited period. Account-wide deletion and full data portability are not yet available; do not rely on this prototype for highly sensitive information.

Deleting local data

Use the document delete, reflection delete, and clear-draft controls where available. You can also clear this site's storage in your browser settings. Export any writing you wish to keep first.

Important

An early account and manuscript database exists, but the public community is not ready for general release. A complete privacy policy, verified third-party disclosures, and a contact address are required before public App Store release.
