Privacy Policy
Scroll the Scriptures is an iPhone app made by MMC Media LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what the app and this website do with your information.
The short version
- You do not make an account. You do not sign in.
- What you read and save stays on your phone.
- The app sends a little technical data to two services: one for subscriptions, one for content fixes. It never sends what you read.
- We do not show ads. We do not track you across other apps or websites.

1. What stays on your phone
These things are stored only on your iPhone. The app never sends them anywhere:
- your reading progress and the days you read
- your saved verses and the names of your topics
- your weekly goal and reminder time
- your color theme and other settings
Using a scripture app can say something about your faith. That is one more reason the app keeps what you read on your phone. We do not collect religious beliefs or any other sensitive information.
2. What the app sends, at a glance
The app has no server of our own. Two services it uses, RevenueCat and Expo, receive a small amount of data from it. If you email us, we receive your email. This table matches the App Privacy answers on the app’s App Store page.
| Data | What it is | Sent to | Linked to you | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase history | Which plan you bought, when, and whether it is active | RevenueCat | No | Give you access to the app, restore purchases, count trials and subscribers |
| User ID | Your anonymous ID, a random ID the app makes on your phone | RevenueCat | No | Give you access to the app, restore purchases, count trials and subscribers |
| Device ID | A random install ID, and an ID Apple gives the app for your phone | Expo, RevenueCat | No | Send the right content update, count updates, handle purchases |
| Crash data | If a content update fails to start: the update’s ID and the error message | Expo | No | Find and fix a broken update |
| Email address | Only if you email us | Us | Yes | Answer you |
| Customer support | What you write when you email us | Us | Yes | Answer you and fix errors |
“Linked to you” means the data could identify you. The anonymous ID and the device IDs are random. They are not your name, your email address or your Apple Account.
3. Subscriptions
You buy a subscription through Apple. Apple handles your payment. We never see your card details.
RevenueCat, a subscription service, processes your purchases for us. The app sends RevenueCat:
- Your anonymous ID. The app makes this random ID on your phone. It is not your name, email or Apple Account. You can see it in the app under Settings › About, labeled “Your anonymous ID”.
- Your purchase history: which plan you bought, when, and whether it is active.
- Technical details: your phone model, iOS version, app version, language settings, App Store country, and an ID Apple gives the app for your phone.
RevenueCat also sees your IP address. It says it does not store it.
We use this information to give you access to the app, restore your purchases, and count trials and subscribers. RevenueCat handles it under its own privacy policy.
4. Content updates
Each time you start the app, it asks Expo’s update service if there is a content update, such as a corrected verse. This request sends:
- a random install ID that the app makes on your phone
- your platform (iOS) and which app version and content version you have
- if an update failed to start on your phone, the update’s ID and the error message
Expo also sees your IP address. Expo uses this to send the right update and to count how many phones got each one. Expo handles it under its own privacy policy.
5. Reminders
Reminders are set on your phone as local notifications. They do not come from a server, and no notification token is sent anywhere. You can change or turn them off in the app or in your iPhone settings.
6. Crash reports
The app has no third-party crash tool. If you allow it in your iPhone settings, Apple may share crash reports with us. Apple handles those reports under its own privacy policy.
7. Emails you send us
“Report an error” opens your own email app with the verse reference filled in. The app sends nothing by itself. If you send that email, or any email to [email protected], we receive your email address and what you write. We use them only to answer you and fix the problem. We keep them only as long as we need to help you.
8. This website
This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no advertising. Its fonts are served from this site, not from a third party. The web preview of the app runs in your browser and saves nothing. Like any website, our web host may keep standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type and the page requested, to keep the site running and secure.
9. Who handles data for us
- Apple sells and bills the subscription, handles refunds, and may share crash reports you allow.
- RevenueCat, Inc. confirms and restores purchases (section 3).
- Expo (650 Industries, Inc.) delivers content updates (section 4).
- Our email provider stores the emails you send us (section 7).
We do not sell your information to anyone, and we do not share it for advertising.
10. What we do not do
- We do not sell your information.
- We do not share it for advertising.
- We do not use ad tools or cross-app tracking. The app has no analytics SDK.
- We do not ask you to make an account or sign in.
11. Deleting your information
- On your phone: deleting the app deletes everything it stored on your phone.
- Your purchase record: email [email protected] with your anonymous ID from Settings › About. We will delete the record within 30 days.
- Emails you sent us: ask us and we will delete them.
- Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. To cancel, go to your Apple Account settings on your iPhone. The Support page shows how.
Apple keeps its own records of your purchases. We cannot delete those.
12. Your privacy rights
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected]. Some US states give residents these rights by law; we answer every request the same way, wherever you live. We will not treat you differently for asking.
13. Children
The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
14. Changes to this policy
We may change this policy. If we do, we will post the new version here and update the effective date at the top. If a change is important, we will also tell you in the app.
15. Contact
