1. Information We Collect
Brunch9 ("Company") collects only the minimum information necessary to operate the "VersePop" app ("App").
The App does not require sign-up or login and does not collect directly identifiable information such as name, phone number, or email address.
| Item | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| App usage events (Firebase Analytics, anonymous, aggregate) | Service improvement and statistical analysis | Up to 14 months from collection |
| App-instance identifier (anonymous value generated automatically by Firebase) | Aggregate anonymous usage statistics | Until the App is uninstalled or data is reset |
Saved verses, records of verses already seen, and preferences such as text size and notification time are stored only on the User's device and are not transmitted to any server.
2. How Content and Notifications Are Handled
- The Bible text and reflections are bundled within the App, so no server communication or internet connection is required to read the content.
- The daily verse notification is a local notification scheduled and delivered on the device at the time the User chooses. No token is stored on a server, and notification content is not sent from a server.
3. How We Collect Information
- Anonymous usage data automatically collected via Firebase Analytics.
- Direct actions such as saving verses and changing settings — stored only on the device and not transmitted to the Company.
4. How We Use Information
- Maintain stability and improve quality through anonymous usage analysis
- Analyze aggregate usage flows, such as which features are used most
The Company does not use the collected information to identify individuals or for advertising. The App displays no advertising.
5. Where User Data is Processed
Data created directly by the User (saved verses, records of verses seen, app preferences such as text size and notification time) is stored only on the device.
Anonymous usage statistics are processed through Firebase Analytics and are not linked to any directly identifiable information.
Uninstalling the App removes all on-device data such as saved verses and settings.
6. System Permissions
The Company uses the following system permissions to provide core features. The User may decline or change any of these permissions at any time.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) | Display the daily verse local notification |
| Boot completed (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) | Restore the notification schedule after device restart |
| Internet (INTERNET) | Send anonymous usage statistics (Firebase Analytics) — not used to read content |
7. Third Parties and Data Processors
The Company does not, in principle, share the User's information with third parties, except upon a lawful request from a competent authority for investigation purposes pursuant to applicable law.
The Company entrusts the following processor with limited processing for service operation:
| Processor | Scope |
|---|---|
| Google LLC (Firebase Analytics) | Collection and analysis of anonymous usage statistics |
For details about Google's data processing, please refer to https://policies.google.com/privacy.
8. User Rights
- Notification permission can be revoked at any time in Android system settings.
- Uninstalling the App immediately removes all on-device data.
- If you do not wish anonymous usage statistics to be collected, you can stop it by uninstalling the App.
