Bible Stories: Life of Jesus, by Keron Labs. Last updated October 30, 2026.

The short version

Bible Stories keeps a small account for you on our server: a random ID, your answers from the first-run questions, and how far you've got through each episode. Signing in with Apple or Google is optional and adds the name and email that sign-in gives us. We use RevenueCat for subscriptions and Google AdMob for the optional ads. There are no analytics or crash-reporting tools in the app, and we never sell your data.

Your account

The first time you open the app it creates an account with a random ID and a random access token, which it keeps in your phone's secure storage. It isn't your name, your email or your Apple ID, and it isn't used to track you across other apps. If you sign in with Apple, or with Google where the app offers it, we store that your Apple or Google identity belongs to this account, plus the name and email address it supplies. If you use Hide My Email, we only see Apple's relay address. We never see a password. You can tap Not now and use the app without signing in.

The first-run questions

When you set up the app it asks what brings you here (worry, grief, looking for purpose and so on), where you are with faith, what time you'd like your daily verse, how much time you have each day, and your language. The answers are saved to your account as soon as you finish, signed in or not, and we use them to pick where you start and when your reminder goes off. Your answer about faith says something about your beliefs, so it stays with your account and is never shared with advertisers or anyone else. The app also saves your phone's time zone so that “today” means your day.

What you watch

We store which episodes you've started, how far into each one you got and when you finished it, so you can pick up where you left off on any phone. When you watch an ad to unlock an episode, we record the unlock and the date, because free unlocks are limited per day. Episodes are streamed and downloaded through links that expire after a few hours.

What stays on your phone

Your answers to the What would you do? questions on the Today screen, downloaded episodes, and settings like reading language and reading speed are kept on your phone only. The Verse of the Day widget reads from a list of verses built into the app and doesn't contact our server.

Reminders

If you allow notifications, the app schedules your daily verse on your phone, up to two weeks ahead, at the time you chose. They are local notifications. The app doesn't register for push notifications, so we have no way to send you messages. Change the time in the Me tab, or turn notifications off in Settings.

Subscriptions

Apple takes the payment, so we never see your card details. We use RevenueCat to check whether you're subscribed and to restore purchases. RevenueCat knows your copy of the app only by its random account ID, and stores what you bought and the App Store receipts for it. Our server keeps a short-lived note of whether you're subscribed. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Ads

A few episodes are free for everyone. After that you can unlock an episode by choosing to watch a video ad, up to a few a day, or subscribe to watch without ads. Ads only play when you tap to watch one. They come from Google AdMob, which collects information about your device, its IP address and how you interact with the ad, to serve and measure it. Before the first ad, Google asks for your consent where the law requires it, for example in the EU and UK, and on iPhone the app asks whether it may track you. Ads are personalised and AdMob gets your advertising ID only if you agree to both; otherwise you still get the unlock and the ads are non-personalised. The app limits ads to content rated for a general audience. To confirm you watched to the end, AdMob reports the reward to RevenueCat, using your random account ID. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.

Where it's kept

Our server, database and episode storage run on Cloudflare. Requests from the app include your IP address, which is used to answer the request and keep the service secure, not to identify you. Traffic is encrypted in transit. The app doesn't ask for your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.

Deleting your data

Open the Me tab and tap Delete account. That signs out every device on the account and deletes your progress, your ad unlock records, your Apple or Google sign-in records, your name, your email and your first-run answers. It also removes downloads and scheduled reminders from that phone. What's left on our side is a record with no name, email or sign-in attached: the random ID, the date you asked for deletion, and settings like language and time zone. Deleting your account doesn't cancel a subscription; do that in Settings on your iPhone. Signing out removes downloads from the phone, and your signed-in account stays on our server until you delete it.

Children

Bible Stories is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

You can use the app without signing in, watching ads or buying anything. To limit ad personalization, say no when the app asks to track you, or turn tracking off in your phone's settings. Keron Labs is run from India and our providers work globally, so your data may be processed outside your country. For anything else, including a copy of what we hold or questions about this policy, email privacy@keronlabs.com.

Changes

If we change what the app collects, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For help with the app, see Bible Stories support, and the terms of use.
