Privacy Policy

Last updated April 30, 2026

Seek is built around a quiet kind of trust — you tell it what's on your heart, it points to scripture. This page explains, in plain language, what data Seek handles, why, and how to remove it.

The short version. We collect the minimum needed to sign you in and sync your streak across devices. Your chat messages are sent to an AI provider to find verses, but Seek does not store the messages on its own servers. We do not run ads, analytics, or third-party trackers, and we do not collect payment information — Seek is free, with optional donations processed by Stripe. You can delete your account from inside the app, which removes your profile data permanently.

1. Who we are

Seek (the "app", "we", "us") is an iOS app that surfaces Bible verses, prayers, and worship songs in response to what users share. This policy covers the iOS app and this website.

2. What we collect

Account information

When you sign up — by Sign in with Apple or email and password — we receive and store:

Your email address (or Apple's private relay address if you choose to hide it)
A display name, if you set one
An anonymous user ID issued by our auth provider

Preferences and activity

To make the app work the way you've set it up, we store:

Onboarding topic selections
Your preferred Bible translation (NLT or KJV)
Notification preferences and your local time zone
Your push notification device token (only if you enable notifications)
Streak count, longest streak, last active date
Aggregate counts (verses explored, cards created, daily chats used) for in-app stats and rate limiting

Seek is offered free of charge. We do not collect or store payment information. If you choose to make an optional donation, the payment flow opens externally in Safari and is processed by Stripe, who handles your card details directly under their privacy policy. Seek receives only confirmation that a donation occurred and the amount — no card numbers, no billing address.

Chat content

When you use scripture chat, the message you send and the previous turns of that conversation are forwarded to our AI provider (Anthropic) so it can return relevant verses, a prayer, and a worship song suggestion. Important details:

Seek's servers do not persist the contents of your chat messages. Our backend logs only a per-day chat count and the timestamp of your most recent chat — used solely to enforce rate limits.
The full chat history is stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData. It does not sync to our cloud. Reinstalling the app or signing out clears it.
Anthropic's processing of those messages is governed by Anthropic's commercial API terms, which prohibit using API inputs to train models and apply standard trust-and-safety retention. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

Saved cards, favorites, and prayers

Verse cards you create, verses you favorite, and prayers you save are stored only on your device. They are not uploaded to Seek's servers.

Information we do not collect

We do not use third-party analytics SDKs (no Mixpanel, no Amplitude, no PostHog).
We do not display ads or use ad networks.
We do not collect device advertising identifiers (IDFA) and do not track you across other apps or websites.
We do not collect precise location.
We do not access your Photos library to read photos. We request write-only permission solely to save the verse cards you choose to export.

3. How we use your information

Sign you in and keep you signed in
Sync your streak and preferences across devices
Send daily verse and streak notifications you've opted into
Process scripture chat requests through our AI provider
Enforce the daily chat limit (50 chats per user per day)
Diagnose errors (server logs do not include message contents)

4. Service providers

Seek runs on a small set of vendors. None of them sell your data, and each only handles what they need to do their job.

Provider	What they handle	Where
Supabase	Authentication, profile and preference storage, edge functions, push notifications	United States (East US)
Anthropic	Processes scripture chat messages to return verses, prayer, and song	United States
Apple	Sign in with Apple, push delivery (APNs), the App Store listing	United States and your region
Stripe	Processes optional donations made from inside the app. Card details go directly to Stripe; Seek does not see them.	United States

If you tap a worship song link, the destination service (Apple Music or Spotify) receives a normal web or app request from your device. Seek does not send anything about you to them; you are simply opening their app or site.

5. Permissions on your device

Notifications — optional. You can turn them off any time in Seek's Settings or in iOS Settings.
Photos (write only) — optional. Used only when you choose to save a verse card to your camera roll.
Sign in with Apple email — at sign-up, you can choose to share your real email or use Apple's private relay. Either is fine.

6. Children

Seek is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your choices and rights

Edit or delete your data: Profile → Delete Account inside the app permanently removes your profile, sync data, and usage logs from our servers.
Sign out: Profile → Sign Out clears your session on the device.
Turn off notifications: Profile → Notifications, or in iOS Settings.

If you are a resident of the EEA, UK, or California, you have additional rights under your local privacy laws — including the right to access, correct, port, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data. Contact us at the email below to exercise any of these rights and we will respond within the time required by your jurisdiction.

8. Data retention

Profile and sync data: kept while your account is active. Deleted when you delete your account.
Usage logs (rate-limit counters): retained for up to 90 days and then automatically pruned.
Chat content: not stored on our servers. Stored on your device until you sign out, delete the app, or delete your account.
Push notification token: deleted when you disable notifications or delete your account.

9. Security

Data in transit is encrypted with TLS. Data at rest in Supabase is encrypted by the provider. Access to user data is restricted via row-level security policies that scope every read and write to the authenticated user. No system is perfectly secure, but we follow current industry practice.

10. International transfers

Our service providers are based in the United States. If you use Seek from outside the US, your data will be processed in the US under the safeguards offered by each provider's standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanism.

11. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email before the change takes effect.
