Privacy Policy for Kiwi Bible

1. Information We Collect

We strive to collect only the minimum amount of data necessary to provide and secure our services.

Local Storage Data: We use your browser's local storage to save your reading preferences (such as selected Bible versions, themes, or font sizes). This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Automatically Collected Data (IP Addresses): When you interact with our AI-powered features, we temporarily process your IP (Internet Protocol) address to apply request limits and protect the service from abuse or excessive AI resource usage. This data is kept in cache for up to 15 minutes and is not stored in the application's main database.

User Prompts: When you ask questions to our AI assistant, the text you submit is processed to generate an answer. Please do not submit personal, sensitive, or identifiable information in your questions.

2. How We Use Your Information

Service Functionality: To provide AI-generated chapter summaries and answer biblical questions.

Security and Rate Limiting: We temporarily store your IP address in cache strictly to monitor the number of requests made to our AI API. This prevents automated bots, abuse, and system overload (rate limiting). This data expires after up to 15 minutes, is not stored in our main database, and is not used to track you personally or build a behavioral profile.

Monetization: To display relevant advertising to support the infrastructure costs of the application.
