Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 27, 2026
Grounded is designed to be a private, personal experience focused on reflection, reading, and spiritual growth.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how your information is handled.
Information we collect
Grounded does not collect or store personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or personal identity unless explicitly required for a feature.
We may collect limited, non-personal data such as:
- App usage data (to improve performance and experience)
- Device type and general technical information
Your personal content
Your personal reflections, journal entries, and inputs are not monitored, sold, or shared.
Where possible, this information is stored locally on your device and remains private to you.
AI processing
Grounded includes features that generate responses based on selected content (such as “Explain this chapter” or guided reflections).
When you use these features:
- The selected text (such as a verse or prompt) may be sent securely to a third-party AI service (such as OpenAI) to generate a response.
- No personally identifiable information is required or intentionally collected for this process.
- Responses are generated in real time and are not used to identify you personally.
How your information is used
Any limited data collected is used only to:
- Improve app functionality and performance
- Enhance user experience
- Maintain reliability and stability
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
Third-party services
Grounded may use trusted third-party services (such as hosting providers, analytics tools, or AI providers) to support functionality.
These services may process limited technical data necessary for operation but do not receive personal identity information from us.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no system can guarantee 100% security.
Your privacy
Grounded is built to be a safe, private space.
Your reflections, thoughts, and personal moments are yours alone.
Children’s privacy
Grounded is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
