No tracking, no analytics

No analytics, no advertising, no third-party tracking software. Nothing you read is reported anywhere.

Scripture, study material and original-language data ship inside the app, so reading, studying and memorizing all work with the signal switched off. A connection is used only to sign in, to send feedback if you choose to, and — if you are signed in — to carry your own study to your other devices. Nothing else in Anamara needs one.

Anamara Voice Recognition and Microphone Use

Anamara can turn speech into text — when you tap the microphone in a field to dictate instead of typing, and when you recite a passage you are learning.

Recognition happens on your device. The audio is never saved and it is never sent anywhere. Only the text appears in the field. Not every phone can do this on its own. Where yours cannot, the microphone stays off rather than sending your voice elsewhere to be turned into text.

The first time you tap the microphone in the app, iOS shows its own standard message, which mentions sending speech to Apple. That message is the same in every app that uses this feature. It does not describe what Anamara does.

An account does not change any of this. Your voice is turned into text on your device, the audio is discarded, and neither the audio nor a recording is ever sent to us or stored by us. Syncing carries your score — how much of a passage you recalled — and never the words you spoke.

Accounts and sync

Anamara works without an account, and always will. Everything you write and everything you learn is kept on your device.

You can sign in with Apple if you want to. It is optional, and it exists for one reason: so that a lost or replaced phone is not a lost year of study.

Syncing is on. If you are signed in, the study listed below is copied to our servers and carried to your other devices. If you are not signed in, nothing leaves your phone — that is still true, and it is still the default.

With an account, we hold:

• The identifier Apple gives us when you sign in, and the email address you sign in with. If you choose Hide My Email, that is a relay address and we never see your real one. We never see your Apple password.

While you are signed in, we also hold:

• Your notes, prayers and flagged verses, and the folders you file them in
• Your written answers to study questions, and your written reflections on a thread
• What you have added to Learn, your recall attempts and their accuracy
• Your Abide schedule and your own rating of each recall
• Which books and chapters you have worked through, which threads you have studied, and your study-days calendar
• Your settings, and how you have arranged your shelves

They are held so your study can reach your other devices, and for nothing else. They are not sold, not shared, not used for advertising, and not used to build a profile of you.

Deleting your account deletes all of it from our servers. You can do that from inside the app, in Settings → Account. It cannot be undone.

What is on your phone stays on your phone. Deleting your account does not erase your own notes, prayers or progress from this device — Anamara keeps working without an account, and you can carry on exactly as before.

What stays on your device

All of this is kept on your device, with or without an account. Without an account, none of it is ever transmitted to us. With an account, the list above is copied to our servers so it can reach your other devices; nothing here is sent anywhere else, ever.

On your device:

• Your notes, prayers and flagged verses, and the folders you file them in
• What you have added to Learn, your recall attempts and their accuracy
• Your Abide schedule and your own rating of each recall
• Your written answers to study questions, and your written reflections on a thread
• Which books and chapters you have worked through, which threads you have studied, and your study-days calendar
• Your settings — translation, appearance, reminder time, pass threshold

Feedback

What we receive:

• Your message
• Which version of Anamara and of iOS you are running
• When you sent it

The note is delivered by Formspree, a third-party form service, which emails it to us and is subject to its own privacy policy. If delivery fails, the app opens a draft in your mail app instead; nothing is sent until you send it.

This website

The site runs no analytics and sets no cookies. It loads no fonts, scripts or images from anywhere else — every file it serves is its own.

It has one form, at Contact. What we receive:

• Your message
• Your email address, if you choose to give one — it is optional

Nothing is sent unless you fill that form in and submit it. It is delivered by Formspree, the same service the app uses, and is subject to its own privacy policy. An address you give is used to reply and is not added to any mailing list.

Reminders

The daily reminder is scheduled and shown by your device. No server is involved, and nobody is told whether you opened it.

Children

Anamara collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
