What information Scripturial collects

Normal operation of Scripturial does not result in collection or transmission of personal identifying information. Scripturial does not collect basic study statistics under normal operation, however study statistics may be collected anonymously in the future to improve the quality of the software. If you are invited to participate in the beta program, and you accept the invitation, study statistics are anonymously collected and transmitted from your device.

Use of the website, use of the feedback menu and/or participation in the beta program may cause your IP address to be stored for security purposes for a short period of time. IP addresses may be monitored by staff, software and/or hardware tools to detect and prevent unauthorized activity and intrusions.

How we handle Personal Data

No personal information (such as Name, Email address, or IP address) is required or collected during normal operation of Scripturial app.

Optionally, you may choose to submit anonymous feedback inside the app. Do not submit anonymous in-app feedback unless you consent to the following: Feedback is transmitted over the internet; Your feedback can be made public. Your feedback includes: the feedback information, the time of the feedback, basic device operating system name and version (i.e. iOS 17.1 or Android 12.0), Scripturial version, and an anonymous random number (not linked to your identity or device) is included in the feedback. The random number is used for security purposes (i.e. to prevent DDoS attacks) and to associate feedback messages with previous feedback messages.

Submitting feedback also results in your IP address being temporarily stored in logs for security purposes. Security logs are deleted at regular intervals. Security measures may be in place that monitor incoming feedback to prevent abuse. For example, metadata about your feedback request may be transiently retained in order to prevent DDoS attacks.
