Lamp Privacy Policy

Lamp is a daily devotional Bible study app for children, teens, adults and families. We built it to help people study Scripture and pray, not to collect information about them.

Using Lamp without an account

You can use Lamp as a guest. Your name, reading path, feelings you check in with, journal entries, notes, highlights, saved verses, prayer check-offs, streaks and settings are then stored only on your own device. We do not upload them and cannot see them.

If you create an account

An account lets you back up your studies and use Lamp on more than one device. You sign in with your email address and a one-time code; there is no password. When you are signed in, the information listed above is copied to our secure database (hosted by Supabase) so it can be restored on your other devices. It is protected so that only your signed-in account can read it. We use your email only to sign you in. We do not send marketing email.

What is sent to create your study

To write each day's devotional and prayers, Lamp sends our server a small request containing: your reading path (for example "Book of John"), the feeling you chose, the church season, the date and your age group (kid, teen or adult). When you ask Lamp to turn your evening check-in or journal into prayer points, the words you wrote are sent so the prayer can be written. These requests do not include your name, email or any account identifier.

Our server uses Anthropic's Claude AI to write this content and API.Bible and other Bible text services to show Scripture. Anthropic processes the request only to produce the response and does not use it to train its models.

Sharing progress with a parent

A child or teen can choose to share their progress with a parent or trusted adult by giving them a code. Only completion information is shared: which days were completed, which steps were done (study, prayer points, meditation, evening), the time the study was marked complete, the passage reference, the first name shown in the app and the streak. Notes, journal entries, feelings and prayers are never shared. Sharing can be stopped at any time from the same screen.

Error reports

When something goes wrong in Lamp (an error, a failed request, or the app closing unexpectedly), Lamp sends a short anonymous report so we can fix it: the error message, which screen you were on, the app version and your device type. It contains no name, email, account, study notes or other personal information, and it is not used for advertising or tracking.

What we never do

No advertising. No tracking or analytics tools, and no third-party crash or analytics services. No selling or sharing of personal information. No location, contacts, camera or microphone access.

Children

Lamp has a Kids mode for children under 12. Children do not create accounts and are not asked for an email address. Their journal entries and choices stay on their device. If a child uses "Turn this into a prayer", their words are sent only to write that prayer and are not stored. A parent can view a child's completed days only when the child shares a progress code.

Keeping and deleting your information

Guest information stays on your device until you sign out or delete the app. If you have an account, you can delete it at any time in Lamp under More → Settings → Delete my account, which permanently removes your account and its backup from our database. You can also ask us to delete your account and data without the app: email jcreatives1x@gmail.com from the email address you signed in with, with the subject "Delete my Lamp account". We delete it within 7 days and confirm by email. Shared progress is removed when sharing is stopped, or on request.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
