This privacy policy applies to our website at MemoryVerses.com and our iOS mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Social Features & Friend Connections

Our platform includes social networking features that allow you to connect with other users, add friends, and share your memorization progress. When you use these features, we collect and store information about your connections and interactions with other users. You can control your privacy settings and manage who can see your activity through your account settings.

Activity Feed & Progress Sharing

By using MemoryVerses.com and connecting with friends, you consent to your memorization activity being shared with your friends through their activity feed. This includes:

This activity sharing is designed to encourage and motivate you and your friends in your memorization journey. Activity from private collections and private groups is never shared in the activity feed.

Verse Collection Privacy

Your verse collections can be set to either Private or Public:

• Private Collections: Only you can see these collections. Your verses remain completely private and are not visible to anyone else. Activity in private collections is not shared.

• Public Collections: Friends and family can view your collection, copy the verses, and add them to their own collections to memorize together. Activity in public collections may appear in your friends' activity feeds.

You can change your collection's privacy setting at any time by visiting the collection and selecting the privacy option in the sidebar. By default, new collections are set to Private.

Data Security

We implement SSL and other security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use.

iOS Mobile Application

Our iOS app collects the same types of information described above. In addition, the app may collect device identifiers and usage data to improve performance and user experience. The app communicates with our servers over encrypted HTTPS connections to sync your verses, practice history, and account data.

Subscriptions & Payment Information

MemoryVerses offers optional Premium subscriptions through Apple's App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple.

MemoryVerses allows parents to create family member accounts for children under the age of 13. These child accounts are managed by the parent and have restricted access to social features, including groups, friends, challenges, shared verses, and announcements. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us and we will promptly remove the information.

Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with the following third-party services:

• Apple App Store: For subscription billing and payment processing. Apple's privacy policy governs how they handle your payment information.
