Privacy Policy

Godly Advisor · Last updated September 12, 2026

Godly Advisor is a voice app. You talk with Gabriel, an AI advisor grounded in the Bible, and Gabriel talks back. To do that, the app has to handle some of your personal information. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we will never do with it — in plain words, not legal jargon.

We know free apps built around something as personal as your faith life have been caught selling user data before. We built this app knowing that history, and we run it differently.

We will never sell your data.

Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. That is the whole sentence, and there is no fine print under it.

What we collect, and why

An anonymous ID. Until you sign in — and on the installed Android app that is everyone, because sign-in is not wired there yet — the app creates a random identifier on your phone. No name, no email, nothing about who you are. That ID is what lets Gabriel remember your conversations between visits.
Your name and email, if you sign in. The web version has a “Continue with Google” button. It is entirely your choice, and if you never press it we never learn any of this. If you do, Google tells us your name, your email address and your Google profile picture, and we keep those three things so the account is yours and Gabriel’s memory can follow you to another device. We never see your Google password.
Your conversation transcripts. We keep a written record of your conversations with Gabriel — tied to the anonymous ID, or to your account once you sign in — so he can remember what you have talked about before and give guidance that fits your life. Gabriel also keeps a short private note of what matters to you (a name if you share one, a situation you are carrying) for the same reason. You can erase all of it — see deleting your data.
Your device timezone. When a conversation starts, your phone tells us which timezone it is in, so that the daily limit on conversation time resets at your midnight rather than somewhere else’s. The daily verse and the calendar of observances (Advent, Easter, Christmas, and more) go by your phone’s own date, and your reminders are scheduled by your phone itself.
Anonymous usage counts. We count events like “a conversation started” and “a reply took this many seconds” so we can tell whether the app is working well. These counts never include what anyone said, use only a one-way scrambled form of the anonymous ID, and expire from our analytics within about 90 days.

That is the full list. We do not collect your contacts, your photos, your location, or your browsing history — and if you never sign in, we never learn your name or your email either. There are no advertising trackers in this app, and there never will be.

Coming later: subscriptions. When paid subscriptions launch, we will learn from Google Play whether your subscription is active — never your card details. This policy will be updated before that happens, and the promise above will not change.

Your voice

When you talk to Gabriel, the app never uploads your audio. Your phone’s own speech service — the same system service the keyboard’s microphone uses — turns your words into text (how that service works is governed by your phone’s speech settings), and only the text reaches us. On the web version, your browser’s built-in speech recognition does the same job.

What we keep is the written transcript, as described above — never a recording of your voice.

Who helps us run the app

Like nearly every app, we use a few companies to make things work. Each one processes only what it needs for its job:

Cloudflare (USA) — hosts the app and stores our database, including your transcripts. Their AI also reads your question in order to search the Bible for the verses that fit it.
Anthropic — powers Gabriel’s AI conversation. The text of what you say is sent to Anthropic to generate Gabriel’s reply.
ElevenLabs — turns Gabriel’s replies (his words, never yours) into a voice.
Google — only if you choose to sign in. Signing in tells Google that you use this app, and tells us your name, email and profile picture. Nothing you say to Gabriel is ever sent to Google.

These companies work for us under their own privacy and security commitments. Some of them process data in the United States, so your data may be stored or processed there. None of them may sell your data, and neither may we. We do not use your conversations to train AI models, and our providers are not permitted to either.

Two small technical notes, in the spirit of listing everything: the app’s fonts load from Google Fonts, which — like any website resource — sees standard connection data such as your IP address. And the audio of Gabriel’s spoken replies is cached so a repeated phrase does not cost us twice. We keep those clips indefinitely, and it makes no difference to you: a clip is filed under a fingerprint of the sentence Gabriel said, with nothing written down about who asked for it or heard it. Your own words are never in there.

How long we keep your data

We keep your transcripts and Gabriel’s memory note for as long as you use the app, because that is what lets Gabriel remember your conversations. If you are signed in, “Delete my data” in Settings erases them straight away. If you email us instead, it is done within 30 days. Voice audio is never kept at all — the app never records or uploads it in the first place.

Two things deleting does not reach

Deleting clears your conversations and Gabriel’s memory note. Two things sit outside it, and we would rather tell you here than let you assume otherwise.

An answer you reported. If you ever tapped “report” on one of Gabriel’s replies, we keep that question and that answer so a person can read it and put right whatever went wrong. Deleting your data does not remove it — and the reason is the whole point. When you report an answer we write down no ID, no name, no email, nothing at all about who sent it. Your deletion request cannot reach it because there is nothing on it to match your request against. If you would still rather it were gone, email us with roughly when you reported it and what it was about, and we will find it by hand and delete it.

A conversation you had before signing in. That one belongs to the anonymous ID that was on your phone, not to your account, so deleting your account does not reach it. Email us that ID and we will erase it too — but note the ID down before you sign out or delete your data: Settings shows it whether or not you are signed in, and signing out of an account clears this phone as it goes, ID included. The deletion page walks through it.

Your rights

Your data belongs to you. At any time, you can:

See your data. Email us and we will send you a copy of what we hold.
Delete your data. Full instructions are on our data deletion page.

Depending on where you live, the law may give you more rights than these (such as correcting your data or taking a copy elsewhere). Email us and we will honor them.

Children

Godly Advisor is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child is using the app, email us and we will delete the associated data.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change meaningfully affects how we handle your data, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
