Privacy Policy
The short version: Hexaleaf collects nothing about you.
Hexaleaf is a study Bible app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, published by Travis Porter (“we”). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Hexaleaf and this website.
1. We don’t collect your personal data
Hexaleaf has no ads, no tracking and no Hexaleaf account. We don’t run analytics or advertising tools in the app, and we don’t sell or share your data with anyone.
2. Your notes and study data stay with you
Your highlights, notes, study notebook, saved verses, prayer lists, reading plans, progress and settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is turned on, Hexaleaf syncs them through your own private iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit. That data lives in your iCloud account, covered by Apple’s privacy policy, and we can’t see or access it.
3. Apple Intelligence and Siri
Features like explaining a passage, chapter quizzes and note summaries use Apple Intelligence. These run on your device. For some requests Apple may use Private Cloud Compute, which Apple designs so that your data isn’t stored or made available to Apple or to us. Siri requests are handled by Apple. We never receive your questions or the answers.
4. Permissions Hexaleaf asks for
- Location (while using the app): Used only on your device to add where you were to a journal note, if you choose to. It’s never stored on our servers or shared. You can say no and every feature still works.
- Notifications: Used for reminders you choose, like your daily session or reading plan. Reminders are scheduled on your device.
- Camera and Photos: Used only when you scan a sermon bulletin. The text is read on your device and the image isn’t kept or sent anywhere.
5. Sharing you turn on
- Family and small-group progress: Off by default. If you turn it on, the people you invite see your display name and your progress. Nothing else is shared. You can stop sharing at any time.
- Shared plans and prayer lists: Shared only with the people you invite, through iCloud sharing.
- SharePlay: When you read together over FaceTime, Apple’s SharePlay passes the passage you’re on between your devices. We don’t receive it.
- Share a verse: Uses the standard iOS share sheet. What you share and where is up to you.
6. Crash reports
If you’ve chosen in iOS Settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports. They don’t identify you.
7. Children
Hexaleaf is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
8. This website
hexaleaf.app uses no cookies, analytics or tracking. It’s hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log visitors’ IP addresses for security under GitHub’s own privacy statement. If you email us, we use your message and email address only to reply, and we don’t add you to any list.
9. Deleting your data
Delete Hexaleaf to remove its data from that device. To remove synced data too, open Settings, tap your name, then iCloud, then Manage Storage, choose Hexaleaf and delete its data. You can also use Delete All My Data in Hexaleaf’s settings.
10. Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update it here and change the effective date. If a change affects how your data is handled, we’ll also tell you in the app.
