We believe your journal entries are between you and God. Here's exactly how we protect them.
Effective July 7, 2025The key points, no legalese required.
Journal data lives on your device. iCloud sync is optional and encrypted.
AI providers cannot log, store, or train on your journal entries. Ever.
We track app usage with PostHog — never your journal entries, prayers, or personal text.
Delete everything at any time, right from the app or by contacting us.
Walk With Jesus collects only what's needed to deliver the experience you expect. Here's what that includes:
Stored locally on your device. Optionally synced via iCloud to your personal Apple account. Never sent to our servers.
Optional and only if you choose to provide them. Stored separately with no association to your other data.
iOS version, device model, and UUID — used solely for app stability and support.
Anonymized performance and crash reports. No journal content is ever included.
Used only to deliver your daily journaling reminders. You control when and if you receive them.
Handled entirely by Apple. We only receive confirmation a purchase was made — never your payment details.
We use the information collected to:
We never sell your data. We never share your journal content with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes.
When you write a journal entry and request verse suggestions, your text is sent to an AI service through OpenRouter — a routing provider that connects to language models. We use OpenRouter in organization mode, which enforces strict data handling rules on every provider in the chain.
No AI provider in the chain is allowed to keep any record or log of your journal entries. Once processed, the data is gone.
Your words will never be used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model. Your reflections stay yours.
OpenRouter's organization mode contractually enforces that no downstream provider may retain or use your data.
The flow is simple: your journal text is sent, a verse and prayer are returned, and then your data is immediately discarded by every system in the chain.
Walk With Jesus can optionally sync your journal entries across your Apple devices using Apple iCloud. This feature is entirely opt-in.
When enabled, your data is stored in your personal iCloud storage and transferred in encrypted form. Apple manages the encryption and security of iCloud data. You can learn more about iCloud security and Apple's Privacy Policy.
You can disable iCloud sync at any time in the app's settings or through your device's iCloud preferences.
Walk With Jesus may send push notifications to remind you to journal at the time you choose. The notification content is generic — "Take a moment to reflect and write in your journal today." — and never references your journal entries.
You can opt out of push notifications at any time by visiting your device's notification settings.
All payments are processed through the Apple App Store. Walk With Jesus never collects, sees, or stores your payment information — credit card numbers, billing addresses, or bank details.
We only receive a confirmation from Apple that a purchase was completed. Apple's handling of payment data is governed by their own Privacy Policy.
We use Apple App Store Connect for aggregated, anonymized usage analytics. This helps us understand app performance, user engagement, and crash reports.
App Store Connect only collects data from users who have agreed to share analytics with app developers through their device settings. You can opt out at any time via Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements on your device.
We also use PostHog as a third-party analytics provider. PostHog collects only app usage data — such as which screens are visited and which features are used — to help us improve the experience. PostHog never collects any information you input, including journal entries, prayers, or any personal text. Your words remain private.
We do not use advertising trackers, data brokers, or any analytics SDKs that collect personal content. Your journal content is never included in any analytics data.
Only aggregated, anonymized data is transmitted to external services to help us improve the app. We may share your information with third parties only in these limited circumstances:
We will never share your journal entries with any third party for advertising, marketing, or data brokerage purposes.
We retain user-provided data only for as long as you use the app and for a reasonable period thereafter.
To request deletion of any data we hold, contact us at info@rationalbit.com and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correct any inaccurate personal information we have about you.
Request that we delete all personal data we hold about you.
Limit how we process your data — we'll only store it, nothing more.
Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Object to the processing of your data at any time.
You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@rationalbit.com.
You can stop all data collection by the app at any time by turning off analytics sharing in your device settings or by uninstalling the app.
Walk With Jesus does not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's internet usage. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at info@rationalbit.com so we can take the necessary actions.
You must be at least 16 years of age to consent to the processing of your personally identifiable information in your country (in some countries, your parent or guardian may do so on your behalf).
We take the confidentiality of your information seriously. Walk With Jesus employs physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the data we process and maintain.
API keys used by the app are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. All data transmitted between the app and external services is encrypted in transit. Biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID) adds an additional layer of protection to your journal.
This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally. We will notify you of any changes by updating this page with the new policy. You are advised to review this page regularly, as continued use of the app is deemed approval of all changes.
This privacy policy is effective as of July 7, 2025.
By using Walk With Jesus, you consent to the processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us in the future.
We're here to help. If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, reach out any time.
