Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Before ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our iOS application.

By using Before, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Data We Collect

We do not collect or store personal data like your name, email address, or IP address. However, certain information is collected automatically to improve the app's functionality and performance:

  • Crash logs (via Apple's diagnostics tools)
  • App usage data (via Apple and Superwall)
  • Device information (such as device model, iOS version, and language settings)

We also collect:

  • Religious preference (Christian-based prayer content)
  • Mood and spiritual check-in values (0-10 scale) for AI prayer personalization

2. Data Stored Locally

The following information is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers:

  • Your name (used for personalization within the app)
  • Prayer history and journal entries
  • Mood and spiritual check-in history
  • Prayer streak information
  • App preferences and settings
  • Selected apps for blocking

3. How We Use Your Data

We use this information to:

  • Monitor app performance
  • Diagnose bugs or crashes
  • Understand general user behavior (e.g., time spent in app, screen views)
  • Generate personalized AI prayers based on your mood input
  • Improve subscription experiences through Superwall

All analytics data is anonymized and is never used for advertising or sold to third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third-party tools to operate the app:

  • Apple App Store & Analytics – for purchases and usage insights
  • Apple Screen Time / Family Controls – for app blocking functionality (data stays on device)
  • Superwall – to manage subscriptions and present paywalls
  • OpenAI API – to generate AI-based prayers (only mood values sent, no personal data)

These providers may collect anonymized data according to their own privacy practices. No personally identifiable information is intentionally transmitted.

5. AI-Generated Content

Before uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized prayers. These are created automatically based on your mood and spiritual check-in values and are intended for devotional use only. No input is permanently stored or shared.

6. Your Privacy Controls

Since no user accounts are created, there is no user profile to delete. However:

  • Use the "Reset App Data" feature in Settings to delete all local data
  • Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data
  • Manage which apps are blocked through the app's settings
  • Manage or cancel your subscription through Apple ID Account Settings

If you wish to request the deletion of any analytics data, contact us at: support@trybefore.app

7. Children's Privacy

This app is rated 4+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware of unintentional data collection from a child, we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with a new "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes go into effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
