Dayly — Privacy Policy

What Dayly collects, what it doesn't, and what you can switch off.

The short version

  • There is no account. Dayly never asks for your name, email, or phone number, and we have no way to work out who you are.
  • Your verses and progress live on your device, not on our servers.
  • No ads, and no advertising or tracking SDKs of any kind.
  • Anonymous community statistics are on by default. They're what powers the Community screen. You can turn them off at any time in Settings → Privacy, and nothing further is sent.
  • We never sell or share your data.

1. What stays on your device

The verses you save, your practice history and review schedule, your streak of activity, your chosen Bible translation, your language, and your settings are all stored locally on your phone. They are not uploaded to us. If you uninstall Dayly, they are gone.

Once a verse is saved, practicing it works completely offline. Only looking up a new verse needs a connection.

2. Anonymous community statistics

Dayly shows a Community screen — how many people are memorizing today, which verses are most practiced, how many countries are represented. That screen is built from anonymous events contributed by the people using the app.

This is on by default. You can turn it off whenever you like in Settings → Privacy. Turning it off stops the app sending anything immediately; you can still read the Community screen.

While it is on, Dayly sends an event when you add a verse, complete a review, memorize a verse, or finish a meditation. Each event contains only:

What's sentExampleWhy
A random install ID k3f9x2ap7q1m Generated on your device the first time you open Dayly. It is not your name, your account, or your phone's advertising ID, and it isn't linked to anything that identifies you. It lets us count "people" rather than "events".
What happened review_done One of: verse added, review done, verse memorized, meditation done.
The verse reference John 3:16 Powers "most-practiced verse" and "most-practiced book".
Translation and language ESV, en Powers the translation and language counts.
Seconds spent 120 Only for meditation, to total up minutes spent.
Your country SG Worked out on our server from the network address the request arrives on, and stored only as a two-letter country code. The address itself is never stored — it is used to determine the country and, in hashed form, to block abuse.

That is the complete list. No name, no email, no phone number, no contacts, no photos, no precise location, and no advertising identifier.

Because these events are anonymous, we genuinely cannot connect them to you — which also means that if you asked us to delete "your" statistics, we would have no way to find them. Switching the setting off stops any further data being sent, and uninstalling the app destroys the random install ID for good.

3. Looking up a verse

When you add a verse, Dayly asks our Bible service for the passage, sending the reference and the translation you picked. That service exists to cache Bible text so we don't hammer the Bible publishers; it does not store your network address and does not keep a record of who asked for what.

4. Listening to a verse

If you play a verse aloud, the audio is streamed from Crossway's ESV audio servers (audio.esv.org). Your device contacts Crossway directly, so — as with loading any web page — they will see your network address. Crossway's own privacy policy governs that request.

5. iCloud sync (iPhone and iPad only)

On Apple devices, Dayly can keep your verses and settings in step across your own devices using Apple's iCloud. That data sits in your Apple account, under Apple's privacy policy. We cannot see it, and it never reaches our servers.

Android has no equivalent, so there is no cloud sync there — you can move your verses between devices by exporting and importing a backup file yourself.

6. Reminders

Practice reminders are scheduled by your phone, on your phone. There is no push server, and we are not told whether you opened one.

7. What Dayly never does

  • No adverts.
  • No advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs from third parties.
  • No selling, renting, or sharing of data with anyone.
  • No accounts, passwords, or sign-in.
  • No crash-reporting or session-replay tools.
  • No precise location — only the country your request arrives from.
  • No access to your contacts, photos, microphone, or camera.

8. Children

Dayly is not directed at children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone — children included. It has no account system, no chat, no user-generated content, and no advertising.

9. Your choices

  • Stop contributing statistics: Settings → Privacy → turn off. Immediate.
  • Delete everything: uninstall Dayly. All verses, history, and settings on the device are removed with it.
  • Ask us anything: [email protected].

10. Changes to this policy

If we change how Dayly handles data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will also be called out in the app's release notes.
