Scrollible Privacy Policy
Effective 21 October 2026
Scrollible is a Bible reading app. It has no advertising, and you never need an account: signing in is optional and only keeps your progress in step between phones (see Optional account). This page says what the app sends us, why, and how to stop it.
What the app collects
Usage statistics. As you use the app it notes things like which verses you read, save, share or read again, how long a session lasts, which settings you change, and whether you finished the tutorial. For each verse you read it also notes how long it was on screen, how you got to it (by scrolling, a jump, resuming, or auto-scroll), whether the sound was on, and the playback speed. For a search it notes only how many characters you typed and how many results came back, never the words. Each note carries a random install identifier that the app made up when it was first opened, and a random session identifier that is new each time the app starts. Neither identifier is your name, email, phone number, device serial, advertising identifier, or anything else that points at you, and we never combine them with data from other companies. The notes are sent with the device model, iOS or Android version and app version. We use these statistics to see which verses and features matter and to make the app better. You can turn them off at any time in Settings › More › Privacy › Usage Data. The app asks you about this once, after its tutorial, and nothing is sent until you have answered it.
Crash and diagnostic reports. If the app crashes, freezes, or is closed by the system unexpectedly, the next time it opens it sends us a report: the device model, iOS or Android version, app version, whether Low Power Mode (Battery Saver on Android) was on, how long the app had been open, a technical trace of where the app was, and a short log of what the app was doing beforehand (for example "opened Genesis 1:3", "download finished"). This log never contains anything you typed. Each report carries the same random install identifier as the usage statistics. These reports are sent even when usage statistics are off, because they are how we find and fix problems.
Reports you send us. If you report a verse or send a bug report from the app, we receive the text you wrote and, for a verse report, which verse it was about. Each report also carries the device model, iOS or Android version and app version. Please don't put personal details in a report unless you want us to have them.
Server logs. The pictures, audio and chapter text are downloaded from our servers. Like every web server, ours keep short-lived technical logs (your IP address, the time, what was requested) for operation and security. They are not used to profile you.
Announcements. Each time the app or its Home page opens (at most once a minute), the app checks our server for an announcement to show on Home. The check carries nothing about you or your reading.
Checking that the app is genuine. To protect the pictures and recordings from being copied in bulk, the iPhone app uses Apple's App Attest. The first time, your phone creates a key that exists only in this app on this phone, and Apple confirms that the key belongs to the genuine Scrollible app. The app sends our server that key's identifier and Apple's confirmation once; the confirmation contains no device identifier or personal information. After that, each chapter request carries a signature and a counter from that key, and a short-lived pass our server issued. None of this is linked to you or to your install identifier, and it is not used for advertising or tracking. Deleting the app deletes the key. Our server keeps that key's identifier, its public half, Apple's confirmation and the key's counters until the key has gone unused for 90 days, then deletes them. The Android app does not make this check yet; before it does, this section will say how it uses Google Play Integrity.
What stays on your device
Your preferences, reading progress, saved verses, downloaded pictures and audio, and the daily-reminder setting live on your phone. Deleting the app removes them. If you sign in (see Optional account), a copy of your reading progress, saved verses and settings is also kept on our servers. If you turn on a daily reminder, the notification is scheduled by the phone itself; nothing about it is sent to us. If you save a reel as a video, it is written to your camera roll only when you ask; the app does not read your photos. If you export your reading progress, the file stays on your phone unless you choose to share it, and importing one reads it on your phone without sending anything to us.
Optional account
You can use every part of Scrollible without an account. If you choose to sign in with Apple or Google, we keep a copy of your reading progress (which verses you have read, your history, where you left off, your reading days, streaks, goals and achievements, how long you read each day and in total, how many verses you have scrolled, and the hours of the day you read), your saved verses and your app settings (a Custom theme's colours included) on our servers, so they can follow you to another phone. Your searches, the time you spend in the app and your notification permission are never part of it.
We do not keep your email address or your name. From Apple or Google we receive a sign-in confirmation. Google's confirmation can include your email and name; our server reads only the user number in it and keeps neither. We turn that user number into an account number of our own, and keep that account number, which of the two you signed in with, and when the account was made. The account is not linked to your usage statistics or your install identifier.
Shared verse links
A verse you share from the app is a link such as scrollible.app/v/john-3-16. Opening it loads a web page that plays that verse's reel and lets the visitor scroll through the verses around it, as in the app. As they scroll, the page asks our servers for each chapter it needs (its words, pictures, voices and timing), and the address in the browser changes to the verse on screen. The page's own settings (theme, text size, playback speed and auto-scroll) are kept in the visitor's browser only if they change them, and are never sent to us. The box around the Scrollible mark on each reel links to the App Store (to Google Play on an Android phone, once the app is there), and the Save button, and a popup shown once the second reel has played, offer the same store links. The page sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads nothing from other companies. Our servers log those requests like any others (see Server logs above). To choose which Bible translation the page shows, our servers look up the country your IP address is in; the country is used only for that choice and is not stored.
Who else sees the data
Nobody, apart from the companies that host our servers and files (Vercel and Cloudflare), which process it on our behalf. If you sign in, Apple or Google confirms your sign-in to us as described under Optional account. We do not sell data, share it with advertisers, or use analytics or advertising SDKs from other companies.
If you leave a tip, Apple (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) processes the payment under its own terms; we receive no payment details and keep no record of it. On Android, Google Play also receives a scrambled form of the app's install identifier with each tip, which it uses to prevent fraud. On iPhone, Apple also checks that the app is genuine (App Attest), as described under Checking that the app is genuine. On Android, Google Play services handles Sign in with Google and the prompt that asks you to rate the app; on iPhone, Apple shows that prompt. We are not told what you choose in it.
How long we keep it
Usage statistics and crash reports are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted or reduced to totals that cannot be tied to an install. Reports you send are kept until the problem is resolved, or until you delete your data (see Your choices). An App Attest key's record (see Checking that the app is genuine) is deleted 90 days after the key was last used. An account and the progress kept with it are kept until you delete the account.
Your choices
- Turn usage statistics off in Settings › More › Privacy › Usage Data.
- To delete what this phone has sent us, tap Settings › More › Privacy › Delete My Data. It deletes the usage statistics and crash reports tied to your install identifier, and the reports you sent from this phone, from our servers straight away. The app then makes itself a new install identifier, so anything it sends afterwards cannot be tied to what was deleted. Totals that cannot be tied to any install, and the servers' short-lived technical logs, are not part of it.
- Or email support@scrollible.com and quote the install identifier shown under Settings › More › Privacy (tapping it copies it). We will delete the data tied to it within one month and tell you when it is done; we need nothing else from you. A report carries no install identifier, so to have one deleted by email, tell us roughly when you sent it and what it said. If the app is no longer on your phone, its identifier went with it, and because nothing we hold carries your name or email, we cannot tell which data was yours.
- If you signed in, tap Settings › Progress › Account › Delete Account to delete your account and the progress kept with it from our servers straight away. If you signed in with Apple, we also ask Apple to end Scrollible's sign-in for your Apple ID. Signing out instead leaves your progress on the phone and the account on our servers. Without the app, see scrollible.com/delete-account: email support@scrollible.com with the account ID shown under Account if you still have it, or else say whether you signed in with Apple or Google and roughly when; or sign in once on any phone and tap Delete Account.
- Delete the app to remove everything stored on the device.
Who we are
Scrollible is run by Scrollible LLC, Pennsylvania, USA, which decides how the data described here is used (in European terms, the data controller). Contact: support@scrollible.com.
Your rights, wherever you live
You can ask us for a copy of the data tied to your install identifier or account, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop using it, by email (see Your choices for what to quote). Most of this you can also do in the app yourself. We answer within one month, free of charge.
If you live in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland: we use usage statistics only with your consent, which you give or refuse when the app first asks and can withdraw at any time in Settings › More › Privacy › Usage Data. We use crash reports and keep your optional account's progress because they are needed to provide the app you asked for, and server logs and App Attest checks for our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Our servers and the companies that host them are in the United States and may process data in other countries. Where the law requires it, those transfers rely on the hosts' standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
Children
Scrollible is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has sent us any, email us and we will delete it.
The illustrations and the text
The illustrations are generated with AI tools from our own descriptions of each verse and reviewed by us. They are artistic interpretations, not historical records. The Bible text is the King James Version or the Berean Standard Bible, whichever you choose in Settings.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is shown here and in the app with a new effective date.
