Privacy policy

Your study stays personal.

No ads. No third-party tracking. No selling your data.

Last updated July 27, 2026

Overview

Written is designed as a personal Bible reading and study app. The app does not sell your data, show third-party ads, or use third-party tracking.

Information you create

Notes, highlights, bookmarks, prayers, praises, gratitude entries, selected photos, memorization verses, reading progress, settings, and widget preferences are used only to provide app features. This content is kept on your device and, when available, in a private sync copy in your own Apple iCloud account.

Photos and notifications

Photos you choose for gratitude or praise entries are stored for display in the app, its widgets, and optional private iCloud sync. Written does not scan or upload your photo library. Any reminders you enable use local iOS notifications.

External services

Bible text, original-language word data, and study content are bundled or stored locally. Requested Bible audio is served through audio.writtenbible.com (or audio.centivize.cc in earlier app versions); optional commentary may be requested from bible.helloao.org. Those services may receive standard request details such as IP address and basic HTTP metadata. Written does not use those requests for advertising tracking.

Private iCloud sync

When iCloud is available, Written can keep a private copy of your study data and selected journal photos in your Apple CloudKit database so your devices stay in sync. It is not a developer-operated account or database.

Analytics and children

The Written app includes no third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or developer-operated crash reporting. Apple may share diagnostics if you opt in through iOS. This website uses Vercel Web Analytics to measure aggregate traffic such as page views and referrers without third-party cookies. Written is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children.

Deleting data and policy changes

You can remove content using in-app deletion controls. Synced deletions are reflected in private iCloud data when available. Apple account settings control iCloud storage and backups. This policy may change as Written changes; the updated date above will always reflect the latest version.
