Privacy
The privacy notice sets out what is collected, who processes it and how long it is kept.
Your notes, highlights and library belong to your account. The database itself stops other accounts seeing them unless you choose to share.
Imported files go to private storage for your account, and the original file is deleted once it has been processed.
Download your notes, highlights, library and settings from your profile at any time. You can disable your account, or delete it and everything in it.
The administrator provides one set of AI keys for every account, and AI use is logged to track cost. The assistant only runs when you ask it to.
When you import a book, its text is sent to an AI provider to make it searchable by meaning, and searching by meaning does the same for your notes. Providers may not train on any of it. Read the privacy notice

Every Bible reference in an answer is looked up in the app's own copy of the text, and the verse itself is shown beside the answer. A reference that does not exist, such as a chapter the book does not have, is clearly flagged. You still need to judge whether a real verse supports the point being made.
