Legal & Data Transparency
Privacy Policy
🔒 100% On-Device Processing
Selah processes your active media, text, or geometric calculations locally on your physical hardware.
🚫 Zero Account Tracking
No account registration, login credentials, email scraping, or user profiling is required to use the Application.
🛡️ Safe Third-Party Practices
Diagnostics, app stability, and optional advertising are handled via industry-standard Google Play Services and AdMob.
1. Overview & Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile software application Selah: Candlelit Scripture (the "Application"), developed and published by Corvas ("we," "our," or "Service Provider").
We are dedicated to building privacy-respecting, high-performance creator tools and utilities. We believe that your creative work, device files, and private inputs belong strictly to you. This document provides a declarative, transparent disclosure of how the Application handles device hardware, permissions, and diagnostic data.
2. Architecture & Data Handling Architecture
To avoid ambiguity, we explicitly delineate data handling across four distinct operational boundaries:
A. Personal Information Collected Directly by Developer
None. Selah requires ZERO accounts, ZERO logins, and ZERO personal information.
B. Data Processed Locally On Your Device (Never Uploaded)
All scripture text, bookmarks, reading progress, notes, and private prayer journals are stored strictly within the private local sandbox on your phone.
C. Data Transmitted to Our Backend
NONE. Selah has NO analytics tracking, NO behavioral telemetry, and NO remote logging.
D. Diagnostic & Advertising Data Collected Automatically by Third Parties
When you download and use the Application, standard operating telemetry may be generated by certified third-party SDKs (such as Google Play Services, Firebase Crashlytics, and Google AdMob). This may include anonymous device identifiers, Android OS build, hardware architecture, screen resolution, and crash stack traces.
Device Permissions & Data Access
To provide its core features, Selah may request the following device permissions:
Purpose: Permits offline audio playback of scripture narration through device speakers or headphones.
Data Handling: Audio assets are packaged with the app or stored locally.
Third-Party Service Providers & SDKs
The Application relies on trusted third-party service providers solely for core functionality, advertising (where applicable), and app stability monitoring. These providers collect diagnostic or advertising device tokens according to their respective privacy policies:
| Service | Function / Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Services | Required by the Android operating system for standard application distribution and updates. | View Policy ↗ |
3. Advertising & Commercialization
Selah is 100% AD-FREE. It does NOT integrate Google AdMob or any other advertising network. Your scripture contemplation is completely sacred, quiet, and private.
Product-Specific Disclosures & Clarifications
Public Domain Scripture & Personal Reflection
The King James Version (KJV) text utilized in Selah is in the public domain. Selah is an independent study companion designed for peaceful reflection and contemplation. Notes and prayer journal entries are private to your physical device.
4. Data Retention, Local Storage & Deletion
Because the Application does not maintain user accounts on remote servers, your files, documents, settings, and outputs reside exclusively on your physical mobile device. You have absolute control over this data at all times:
- Local Deletion: You can delete exported files or documents at any time using your device's file manager or gallery.
- App Cache & Storage Reset: Navigating to Android Settings > Apps > Selah > Storage > Clear Storage immediately purges all local cached data.
- Uninstall: Uninstalling the Application permanently removes all sandboxed preferences and internal application files.
5. Children's Privacy
The Application does not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in applicable jurisdictions). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to third-party SDKs through the app, please contact us and we will assist in taking appropriate corrective steps.
6. User Rights (GDPR / CCPA / International Regulations)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may hold specific legal rights regarding personal data, including rights of access, rectification, objection to processing, and erasure. Because we do not associate your use of the app with your identity, we cannot query or provide records tied to you. However, you can manage diagnostic and ad personalization preferences directly through your Android device settings (Google > Ads > Delete advertising ID).
7. Contact Information & Policy Updates
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates, new platform guidelines, or legal obligations. Significant revisions will be reflected with a revised "Effective Date" at the top of this document.
