Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Verseable. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use the Verseable sermon study app, and names every third-party service we rely on so you know exactly where your data goes.

If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use the application.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

  • Name and email address (account registration or waitlist sign-up)
  • Church name and affiliation (when joining or registering a church on Verseable)
  • Sermon session details created by pastors (title, date, scripture reference)
  • Voice recordings you make of your own reflections and notes
  • Text notes, journal entries, and scripture annotations you write
  • Questions you ask through Pastor Mode and Scholar Mode

Information collected automatically

  • Device type, operating system, and app version
  • Feature usage and session activity (pages visited, recordings made)
  • Crash reports and performance diagnostics

3. Third-Party Services We Use

Verseable is built on a stack of third-party services. The table below names each one, what it does, and what data it receives. By using Verseable you agree to the privacy policies of these providers.

Supabase

Database & Auth

Supabase is our primary backend. It stores your account details, church and sermon session data, journal entries, notes, and recording metadata. It also handles user authentication (sign-in, sign-up, password reset).

Data sent: Email, name, church affiliation, journal entries, notes, session data, recording metadata. Audio files are stored in Supabase Storage.

Groq (Whisper)

Transcription

We use Groq to run OpenAI's Whisper transcription model. When you finish a voice recording, the audio file is sent to Groq's API to be converted into text. That transcript is then saved to your journal in Supabase.

Data sent: Your audio recording. Groq processes it and returns a text transcript. Audio is not stored by Groq after processing.

OpenAI

AI (Pastor & Scholar Mode)

Pastor Mode and Scholar Mode are powered by OpenAI's language models. When you ask a question, we send relevant context — including your question, the sermon transcript excerpt, and the scripture reference — to OpenAI's API to generate a response.

Data sent: Your question and relevant excerpts from your journal or sermon session. We do not send your full journal history unless you explicitly include it. OpenAI's API does not use API-submitted data to train models by default.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your account and church membership
  • To transcribe your voice note recordings using Groq/Whisper
  • To generate AI responses in Pastor Mode and Scholar Mode using OpenAI
  • To link your recordings and reflections to your church's active sermon session
  • To store and sync your journal, notes, and session history via Supabase
  • To generate PDF exports of your sermon notes
  • To send account-related emails (confirmation, password reset, waitlist updates)
  • To improve the reliability and performance of the app

5. Your Spiritual Content

Your voice notes, journal entries, and AI conversations contain personal and spiritual content. We treat this data with care:

  • We do not sell your spiritual content to advertisers or third parties.
  • We do not use your journal entries or AI conversations to train our own models.
  • OpenAI's API (used for Pastor Mode and Scholar Mode) does not use API-submitted data to train its models by default, per their enterprise API terms.
  • Audio recordings are sent to Groq for transcription only and are not retained by Groq after processing.
  • Church pastors can see aggregate engagement data for their sessions (e.g. how many members recorded) but cannot read individual members' journal entries or recordings.

6. Data Security

Your data is stored in Supabase, which provides encrypted storage, row-level security policies, and SOC 2 Type II compliance. All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.

No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at privacy@verseable.com.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Export your journal entries and notes
  • Withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@verseable.com.

8. Changes to This Policy

We will update this policy when we add new third-party services or change how we handle data. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of Verseable after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
