Privacy Policy — Selah: Bible Memory
Last updated: October 29, 2026
Wild Boar Studios ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Selah: Bible Memory mobile application. This page explains what data the app handles and how. We designed Selah to collect as little as possible.
The Short Version
- We do not collect your name, email, phone number, address, contacts, location, photos, or health data.
- We do not use any third-party advertising or tracking, and we do not track you across other apps or websites. We collect anonymous, first-party usage analytics (see below) tied only to a random on-device ID.
- You are identified only by an anonymous ID randomly generated on your device.
- Your memorized verses and review history stay on your device.
- Some optional Premium features send text you type to a third-party AI provider to generate results.
Anonymous Identifier
On first launch, the app generates a random anonymous identifier (a UUID). On iPhone and iPad it is stored in your device's Keychain. On Android it is stored in the app's private storage, included in your device's Android backup, and kept as a second copy in Google Play services' Block Store so that it can be restored if you reinstall Selah or move to a new device. It is not linked to your real-world identity, Apple ID, Google account, email, or any advertising identifier. We use it to associate your subscription status with your installation and to enforce fair-use limits on server features.
Purchases
If you subscribe to Selah Premium, we store your subscription status (free, monthly, or yearly) associated with your anonymous identifier. Payment processing is handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions: it receives your anonymous identifier and your purchase records from the store so that your subscription can be verified and restored. We never receive or store your credit card number or financial account details.
Content You Create
Your memorized verses, review history, progress, and statistics are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
AI-Powered Premium Features
Certain optional Premium features send text to our backend, which forwards it to our AI provider (OpenAI) to generate a response: the messages you type in the AI Review Coach, and the prompt you type in Verse Discovery. Please avoid entering sensitive personal information into these fields. This content is processed to produce your result and handled by OpenAI under their applicable terms.
Speech Recognition
If you choose to recite verses aloud, the app uses your device's speech recognition to check your recall. On iPhone and iPad this is Apple's Speech Recognition: where your device supports it, it runs on-device and audio is not sent anywhere; otherwise Apple may process the audio to produce a transcript. On Android, Selah uses only the device's on-device recognizer or Google's Speech Services, which is asked to recognize offline. We do not receive or store your audio.

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with data brokers or advertisers.
Usage Analytics
We collect first-party, anonymous usage analytics to understand how the app is used and to improve it — for example: when the app is opened, when a memorization session is completed, which features are used (such as verse discovery or the AI coach), and subscription events (such as starting or redeeming Premium). These analytics are associated only with your anonymous identifier, are stored on our own backend (Cloudflare), and are not shared with any third-party analytics or advertising service. They do not include your name, email, contacts, location, or the content of your verses. We do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA on Apple devices, the Advertising ID on Android) and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
Tracking
Selah does not track you across apps or websites and does not use an advertising identifier (IDFA or Android Advertising ID). We do not show ads.
Children's Privacy
Selah is a general-audience app and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because we do not collect names, emails, or contact information, the app does not gather personal details from users of any age.
Data Retention and Deletion
Your verses, review history, and progress are stored on your device; deleting the app removes them (on Android they may be kept in your device's Android backup until that backup is replaced or removed). Your anonymous identifier is designed to survive a reinstall so that your subscription is not lost: on Android it remains in Google Play services' Block Store and your device backup. To request deletion of the limited server-side data associated with your anonymous identifier (subscription status, usage analytics, and timestamps), email us at the address below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
