Overview
Calvary Compass has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, and no advertising. It collects no personal information about you and does not track you across apps or websites. Its App Store privacy declaration is “Data Not Collected”.
What stays on your device
Everything personal you create stays on your iPhone or iPad: your listening history and resume positions, saved teachings, playlists, downloaded audio, study notes, highlighted verses, chosen translation, app icon, and opening screen.
None of it is uploaded, backed up to our servers, or shared with anyone, because there are no servers. We never see it.
The Bible, commentaries, and maps work offline
All nine Bible translations, all six commentaries, the cross-reference set, and the place list are bundled inside the app itself. Reading Scripture, opening a commentary, or writing a note never touches the network.
Connections the app does make
- Ministry feeds and audio: teachings are fetched and streamed directly from each ministry's own publicly published podcast feed and media host. Those hosts can see the network request in their own logs, exactly as they would if you subscribed in Apple Podcasts. We do not proxy, mirror, or record any of it.
- Apple Maps: the Places tab uses Apple's MapKit to draw map tiles, so map use is subject to Apple's privacy policy.
- Nothing else. The app contains no analytics, attribution, crash-reporting, or advertising SDK of any kind.
Permissions
Calvary Compass requests no permissions. It does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, microphone, or notifications, and it does not request tracking permission because it does not track.
Children
The app is rated 4+ and does not knowingly collect information from children, or from anyone else.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the effective date above changes with it, and a material change will be surfaced in the app.
