4. How we use AI

HeavenRise uses AI service providers to write devotionals, suggested prompts, chat replies and translations. To do this, we send the information needed for the request, such as your reflection answers, your chosen translation and language, and the messages you send in Ask HeavenRise, to our AI provider, [OpenAI], through its API. We send only what is needed for each request.

[Confirm against your provider’s current terms, then keep or edit this sentence: Under its API terms, information sent through the API is not used to train the provider’s models by default and is kept only for a limited time for safety and abuse monitoring.]

Scripture text is not written by AI. Verse text comes from Bible translations supplied by our Bible text provider. AI-written content can contain mistakes; please see our Terms of Use.

Your Ask HeavenRise history is kept on your device. [Confirm whether messages are also stored on your servers, and for how long.]

We share personal information only as described here. We do not sell your personal information.

Service providers that help us run HeavenRise, who may process information only on our behalf: Supabase (database, sign-in, file storage and server functions), [OpenAI] (AI), Apple (Sign in with Apple, push notifications and App Store subscriptions), [Google (Google Sign-In and Google Play) if you use them], and our Bible text provider, which receives requests for Scripture text but not your account details.
Together Mode: if you use Together Mode, the answers and content you choose to share are visible to the other person. You control what you share.
Legal and safety: when needed to comply with the law, respond to valid legal requests, protect people’s safety, or protect our rights.
Business changes: if HeavenRise is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale, your information may be transferred, and we will tell you if that changes how it is handled.
With you or at your direction: for example, when you share a verse using your device’s share sheet, it goes where you send it.
