This Privacy Policy explains how GraceRest (“GraceRest,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the GraceRest mobile app for iOS and Android. GraceRest is a Christian sleep, prayer, scripture, psalms, worship ambience, and peaceful sounds app. We have designed GraceRest to be private by default.
Information We Collect
GraceRest is built to collect as little information as possible. The app does not require an account, and we do not ask you to create a profile or sign in to use it. We do not sell user data, and we do not use third-party advertising.
We do not directly collect personal information such as your name, address, or contacts through the app. The limited information described below is either stored only on your device, handled by the app stores, or shared by you when you email us.
Local Device Data
To make the app work and remember your preferences, GraceRest may store certain settings locally on your device, including:
- Favorites you save
- Sleep timer choices
- Volume level
- Other app preferences
This information stays on your device. It is not transmitted to us and is not used to identify you. You can clear it at any time using the in-app options or by removing the app.
Purchases and Subscriptions
Premium purchases and subscriptions, once enabled, are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, not directly by GraceRest. We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Your purchase, billing, and refund information is handled by Apple or Google under their respective terms and privacy policies. We may receive limited, non-identifying information about whether an entitlement is active so the app can unlock premium content for you.
Support Emails
If you contact us at support@gracerest.org, we will receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you and to provide support. We do not use support emails for advertising.
Analytics and Diagnostics
We may use standard app store analytics and crash/diagnostic information provided by Apple or Google (for example, aggregate download statistics or crash reports). This information helps us understand app stability and improve GraceRest. It is provided through the app stores’ own tools and is generally aggregated or de-identified. GraceRest does not include third-party advertising trackers.
Children’s Privacy
GraceRest is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact support@gracerest.org and we will take appropriate steps.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. Information may be handled by the app stores (Apple, Google) for purchases, downloads, and analytics as described above, and may be disclosed if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the service.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information associated with GraceRest. Because the app does not require an account and keeps preferences on your device, the amount of information at risk is limited by design. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You can manage your privacy in several ways:
- Clear favorites, timer, volume, and preferences in the app or by removing the app.
- Manage subscriptions and purchases through your Apple App Store or Google Play account.
- Control app diagnostics and analytics sharing in your device’s system settings.
- Contact us with any privacy questions or requests.
Not Medical Treatment
GraceRest provides peaceful Christian audio content for rest, prayer, and reflection. The app is not medical treatment and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. If you have health or sleep concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” above. Your continued use of GraceRest after an update means you accept the revised policy.
