Effective September 11, 2026.
This policy describes the TOT Bible app, initially distributed by Cade Muhlig in association with Abiding Place Ministries. For privacy questions, contact totbible@abidingplace.org.
Your study content
TOT Bible does not require a separate app account. Bible searches and word lookups run on your device. The app does not send your search text or personal study content to us as part of normal reading and study.
Your device stores notes, bookmarks, highlights, notebooks, photos and drawings added to notebooks, folders, reading plans, your reading marker, history, searches, and preferences. Recovery copies and synchronization records help prevent loss of saved work.
Optional iCloud sync
If you enable iCloud sync, supported study data is stored in your private iCloud database and synchronized to enabled devices using the same Apple Account. This is not public sharing with other users. Apple processes iCloud data under its own privacy terms.
Turning sync off does not delete local data or copies already in iCloud. Recovery versions and synchronization records may retain earlier or deleted content; deleting a visible item is not necessarily a complete purge of all copies.
Online audio
The app checks an online podcast catalog and streams recordings through Spotify for Creators/Anchor and its delivery providers. These requests expose network information, including your IP address and the requested catalog or recording, to those providers. Audio can continue loading during background playback.
The audio providers may process and retain connection or listening information under their own privacy practices. Bible reading and bundled study resources do not require streaming.
Photos, drawings, backups, and sharing
Photos and drawings you add become part of your notebook and may be included in enabled iCloud sync and backups. Exports and restorable backups may contain personal study content. When you share a file or notebook, the destination you choose receives that content.
Device backups may contain app data depending on your Apple settings. Removing the app may remove local work but does not necessarily remove iCloud data, device backups, exports, or shared copies.
Your choices and deletion
You can use the app without enabling iCloud sync, edit or remove saved items, export backups, and use Settings → Manage Data → Back up or remove saved data. Read confirmation screens carefully before removing data. Previously exported or shared copies must be managed separately. Contact us for questions about information you have sent directly to support.
Support messages and external websites
If you email support, we receive your email address and the information you include, and use it to respond and investigate the issue. Avoid sending private notes or images unless needed. This policy describes the app; external websites, including the ministry website, may use separate cookies, analytics, and privacy practices.
Advertising and analytics
The app does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs. This does not mean its external audio host receives no network information.
Policy updates
We may update this policy when the app or its data handling changes. The effective date above identifies the current policy.
