Privacy Policy

NomNomSom, LLC · Effective July 24, 2026

Renew is a Scripture meditation app made by NomNomSom, LLC ("we," "us"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Renew apps and the website at renewapp.io (the "Service").

The short version: what you share with Renew — how your heart is feeling, your prayers — is spiritual and personal. We use it only to run the app for you. We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising.

1. Information we collect

• Account information. If you sign in with Google or Apple: your name, email address, and profile photo, plus an account identifier. Guest mode requires no account — guest preferences and history stay in your browser or device storage.
• Preferences and activity in the app. Your chosen narration voice, gender, Bible translation, playback settings, saved meditations, and your emotional check-ins (the feelings you select and how often). Signed-in users' data is stored with their account; guests' stays on the device.
• Prayer requests and feedback. The text you write when you add a prayer request or send a suggestion, stored with your account (or a device key for guests).
• Subscription status. Whether you have Renew Pro, managed through RevenueCat using an account identifier or a non-personal anonymous purchase identifier when you subscribe as a guest. Payments are processed by Apple App Store, Google Play, or Stripe; your card number never reaches our servers.
• Usage information. App events (for example: passage played, meditation generated) with your account or a guest label, and standard analytics collected via Google Analytics for Firebase (device type, approximate location from IP, app version). We use this to understand what's working and to prevent abuse.
• Notifications. If you allow notifications, a device-scoped push subscription or token so we can tell you when a meditation is ready and send occasional Scripture reminders. You can turn notifications off in Renew Settings or your browser or device settings.

2. A note on sensitive information

By its nature, Renew touches religious and emotional life: the emotions you check in with, and the prayers you write. We treat this as sensitive. It is used only to provide the Service — selecting passages, generating meditations, showing your history back to you — and for nothing else. We do not sell it, share it for advertising, or use it to build profiles for third parties.

3. How we use information

• To provide and personalize the Service (select passages for your mood, generate narration and meditations, remember your preferences and favorites).
• To operate subscriptions, enforce plan limits, and prevent abuse.
• To improve the app through aggregate usage analytics.
• To respond when you contact us.

4. Service providers we share data with

We use a small set of processors to run Renew. They receive only what's needed for their function:

• Google Firebase (Google LLC) — sign-in, database, file storage, hosting, notifications, and analytics.
• RevenueCat — subscription management (your account or anonymous purchase identifier and subscription state).
• Apple App Store, Google Play, and Stripe — payment processing for Renew Pro on their respective platforms (your payment details go directly to the processor).
• ElevenLabs — text-to-speech. Receives the text to narrate (Scripture and meditation scripts), not your identity.
• xAI Grok — generates meditation and reading scripts and study notes. They receive the passage and context such as the selected mood and listener gender — not your name, email, or prayer requests.
• Bible text providers (API.Bible, bible-api.com) — supply Scripture text for the translation you choose.

We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it with third parties for their own advertising or marketing.

5. Retention and deletion

Your data is kept while your account is active. Settings → Delete account permanently deletes your profile and preferences, favorites, prayer requests, suggestions, activity events, and your login itself. Payment and subscription records are retained by the applicable store or payment processor and RevenueCat as required for financial record-keeping. Guest data lives on your device — clearing site data (or the in-app cache controls) removes it.

6. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and stored with Google Cloud's protections. Server secrets are held in managed secret storage, and access to production data is limited. No system is perfectly secure, but we design for least access.

7. Children

Renew is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Where data is processed

We are based in the United States and process data there. If you use Renew from elsewhere, you understand your information is processed in the U.S.

9. Your choices and rights

• Use guest mode to keep everything on your device.
• Edit or delete prayer requests and favorites in the app; delete your account entirely in Settings.
• Decline notifications, or revoke them in your browser or device settings.
• Email us to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you. Depending on where you live you may have additional statutory rights, and we'll honor valid requests.

10. Changes to this policy

We'll update this policy as the Service evolves, and update the effective date above. For material changes we'll take reasonable steps to notify you in the app.
