Privacy policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Paper Eden: Daily Bible Puzzle ("Paper Eden", "the app") is published by Codable Inc. ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app stores, what leaves your device, who receives it and what you can do about it.
The short version
- There is no account and no sign-in, and we run no server that stores your data. Your progress, your cards and your prayer journal are kept on your device.
- The daily verse has no ads. The endless levels show ads from Google AdMob, and a few extras are offered in exchange for watching a video. Google receives device and advertising identifiers to do this.
- We use AppsFlyer to learn how people found the app and which features are used. It receives device identifiers and a short list of app events, never the text of a prayer.
- Purchases are handled by Apple or Google. RevenueCat confirms them for the app. We never see your card details.
- You can refuse personalized ads and still use everything in the app.
What stays on your device
The app saves the following in its own storage on your phone or tablet. None of it is sent to us or to our partners.
- Puzzle progress: solved verses, stars, streaks, coins and hints, cards collected, monthly murals and the verse memory schedule.
- Your prayer journal: the prayers you write, their dates and whether you marked them answered.
- Settings: sound, the reminder time, and whether you have seen the welcome screens.
- Pictures the app renders for widgets and wallpapers.
If you have device backups turned on (iCloud Backup on Apple devices, Google backup on Android), this data may be included in your own backup under your Apple or Google account. We have no access to those backups. Deleting the app deletes the data from the device.
What leaves your device, and who receives it
We do not operate our own servers for this app. The app includes software from the companies below, and they receive data directly from your device.
| Partner | Why | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob and Google's consent tool | Showing ads, limiting how often you see one, measuring ad performance, fraud prevention, recording your consent choice | Advertising identifier (IDFA on Apple devices when you allow tracking, the advertising ID on Android), other device identifiers, IP address and the rough location it implies, device and app information, which ads were shown and tapped, diagnostics, your consent choice |
| AppsFlyer | Install attribution (which link or ad led to an install) and basic usage measurement | Device identifiers (including the advertising identifier where permitted), IP address, device and app information, install source, and app events such as "daily puzzle completed", "hint used", "prayer added" or "purchase made", plus estimated ad revenue. Events carry no verse answers and no prayer text. |
| Apple App Store or Google Play | Processing a purchase of Paper Eden Plus | Your store account and payment details, handled under the store's own terms. We never receive them. |
| RevenueCat | Confirming a purchase and restoring it on a new device | A random app user ID, purchase and subscription status, store receipts, country, device and app information |
These partners act under their own privacy policies: how Google uses data from apps that use its services, AppsFlyer, RevenueCat, Apple and Google.
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not share it with anyone other than the partners above.
Advertising
The daily verse, its reflection and prayer never show ads. Ads appear in the endless levels (a banner and an occasional full-screen ad between levels), as optional videos you choose to watch for a reward, and now and then when you return to the app after a break. Paper Eden Plus removes them.
Ads can be personalized, which means chosen using your advertising identifier and your activity in other apps, or non-personalized, which means chosen from context only. Which kind you see depends on your choices:
- On iPhone and iPad the system asks whether the app may track you. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", the app has no access to your advertising identifier.
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested. You can change your answer at any time under Me, Privacy choices.
- In US states with privacy laws you can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising under Me, Privacy choices.
- On any device you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or switch off ad personalization, in the system settings.
Permissions the app asks for
- Notifications, for the optional morning reminder. Reminders are scheduled on the device; nothing is sent to a server.
- Add to Photos (Apple devices), only when you save a wallpaper. The app can add a picture and cannot read your library.
- Tracking (Apple devices), described above.
- Set wallpaper (Android), only when you ask the app to set one.
When you share a card, the picture goes to the app you pick in the share sheet and nowhere else.
Legal bases
Where European or UK data protection law applies, we rely on your consent for personalized advertising and for measurement that uses device identifiers, on our legitimate interests for fraud prevention, basic measurement and keeping the app working, and on performance of a contract for purchases.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of personal data about you, to object to or restrict its use, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority. Residents of some US states may also opt out of targeted advertising and of the sale or sharing of personal information.
Because we hold no account for you and no data on servers of our own, most of these choices are made on your device or with our partners:
- Change your advertising consent under Me, Privacy choices, where that option is shown for your region.
- Delete everything the app stores by deleting the app.
- Ask AppsFlyer to stop measuring your device or to delete its data using its opt-out form.
- Manage how Google personalizes ads at My Ad Center.
You can also write to us at support@papereden.app. We will answer and pass your request to the relevant partner. We may need your device's advertising or AppsFlyer ID to do that, since we have no other way to identify you. We will not treat you differently for using any of these rights.
How long data is kept
Data on your device stays until you delete the app. Our partners keep the data they receive for the periods set out in their own policies.
International transfers
Our partners process data in the United States and other countries, which may have different data protection rules from the country you live in. Where required, they rely on standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
Children
Paper Eden is made for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the app in a way that sent personal information to our partners, write to us and we will help have it deleted.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this page and the date at the top. A significant change will also be noted in the app's release notes.
