PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 5 September 2026.
VerseBlock is operated by Sodhera Intelligence Private Limited, Satdobato, Lalitpur, Bagmati Province 44700, Nepal. Privacy and rights requests: privacy@sodhera.com. App support: admin@sodhera.com.
This Privacy Notice describes how and why we process personal information when you download or use VerseBlock (our Services), or contact us. In this notice, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Sodhera Intelligence Private Limited. Please read this notice to understand your privacy rights and choices.
1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE PROCESS?
VerseBlock offers religious, spiritual and secular reading routines without ranking beliefs. Source choices may reveal sensitive religious or philosophical beliefs; you choose them voluntarily.
| Information | Handling |
|---|---|
| Reading sources, languages, alarm names and settings | Stored on your device for readings and alarm delivery. Not uploaded to Supabase or RevenueCat. |
| Name, country and app language | Stored locally and in your basic Supabase profile when you use a live account. |
| Email and password | Sent securely to Supabase for authentication. The app does not save your password. Session and recovery tokens use device-only Keychain storage. |
| Location | Requested only when you select Use my location. Used temporarily to center Apple's globe and suggest a country. Coordinates and background location history are not saved by the app or uploaded to our backend. |
| Audio and transcripts | Apple's supported on-device speech recognition checks the displayed passage. The app does not save audio or transcripts and does not enable remote recognition fallback. |
| Subscription information | RevenueCat processes a user identifier and transaction/entitlement information to provide purchases, restoration and access. Apple processes App Store payments. We do not receive card or bank details. |
| Support and technical information | Your correspondence is used to answer you. Providers may process IP addresses, request times and diagnostics to deliver and secure their services. |
2. HOW AND WHY DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
We use account, profile and purchase information to provide the service you request. Limited technical and support information helps operate the service, prevent abuse and resolve problems. Where applicable, our legal grounds are performance of our contract, legitimate interests in a secure service, legal obligations, and consent for optional processing that requires consent.
Location and microphone permissions are optional and can be withdrawn in iOS Settings. Manual country selection remains available. Without microphone permission or supported on-device recognition, recitation checking is unavailable; an emergency alarm stop remains available.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use beliefs for advertising. No app-authored advertising or general behavioral-analytics SDK is enabled. Future cloud processing of beliefs or voice would require a separate explanation and any legally required consent.
3. WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE INFORMATION AND WHERE IS IT PROCESSED?
Supabase handles accounts and basic profiles; the database is hosted in Mumbai, India. RevenueCat handles subscription infrastructure. Apple supplies maps, geocoding, device speech services and App Store payments. Maps may contact Apple and are not wholly offline. We do not send faith choices, alarm names, passages, coordinates or transcripts to RevenueCat.
Providers may process information in other countries under their agreements and applicable law. Where legally required, we use applicable contractual transfer safeguards. Contact us for information. See Supabase privacy, RevenueCat privacy and Apple Maps & Privacy.
Necessary information may be disclosed for a valid legal obligation, security investigation, protection of rights or business transfer with appropriate safeguards.
4. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP INFORMATION AND HOW CAN YOU DELETE IT?
Profiles remain while you have an account. Account → Delete account verifies your identity and deletes the active Supabase identity and profile. The app then clears local account state and requests alarm cancellation. If iOS cannot cancel an alarm, the affected alarm remains locally available to stop and retry; follow the error shown. Sign-out does not delete the cloud account.
Other installations and older device backups are not remotely erased. Support correspondence is kept only as needed to handle the request and applicable legal or security obligations. Provider backups, security logs and transaction records may follow separate retention periods. Records retained for a legal obligation, fraud prevention or dispute are restricted to that purpose.
Contact privacy@sodhera.com to request associated support or RevenueCat customer-record deletion. Apple controls its transaction records. Deleting an account or app does not cancel an Apple subscription; see the deletion guide.
5. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We use encrypted connections, device-only Keychain tokens and database row-level access controls. Local settings use iOS app storage and may be included in device backups. No system is perfectly secure; these measures do not promise end-to-end encryption or immunity to modified devices.
6. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, withdraw consent, and complain to a competent data-protection authority. We do not discriminate for exercising privacy rights.
Send requests to privacy@sodhera.com. We may require proportionate identity verification and respond within applicable legal deadlines. Authorized agents may act where permitted. You may appeal a refusal to the same address; we explain applicable reasons and complaint routes. We do not make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about your beliefs.
7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
VerseBlock is not directed to children under 13 or below the applicable digital-consent age. Minors require parental or guardian permission and supervision as required by law. Contact us if a child who does not meet these requirements has provided information so we can investigate and remove it.
8. DEVELOPMENT PREVIEWS
Clearly labeled local previews do not create cloud accounts or charge money; RevenueCat Test Store purchases are also free simulations. Normal speech uses the real on-device service; explicit testing fixtures can simulate speech.
9. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
We communicate material processing changes through the app or another appropriate channel. The date above identifies this version.
10. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US?
For questions about this notice or to exercise your privacy rights, email privacy@sodhera.com or write to Sodhera Intelligence Private Limited, Satdobato, Lalitpur, Bagmati Province 44700, Nepal. For app support, email admin@sodhera.com.
