Privacy Policy
Wisdom is made by Ankur Shukla, an independent developer in India (“we”). This policy explains what the Wisdom iPhone app and wisdomquotes.in collect, why, who else handles it, and how to delete it.
1. What the app collects
| Data | What it is | Why | Linked to you? |
|---|---|---|---|
| User ID | A random ID created the first time you open the app (an anonymous Supabase account, no sign-in needed) | Keeps your purchases, analytics and backup together | Yes |
| Email and name | Only if you back up your journal with Sign in with Apple or Google. Apple lets you hide your email. | Restore your journal on a new phone | Yes |
| Your answers | Age range, stage of life, the feeling words you tap, what weighs on you, time on your phone | Choose the verses for your plan (sent to our AI partners, section 2); analytics in Mixpanel (section 3); check and improve how verses are chosen | Yes. Stored in our database with your user ID, and in Mixpanel with your analytics ID |
| Your words | The note you type or speak, questions you ask about a verse, and anything you add when your situation changes | Sent to our AI partners to choose and explain your verses, only if you allow it (section 2) | Yes. If you allow AI, your note and what you add later are stored in our database with your user ID. Your words are never sent to Mixpanel. Questions about a verse aren't stored |
| Journal backup | Your reflections, only if you back up your journal | Keep them safe across phones | Yes |
| Usage | Screens opened, buttons tapped, your answers (above), whether you wrote a note and how long it was (never the words), plan progress, an app-generated device ID, and the city and country Mixpanel infers from your IP address | Stored in Mixpanel for analytics: understand what helps and fix what doesn't | Yes |
| Plan records | For each plan we build: the verses chosen, how our system read your answers (short labels such as the kind of situation), timings, errors, your country, and the same onboarding ID as in Mixpanel | Check that verses fit the people they were chosen for, and match our records with our analytics | Yes. Stored in our database with your user ID |
| Feature requests | The text you send from Settings → Request a feature | Read by us to shape the app | Yes |
| Purchases | Your subscription, its status and dates | Unlock Wisdom Pro | Yes |
When you speak your note, your iPhone turns your voice into text with Apple's speech recognition. Only the text can ever reach us; your voice recording never does.
2. AI and your words
Before anything you write leaves your phone, the app asks you. If you tap Allow:
- What is sent: your answers (section 1) and your words: your note, your questions about a verse, and what you add when your situation changes.
- Who reads it: our server (hosted on Vercel) passes it to our AI partners. Today these are Sarvam AI (Axonwise Private Limited, India), whose language model reads it to choose your verses and write the lines meant for you, and Cloudflare (Workers AI), which turns short descriptions of your situation into search vectors so the right verses can be found. Sarvam AI's voice model reads your daily audio aloud.
- What it's used for: to make and explain your plan. Under our AI partners' terms it isn't used to train their AI models.
- What we keep: your note and anything you add when your situation changes are stored in our database (Supabase) with your user ID and the verses chosen for them, so we can check and improve how verses are chosen. We don't write them to our server logs and never send them to Mixpanel. Questions you ask about a verse are used only to answer them and aren't stored. To give the same answers the same verse, we also keep the chosen first verse and our reading of the situation (never your note) for up to 7 days, under a one-way code. Audio readings are saved as files named by a one-way code so the same reading isn't made twice.
If you tap Not now, nothing you write is sent or stored. Your plan is chosen from your answers alone, with no AI model, and your note stays on your phone. Your answers are still used and recorded as section 1 describes. You can change this at any time in Settings → Your words. If we ever change which AI partners read your words, the app will ask you again.
Wisdom offers reflection from scripture. It isn't medical or mental-health advice. If something you write suggests you may be in danger, the app shows helplines instead of verses.
3. On this website
- Analytics: Mixpanel stores page views, taps, and the answers you choose on /start (age range, stage of life, feeling words, and whether you wrote a note and how long it was, never the words), under a random browser ID, for analytics only.
- Your week by email (wisdomquotes.in/start): what you choose and write on /start is sent to our server and to our AI partners, as in section 2, to build your Day 1 and your week. We keep your answers, your note and a plan record in our database, as in sections 1 and 2, under the same onboarding ID as in Mixpanel. If you then sign in with Google (through Firebase Authentication) to get the week by email, we keep your email, name, the kind of device, and the feeling and situation you picked, and we email your week through Resend.
4. Who handles your data
- Supabase: accounts, the journal backup and our database, including your answers, plan records and, if you allowed AI, your words. Privacy →
- Vercel: hosts our server. Privacy →
- Sarvam AI: AI partner for language and voice models; reads your words only with your permission (section 2). Privacy →
- Cloudflare: AI partner, Workers AI for verse search (section 2). Privacy →
- Mixpanel: stores usage and your answers for analytics. Privacy →

We don't sell, rent or trade your data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
5. Subscriptions and payments
Wisdom Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) paid through Apple. We never see your card details. RevenueCat tells the app whether your subscription is active. You can manage or cancel it in Settings → Account → Manage subscription in the app, or in your iPhone's Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
6. Keeping and deleting your data
- Delete your account in the app: Settings → Account → Delete account. This immediately deletes your account, your journal backup and everything stored with your user ID in our database (including your answers, plan records and stored words), and clears the app on your phone. Deleting your account doesn't cancel an App Store subscription; cancel that in Manage subscription.
- Analytics and purchase records: usage analytics held by Mixpanel and subscription records held by RevenueCat and Apple aren't deleted automatically. Email us and we'll have your analytics deleted within 30 days. Purchase records are kept as long as accounting and tax rules require.
- Website data: email us and we'll delete your email sign-up, your answers, your note and your plan records within 30 days.
- Otherwise, account data is kept while your account exists, and analytics are kept under Mixpanel's retention policy.
7. Children
Wisdom isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has given us personal data, email us and we'll delete it.
8. Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete the data we hold about you, and you can withdraw your permission for AI at any time in Settings → Your words. Email work.ankurshukla@gmail.com and we'll reply within 30 days.
9. Security
Data travels over HTTPS. Our database is protected by row-level security, so one account can't read another's data. We don't store passwords: sign-in is handled by Apple, Google and Supabase.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top. If we change who reads your words, the app will ask for your permission again before sending anything.
