Privacy Policy

Desert Fathers is published by Solomon Interactive LLC. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how to remove it. It is short because the app collects little.

What we do not do

There is no advertising in Desert Fathers, and no advertising identifiers are read. We run no analytics or tracking software, we do not build profiles, and we never sell or rent personal information. Nothing you read or listen to is used to target you anywhere.

What we collect

• Your e-mail address, when you create an account. It identifies the account and is used to confirm it, to let you sign in, and to reset your password.
• Your password, stored only as a salted cryptographic hash. We cannot read it, and neither can anyone with access to the database.
• Your practice — which page of a book you stopped on, how far into an audio you are, and passages you saved. This is what lets your diary follow you to a new phone.
• Your subscription status — whether it is active, which plan, and when the period ends. Payment itself happens in the App Store or Google Play; we never see or store your card.

When you create a password, the app checks it against a public database of passwords exposed in known breaches. This check sends only the first five characters of a one-way hash of the password — never the password, never your e-mail address, and not enough for anyone to work out what you typed.

Who else handles it

We use a small number of service providers, each for one job, and none of them receives your data for their own purposes.

• Supabase — stores the account and your practice.
• Cloudflare R2 — serves the audio files.
• Vercel — serves the app itself.
• Resend — delivers account e-mails, such as confirmation and password reset.
• Apple, Google and RevenueCat — handle the subscription and tell us only whether it is active.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and your practice for as long as the account exists. When you delete the account, everything tied to it is deleted with it, immediately and permanently — the pages you read, the minutes you heard, and the passages you saved. Ordinary backups may hold a copy for up to thirty days before they expire.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account from inside the app: open You, then Account, then Delete account. It takes two taps and does not require writing to us. If you cannot reach the app, write to the address below and we will do it for you. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription — cancel that in your device’s subscription settings, or it will keep renewing.

Your rights

You may ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to the address below and we will answer within thirty days. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our basis for processing is the contract between us — running the app you asked for — and, for account security e-mails, our legitimate interest in protecting your account.

Children

Desert Fathers is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, write to us and we will remove it.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will say so in the app before the change takes effect. The date at the top always shows the current version.
