Ground Truth
Privacy Policy
Ground Truth is a devotional app and website from Bruce Cheek. In short: the app collects no data. What you write stays on your iPhone.
What the app collects
Nothing. The app has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it includes no third-party code that collects data. It does not send your information to us or to anyone else.
What stays on your iPhone
The app saves these on your device so it can work:
- Your notes and answers to each day's questions
- Which days you've finished, and each time you've read a book through
- Your settings, such as appearance and reminder times
We never see any of it. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, this data is included in that backup, which Apple's or your computer's terms govern. Deleting the app deletes this data.
The Ground Truth widget reads today's reading status from the app on the same device. It doesn't leave your iPhone.
Reminders
Daily reminders and the evening check-in are scheduled on your iPhone. No server sends them, and you can turn them off anytime in the app's Settings or in iOS Settings.
Purchases
Purchases are made through Apple's App Store. Apple processes your payment, and we never receive your payment details or Apple Account information. The app asks Apple only whether a book is unlocked on your account. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
Ratings
The app may occasionally show Apple's standard prompt to rate it. Apple handles that prompt and any rating or review you leave.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics or tracking, and loads no third-party scripts. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard connection information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Release emails
If you sign up on this website to hear about new releases, we collect only your email address. We use it to tell you when James is available and when each new Ground Truth book is ready, and for nothing else. We never sell or share it.
The list is run by Kit, which stores your address, sends the emails, and asks you to confirm your address before you're added. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from future emails right away. To have your address deleted entirely, email us. See Kit's Privacy Policy.
Signing up on the website is separate from the app. The app still collects nothing.
Emailing us
If you email support, we use your email address and message only to reply to you. We don't add you to a mailing list or share your email.
Children
Ground Truth is not directed to children under 13, and it collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top.
