Disciplr -- Discipleship Companion App

Last Updated: April 23, 2026

Introduction

Disciplr ("the App") is a discipleship companion app designed to help Christians track contacts, log follow-up tasks, record prayer items, share the gospel, and access discipleship tools and resources. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is stored, and how it is used.

1. Data Collection and Storage

All personal data you enter into Disciplr is stored locally on your device only. The App does not have a backend server, user accounts, or any form of cloud synchronization. No personal data is transmitted from your device by the App.

The types of data stored on your device include:

• Contact information: Names and spiritual status of people you are discipling (e.g., Seeking, Growing, Discipling).
• Follow-up tasks: Task type, due date, and notes related to your discipleship contacts.
• Prayer items: Prayer requests and their status (e.g., whether they have been answered).
• Gospel sharing records: Whether the gospel has been shared with a particular contact.
• App settings: Theme preference, prayer reminder time, and notification preferences.
• Gospel reminder schedule: Stored locally using SharedPreferences.
• Tool reading progress: Records of which discipleship tool cards you have read.

Because all data resides on your device, uninstalling the App or clearing its data will permanently delete all stored information. The App does not back up your data to any external service. Device backup via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and cloud auto-backup are disabled, preventing unauthorized data extraction.

2. Remote Content

The App fetches discipleship tool content and gospel reminder messages from a public GitHub repository (raw.githubusercontent.com). This content is retrieved on a read-only basis and cached locally on your device for offline access.

• No personal data, device identifiers, or usage information is sent to GitHub or any other server as part of these requests.
• Standard HTTP metadata (such as your device's IP address) may be visible to GitHub's servers as part of the network request. This is inherent to how the internet works and is not initiated or controlled by the App. Please refer to GitHub's Privacy Statement for details on how GitHub handles such data.

3. Advertising

The App integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display advertisements. Google may collect certain information from your device in connection with serving ads, including but not limited to:

• Device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID)
• IP address
• General location data
• App usage and interaction data related to ads

This data collection is governed by Google's own privacy practices. The App itself does not share any of your personal discipleship data (contacts, prayer items, follow-up tasks, etc.) with Google or any advertising partner.

For details on how Google collects and uses data through its advertising services, please review:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps That Use Our Services

4. Notifications

Disciplr uses local notifications only to provide:

• Daily prayer reminders at a time you choose.
• Follow-up task reminders triggered by due dates you set on tasks.
• Weekly gospel sharing reminders based on your configured schedule.

These notifications are scheduled entirely on your device using the flutter_local_notifications package. No push notification service (such as Firebase Cloud Messaging or Apple Push Notification Service) is used. No notification data is sent to or received from any external server.

The App will request your permission before sending notifications. You can revoke this permission at any time through your device's system settings.

5. Permissions

The App requests the following permissions:

No other device permissions (such as camera, microphone, contacts, or location) are requested or used by the App.

6. Data Sharing

Disciplr does not sell, rent, share, or transmit any of your personal data to third parties, with the exception of data that may be collected independently by the Google Mobile Ads SDK as described in Section 3 above.

7. Data Security

Your data is stored locally on your device using the ObjectBox database. Disciplr implements multiple layers of protection:

Encryption:

• Database encryption at rest is planned for a future update. Your data is currently stored in plaintext on-device.
• We recommend keeping your device locked and enabling full-disk encryption if you operate in a sensitive context.

Backup Protection:

• Device backup via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and cloud auto-backup are disabled (android:allowBackup="false"), preventing unauthorized data extraction.

In-Transit Security:

• All network requests (AdMob ads, gospel content fetch) use HTTPS encryption.

Device-Level Recommendations:

• Keep your device locked with a PIN, password, or biometric authentication.
• Keep your device's operating system up to date.
• Enable full-disk encryption on your device if in a sensitive context.
• Avoid rooted or jailbroken devices, as they may expose locally stored data.

8. Children's Privacy

Disciplr is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at the email address below so we can take appropriate action.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
