Privacy Policy
Your words, and what we do with them
Effective 1 August 2026 · Last updated 30 July 2026
Knewness is a place to speak Scripture over your life. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

Who we are
Knewness is operated by PeachShift LLC, 5675 Roswell Rd APT 62G, Sandy Springs, GA 30342-1237, USA (“Knewness,” “we,” “us”). We are the data controller for the information described here. You can reach us at privacy@knewness.app.
What we collect
We collect as little as the app needs to work, and we tell you plainly what each piece is for.
Information you give us
- Your email address, when you create an account. We use it to sign you in (with a one-time code — there is no password to leak) and to keep what you save tied to you across devices.
- What you type into the app — the feeling or situation you describe when you ask for Scripture to speak over it. By default this text is used to find a response and then not stored in a form linked to you. See How your words are matched below.
- Testimonies, if you choose to share one. A testimony you submit is reviewed by a person and, once approved, shown to others. Share only what you are comfortable making public.
- Your journal, prayers, and saved confessions. Today these live only on your device. When account sync is enabled, they will sync privately to your account so you don’t lose them — they are never shown to anyone else.
Information created as you use the app
- Your place in the app — your devotional day, prayers you’re praying toward, subscription status.
- De-identified signals that help us decide what to write next. When the app has nothing that fits what you asked for, we record that a gap exists — as a one-way fingerprint of the words and a measure of their meaning, never the readable text and never linked to you, unless you have explicitly turned on sharing examples (off by default).
- Basic technical and purchase records needed to run the service and honor your subscription.
We do not use advertising trackers, we do not sell your information, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.
Why we collect it
| What | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Sign you in; keep your account | Performance of a contract | |
| What you type | Find Scripture that fits, in the moment | Performance of a contract; your consent for any stored examples |
| Journal, prayers, saves | Give you back what you saved | Performance of a contract |
| Testimonies | Share encouragement you chose to make public | Your consent |
| De-identified gap signals | Decide what content to write next | Legitimate interest in improving the app (no readable text, not linked to you) |
| Purchase & subscription records | Provide and bill the subscription | Performance of a contract; legal obligation |
Because Knewness is a Christian app, some of what you do here may reveal your religious beliefs — which is sensitive information under laws like the GDPR. By choosing to use a faith app and, where required, agreeing to this policy, you consent to us handling this information for the purposes above. You can withdraw that consent at any time by deleting your account.
How your words are matched
Your words stay between you and us. They are not sent to any outside company, and they are not used to build anything.
When you type how you feel, the text goes to our own servers and is turned into a set of numbers that stands for its meaning. Those numbers are compared against the same measure taken of every subject in our library, and the app answers with the closest ones. You choose which to open, and what you read then comes from the library that ships inside the app.
Once your request is answered, the text you typed is not kept in any form linked to you unless you have turned on the optional “help improve Knewness” setting, which is off by default. When the app has nothing that fits, we keep what is described under What we collect: a one-way fingerprint and a measure of meaning, never the readable text.
Crisis moments
If you may be in danger, help is always one tap away in the app — and it is never behind a login or a subscription.
If you are in the U.S. and struggling, you can call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line) at any time. Outside the U.S., please contact your local emergency services.
When the app detects that you may be in crisis, it shows these resources immediately. We record only that a crisis moment occurred so we can keep this safety feature working — we do not store the words you wrote in that moment. Calling or texting a helpline connects you to that organization directly; it is governed by their privacy practices, not ours.
Who we share your information with
We share information only with service providers who help us run Knewness, and only for that purpose. Each is bound by contract to protect your data. Our providers are:
- Supabase — our database, account, and backend infrastructure. This is where your account, your saved content, and the matching described above live and run.
- Apple and RevenueCat — to process and manage subscriptions. We never see or store your full payment card details; Apple handles the transaction.
- Resend — to deliver your one-time sign-in codes. It receives your email address and the code, nothing else.
That is the whole list. Nobody else receives anything.
Reminders are scheduled and delivered by your own device. We do not operate a push service and we do not hold a push token for you.
Some of these providers are based in the United States, so your information may be processed there. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for those transfers.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of a person, but we will resist requests that are overbroad or unlawful.
How long we keep it
- Account information and saved content — for as long as you have an account. Delete your account and we delete it.
- What you type — not retained in a linked form after your request is answered (unless you opt in to sharing examples).
- De-identified gap signals — kept while they help us improve the library; because they carry no readable text and no link to you, they are not personal data about you.
- Records we must keep by law (such as purchase records for tax) — for the period the law requires.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have some or all of these rights: to access the information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to object to or restrict certain uses, to withdraw consent, and to receive a copy of your data in a portable form.
The simplest way to exercise most of these is in the app: Profile → Delete my account removes your account and your personal information from our systems, without emailing anyone or waiting on us. For anything else, email privacy@knewness.app and we will respond within the time the law allows. If you are in the EU/UK and believe we’ve mishandled your data, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
If you are a California resident, we do not sell or “share” your personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
How we protect it
Your connection to Knewness is encrypted. Access to stored data is restricted, and the readable text of what you type is deliberately kept out of our records by design, not just by policy. No system is perfectly secure, but we build to keep the sensitive things — your words in a hard moment — from ever being sitting there to lose.
Children
Knewness is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact privacy@knewness.app and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your information, we’ll update this page and its “last updated” date. For significant changes, we’ll let you know in the app before they take effect.
