This notice describes how Silas (Sermon Notes) handles your information. It is specific to this app and supplements our main Privacy Policy (linked below), which contains the full detail on legal bases, your rights (including GDPR and CCPA), data retention, international transfers and how to contact us.

What Silas collects

  • Sermon recordings, transcripts, typed notes, your questions and slide photos — sent to our AI provider only when you use the AI features (see below).
  • Your subscription and purchase status (via the app store and our purchase provider).
  • Device and usage diagnostics (device model, OS version, app version, language, crash logs, anonymous events) and, if enabled, recordings of how the app's screens are used (Microsoft Clarity).

AI features

Silas's AI features — transcription, sermon notes, flashcards, devotionals, questions about a sermon and slide-photo text — send content to OpenRouter, Inc., which routes it to an AI model from Google (Gemini). What is sent: the note's audio recording, its transcript and typed notes, and your question or slide photo when you use those. No name, account or other notes are sent, and it is used only to produce that result. Nothing is sent until you tap "Allow" on the AI permission prompt; after that, new recordings are transcribed automatically and the other features run when you tap them. Every request asks OpenRouter to use only providers that do not collect your data. We do not sell this data and have no server of our own: your notes, recordings and AI results stay on your phone, and we keep no copies. To avoid this, choose "Not now" or switch AI processing off in Settings. AI results are automated and may be inaccurate.

Your notes stay on your phone

Your notes, recordings, photos and devotionals are stored on your device. A backup is a file you save where you choose. Silas has no account and does not upload your library.

How it is used, shared and protected · your rights

We do not collect your name, phone number or precise location, and we do not sell your personal information. For how we use and share this information (Firebase, Microsoft Clarity, RevenueCat and the app store, our AI provider), how long we keep it, and how to exercise your privacy rights, see our full Privacy Policy.
