Eis Privacy Policy

Eis is a free Bible-reading app for Android, made by Blocfox. This page explains, plainly, what happens to your information when you use the app.

In short

Eis works entirely offline. There is no account and no login, no ads, and no analytics, crash-reporting or tracking tools. Blocfox has no server for the app and receives none of your data: not what you read, and not what you write.

What is kept on your device

To remember you, Eis keeps a few things in the app's private storage, on your own device:

• where you stopped reading and the history of chapters you have read;
• your notes and the verses you have highlighted;
• your settings, such as theme, font size and Bible edition;
• the name you would like to be called, if you choose to give one;
• the verse-card images you save ("My cards").

None of this leaves your device on the app's initiative.

Cards in your gallery

When you save a card, Eis also writes a copy to your device's gallery, in an album called "Eis". On Android 11 or newer, this asks for no permission at all. On Android 10 or older, the app asks for permission to save photos; if you say no, the card stays only inside the app. Eis only writes: it never reads your photos, and the permissions to read photos and media are blocked in the app.

Sharing and copying

When you tap share on a verse or a card, Android opens its share sheet and you choose where to send it. From then on, whatever you sent is handled under the rules of the app you picked. When you copy a verse, the text goes to your device's clipboard, like any other copy. Eis never shares anything on its own.

Maps

On the card for a biblical place, the small map is drawn on your device, without internet. If you tap "Open in maps app", Eis opens your device's maps app, or OpenStreetMap in your browser, passing only the place's coordinates and name. This happens only when you tap the link. From then on, that app's or website's own privacy policy applies.

Android backup

Android can back up apps to your Google account and move their data to a new device. For Eis, this backup includes only your personal data: the file with your notes, progress and settings, and your saved cards. The Bible texts are never included, since they already come with the app. This backup is run by Google and Android, under your Google account settings; Blocfox does not run it and has no access to it. You can turn it off in Android's settings.

Your notes may reveal your faith, and religious belief is sensitive data under Brazil's LGPD. So, to be completely clear: your notes stay on your device and, if you keep Android backup on, in your own backup. Nowhere else.

How to delete your data

• You can delete notes and cards inside the app.
• Uninstalling Eis, or using "Clear storage" in Android's settings, removes everything the app kept on your device.
• Card copies in your gallery belong to you: they stay there until you delete them from the gallery.

Texts and data that come with the app

The Bible texts and reference data (dictionaries, people and places, maps) are bundled with the app; their licenses and credits are shown in the app itself.

LGPD, GDPR and your rights

The LGPD in Brazil and the GDPR in the European Union give you rights such as accessing, correcting and deleting your personal data. Since Blocfox collects and receives none of your data, there is nothing held by us to access, correct or delete. Everything is on your device, under your control: you can view it, change it and delete it whenever you like. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Children

Eis is not directed at children under 13. And it collects no data from anyone, of any age.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with an updated effective date. New features in the app remain covered by this text as long as no data is collected. If Eis ever starts collecting any data (for example, for optional sync or donations), this policy will be updated before that feature reaches the app.
