Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 5, 2026
The Courage Post ("the app," "we," "us") is developed by Onos Monos. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and how it's handled during the app's beta testing period.
Information We Collect
Account information. When you sign up, we collect your email address, a password (stored securely by our authentication provider, Supabase — we never see it in plain text), and an optional display name.
Content you create. Bookmarked headlines, memorized quotes, pinned figures, your weekly figure schedule, and reflection notes you write. Reflection notes are encrypted before they leave your device and can only be decrypted by your account.
Usage analytics. We use Firebase Analytics to record app usage events — for example, when you sign up, sign in, open or bookmark a headline, memorize a quote, pin a figure or change your weekly figure schedule, or change an appearance setting. These events are tied to an anonymous device/install identifier, not directly to your name.
Crash reports. We use Firebase Crashlytics to receive diagnostic information (device model, OS version, stack trace) if the app crashes, so we can fix bugs.
What we don't collect. We don't run ads, use advertising SDKs, or sell your data to anyone.
How We Use Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | What it sees |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Account authentication, database storage, sync across your devices | Email, encrypted content, account data |
| Firebase (Google) | Usage analytics, crash reporting | Anonymous usage events, crash diagnostics |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Generates quote matches and daily reflections | Headline text and figure context — not your account info |
| Railway | Hosts the app's server, which fetches headlines and requests quote matches and reflections | Your IP address and the requests the app makes (such as search terms) — not your account info |
| GNews | Supplies the headlines shown in the app | No personal data sent |
| Scripture API | Supplies Bible text | No personal data sent |
| Resend | Sends the verification email during sign-up | Your email address |
Beta Testing Notice
This app is in active development and currently distributed to external testers via TestFlight or Google Play. Features may change, and — because this is a beta — your data may occasionally be reset as we test new functionality. We'll make a reasonable effort to warn you before any reset that affects saved content.
Data Retention & Deletion
You can delete your account and all associated data at any time by emailing support@thecouragepost.app. We'll process deletion requests within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
This app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the app develops. Material changes will be noted in the app or communicated by email.
