Pilg creates an anonymous account for you, with no email and no password, and keeps your progress in it on servers in the European Union. Pilg shows no ads, sells no data and does not track you across other apps or sites. The apps you choose to lock stay on your iPhone, and Apple does not tell Pilg which apps they are.
1. Who is responsible for your data
Nicolas Marino, an individual developer in Brazil, is the controller of the data in Pilg and also its data protection officer. For anything on this page, write to support@pilg.app.
This policy follows the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law 13.709/2018) and the privacy laws of the other countries where Pilg is sold.
2. Your account
The first time you use Pilg, the app creates an anonymous account automatically. It has no email and no password, and it is stored on Supabase servers in Frankfurt, Germany, in the European Union.
Before the account is created, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the device is not a bot, so that automated programs cannot create accounts in bulk. To do this, it processes technical signals from the device and the browser engine, and the Cloudflare privacy policy and the Turnstile Privacy Addendum apply to that check.
In the Me tab you can choose Sign in with Apple, so you can continue your progress on a new iPhone. Pilg asks Apple for neither your name nor your email, and only receives an identifier that Apple creates for your Apple ID.
3. What we keep in your account, and why
Everything in this list goes up to your account so your progress stays with you when you reinstall the app or change iPhones.
- Your first name, as you typed it in the quiz, so the app can address you by name.
- The Christian tradition you chose, so the prayers, the translations and the quotes follow your tradition. This reveals a religious belief, which is a special category of data under GDPR article 9 and sensitive data under LGPD article 11. You can choose Other, which is also the option for anyone who prefers not to say, and you can change it at any time in Settings.
- Your other quiz answers, which are the hours you spend on the phone per day, your age, the moment of the day you chose and the kinds of apps you said you use, so the plan and the lock suggestions fit you.
- Your path, which is the current day, your streak and your first day, so your place on the path is never lost.
- The items you have seen and the items you saved, so the feed does not repeat itself and your saved items stay with you.
- Your highlights, the notes you write and where you stopped reading, so you can pick up the Bible where you left it.
- The translations you chose, so the Bible opens in the translation you prefer.
4. What stays only on your iPhone
- The apps you chose in Apple's Screen Time picker, which never leave your iPhone. Apple does not even tell Pilg which apps they are.
- The lock settings, which are the times, the way you chose to open your apps and until when the apps are open, because only your iPhone needs them to apply the lock.
- Your permissions and the sounds setting, because they only matter on this iPhone.
5. Usage counts
The app sends short usage counts so we can see where the app needs to improve. Each count has the name of an event, a short detail such as the quiz step or the plan, and the time. It carries no account identifier, no device identifier and no text you wrote, so it cannot be linked to you or to anyone else.
6. Subscriptions and payment
Apple handles the payment and the subscription, and Pilg never sees your card details. RevenueCat, Inc., in the United States, receives your anonymous account identifier and your purchase history from Apple, so it can tell the app whether you have an active subscription.
7. Notifications
Notifications are scheduled on your iPhone itself. They are the notice from the screen that covers a locked app and one reminder the day before your free trial ends. Pilg has no push server, so no notification data leaves your iPhone.
8. What we never do
- We show no ads, so no advertising company receives your data.
- We do not sell your data or share it for advertising, so it stays with the services listed on this page.
- We do not track you across other apps or sites, so your activity elsewhere stays yours.
- This site has no cookies and no visitor analytics, and the fonts are stored on the site, so visiting it sends your data to no one else.
9. Legal bases
- The account and the sync of your progress are needed to provide the service you asked for. Under the GDPR, this is the performance of a contract (article 6(1)(b)). Under the LGPD, it is the execution of a contract.
- Your Christian tradition is processed because you choose to give it in the quiz, so the content follows your tradition. Under the GDPR, this is your explicit consent (article 9(2)(a)). Under the LGPD, it is your specific consent for sensitive data (article 11, I). You can withdraw it at any time by choosing Other in Settings or by deleting your account.
- The usage counts are based on our legitimate interest in improving the app, and they carry no identifier, so they do not affect you.
10. Who processes your data for us
- Supabase stores your account and your progress on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, so your progress is kept.
- Cloudflare runs the Turnstile check before the account is created and hosts this site, so bots cannot create accounts and this page can load.
- RevenueCat checks your purchases with Apple, so the app knows whether you subscribe.
- Apple handles the payment, Sign in with Apple and Screen Time, so these features can work.
11. Data outside your country
Your account and your progress are stored in the European Union. RevenueCat and Cloudflare may process data in the United States, under the safeguards those companies publish, such as standard contractual clauses. For people in Brazil, this transfer is needed for the app to work as you asked.
12. How long we keep it
- Your account data is kept while the account exists, so your progress is there when you come back.
- RevenueCat and Apple keep purchase records under their own policies and tax law, because a purchase must stay on record.
- Usage counts have no identifier, so they stay as anonymous totals.
13. How to delete your account
In the Me tab, tap Delete account. This deletes your account and everything stored with it on the server right away. If you used Sign in with Apple, the app also revokes its access to your Apple ID.
Usage counts have no identifier, so they cannot be found and deleted, and they stay as anonymous totals.
Deleting the account does not cancel the subscription. To stop the charges, cancel in iPhone Settings, in your Apple ID, under Subscriptions.
14. Your rights
At any time, you can ask to:
- access your data and receive a copy of it, so you know what we keep;
- correct data that is wrong, so your account is accurate;
- delete your data, so nothing of yours stays with us;
- take your data to another service, so you are free to leave;
- withdraw the consent you gave for your tradition, so it is no longer used;
- object to the use based on legitimate interest, so you can refuse it;
- complain to a supervisory authority, which is the ANPD in Brazil and the data protection authority of your country in the European Union.

If you live in California, Pilg does not sell or share your personal information.
15. Children
Pilg is not directed to children under 13.
16. Changes to this policy
We announce important changes inside the app before they take effect. If a change needs your consent, we ask for it again.
