BibliaPH ("we," "us," or "our") is a Filipino Bible companion app. We operate the BibliaPH mobile application (iOS and Android) and related services. References to "BibliaPH," "the App," or "our Services" in this policy refer to all of these.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@bibliaph.app.
BibliaPH is in the process of designating a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and NPC Circular 16-01. In the meantime, all data privacy inquiries are handled by our Privacy Team. To reach us, email privacy@bibliaph.app with "DPO Request" in the subject line.
We process your personal data on the basis of your consent, which you give when you create an account and accept these policies. We also process certain data where necessary to perform our service contract with you (e.g., delivering Bible content and managing your subscription).
We share your information only in these limited circumstances:
Prayer requests you post to the Prayer Wall are visible to other BibliaPH users. If you post anonymously, your display name is replaced with "Isang Kapatid." You may mark your own prayers as answered at any time. Please note that BibliaPH staff can view all Prayer Wall posts, including anonymous ones, for moderation purposes.
We may disclose your information if required by Philippine law, a court order, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
As a user in the Philippines, you have the following rights under Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012):
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@bibliaph.app with the subject line "Privacy Request — [Your Right, e.g., Right to Erasure]." We aim to respond within 15 business days.
BibliaPH is working toward full compliance with NPC registration requirements for the processing of sensitive personal information (specifically, denomination data) as required under NPC Circular 17-01. We are committed to completing this registration and will update this policy when registration is confirmed.
We protect your information using industry-standard measures including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit and encryption at rest on Supabase's infrastructure. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
Data Breach Notification: In the event of a personal data breach involving your sensitive personal information, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of discovery, as required by the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Mental Health & Crisis Resources: If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) Crisis Hotline at 1553 (24/7, free). In an emergency, call 911. BibliaPH's AI and Prayer Wall are not substitutes for professional mental health support.
