PreachSermon Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 23, 2026

Overview

PreachSermon is designed with privacy in mind. Your sermons, annotations, and personal preferences are stored locally on your device. The app does not transmit your sermon content to us or to third parties.

Information We Collect

PreachSermon stores only the information you choose to create or import, including:

  • Sermon titles and body text
  • Sermon archive status and timestamps
  • Apple Pencil annotation data associated with each sermon
  • Reading preferences, including font size, line spacing, page mode, centered text, and annotation settings
  • Text imported from files you select using the system file picker

How Your Data Is Stored

All sermon data is stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. Reading preferences are stored locally using AppStorage/UserDefaults, and annotation drawings are saved with their associated sermons.

When you import a TXT, RTF, or DOCX file, PreachSermon reads the file locally and copies its contents into your sermon library. The original file is never modified.

How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used solely to provide the functionality of the app, including:

  • Displaying and editing sermons
  • Searching, organizing, archiving, and deleting sermons
  • Providing preaching mode and annotation features
  • Remembering your reading and display preferences

Sharing of Information

PreachSermon does not include advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking technologies.

Your sermon content is not shared with third parties, and we do not sell or rent your personal information.

Your Control

You remain in complete control of your content.

At any time you may:

  • Create new sermons
  • Edit existing sermons
  • Import sermon files
  • Archive sermons
  • Delete sermons and their associated annotations

Deleting a sermon permanently removes it from the app’s local storage.

Security

Your information remains on your device and benefits from the security protections provided by Apple’s operating systems. As with any digital content, we encourage you to protect your device with appropriate security measures.

Children’s Privacy

PreachSermon is intended for adults preparing and delivering sermons and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

If the app’s privacy practices change, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect those changes. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will indicate when revisions were made.
