Anchora privacy policy
Effective: October 3, 2026.
Anchora is a Bible verse widget for Android. It is built to keep everything on your phone.
What the app collects
Nothing. The app has no account, no analytics, no crash reporting and no advertising. The store build does not request the internet permission and makes no network requests of its own.
What stays on your phone
The verses the widget shows, the verses you save, the background you chose, your settings and whether Pro is unlocked are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app removes them. The app opts out of Android's cloud backup.
On Android 12 and later, a direct phone-to-phone transfer during setup of a new phone may still copy this data to your new phone. That transfer runs between your own devices; the developer is not involved.
Sharing a verse
When you share a verse card, Android's share sheet opens and you choose where it goes. The app sends nothing by itself.
Writing to us
"Write to us" opens your own mail app with support@kalaganov.dev filled in. Nothing is sent until you send the email yourself.
Permissions
The release build requests:
- Run at startup (
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED), so the widget's next verse is scheduled again after the phone restarts. - Wake lock and view network connections (
WAKE_LOCK,ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE). These come from Android's WorkManager library and Google Play's billing library. The app does not use them to go online. - Foreground service (
FOREGROUND_SERVICE), added by WorkManager. The app does not use it. - Google Play billing, for the Pro purchase.
Purchases
The one-time Pro unlock is sold through Google Play. Google processes the payment under its own privacy policy. The app only learns whether the purchase exists, and keeps that answer on the device. Restoring a purchase also goes through Google Play. The developer never sees your payment details.
Scripture texts
- English: World English Bible (WEB), public domain.
- Ukrainian: translation by Ivan Ohiienko, licensed CC BY-SA, provided by the Ukrainian Bible Society (2013).

The app shows the same credits in its settings.
Children
The app is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
