3. Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense)

Lumina Daily displays advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free availability of our service. Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Lumina Daily and/or other sites on the internet. This is known as interest-based advertising.

  • Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads. These may track your browsing across other websites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting: Google Ad Settings or AboutAds.info or NAI Opt-Out.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

5. iOS App — Apple App Store Compliance

If you use Lumina Daily on an iOS device via the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

  • Data Not Linked to You: Anonymized usage analytics and crash reports are collected but not linked to your identity.
  • Data Linked to You: Your email, name, and user-generated content (prayers, journal entries, notes) are linked to your account.
  • App Tracking Transparency (ATT): If the app requests permission to track you across other apps and websites, you may allow or deny this via the iOS system prompt. Denying tracking will result in non-personalized ads only.
  • Push Notifications: If you grant notification permissions, we may send you devotional reminders and prayer alerts. You can revoke this permission at any time in iOS Settings → Lumina Daily → Notifications.
  • No Third-Party SDK Data Sharing: We do not share your personal data with third-party SDKs beyond those listed above.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will permanently remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

User-generated content (journal entries, prayers, notes) is deleted immediately upon account deletion.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication, and access controls to protect your personal data. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Lumina Daily is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it immediately. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
