Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 15, 2026
Built For Greatness (“BFG”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Account information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and (optionally) phone number, city, state, and signup survey answers.
Payment information: When you subscribe, payment details are collected and processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. We do receive limited billing metadata such as your subscription status and the last four digits of your card.
Usage information: We log the questions you submit to BFG and the answers returned, so we can show you your history and manage your daily question limit. We also log IP addresses and basic device information for security and rate-limiting.
Cookies: We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use advertising cookies.
How We Use Your Information
- Provide and operate the BFG service
- Process payments and manage subscriptions
- Send transactional emails (welcome, receipts, password resets)
- Respond to support requests
- Prevent abuse, fraud, and technical issues
- Improve the service through anonymized, aggregated analysis
What We Do NOT Do
- We do not sell your personal data
- We do not share your questions or answers with third parties
- We do not use your data to train external AI models
- We do not send marketing emails without your consent
Service Providers
We use trusted third parties who process limited data on our behalf:

Your Rights
You can:

Children
BFG is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us and we’ll remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as BFG evolves. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, notify you by email.

Note: This is a plain-language privacy policy intended as a starting point. We recommend having it reviewed by an attorney before broad public launch, especially if you serve users in the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), or other regulated markets.
Analytics and Usage Data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how people use the BFG Handbook Companion (web and Android app) so we can improve the experience. This data is collected automatically when you visit our website or use the app.
What we collect via Google Analytics:
- Approximate location (city/region level, derived from IP — your full IP address is anonymized before being stored)
- Device type (phone, tablet, desktop) and browser
- Pages or app screens you visit
- Time spent on each page or screen
- Whether you are a new or returning visitor
- Referrer (the website that sent you to us, if any)
- Anonymous events such as: chapter selected, area-of-life selected, PDF downloads, music plays, login events
What we do NOT collect or send to Google Analytics:
- The actual text of your questions or answers
- Your name, email address, or any personal account information
- Your password or login credentials
- Your payment information
- Your scripture searches or AI conversation content
Privacy settings we use:
- IP anonymization is enabled — your IP address is shortened before being logged
- Google Signals (cross-site advertising tracking) is DISABLED
- Ad personalization is DISABLED
- We do not use Google Analytics for advertising purposes
How long the data is kept: Google Analytics retains visitor data for 14 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted.
How to opt out:
- Browser: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Android app: Disable analytics in your device’s Settings → Privacy → Ads
- You can also block Google Analytics tracking with most ad blockers (e.g., uBlock Origin, AdBlock Plus)
Third-party services we use:
- OpenAI processes the text of your questions to generate spiritual guidance responses. Questions are sent over an encrypted connection. See OpenAI’s privacy policy.
- Stripe processes payments for paid subscriptions. See Stripe’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare provides our website’s content delivery network and bot protection. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Your rights: Depending on where you live (EU, California, etc.), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the data we have collected. To exercise these rights, email [email protected].
