1. Introduction
Sabaha (사바하, the "App") is a Buddhist scripture reading app developed by Appbridge. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles and how.
In short: the App has no sign-up or login, contains no advertising or analytics tools, and does not collect your personal information on our servers.
2. Information Stored on Your Device
The following is stored only on your device and is never sent to us. It is deleted when you delete the App.
- Verses you liked or bookmarked, and notes you wrote
- Your reading position, streak, reading plan progress and display settings
- Prostration (108 bows) counts and meditation minutes (today and total)
- The last list of news headlines you received (cached for offline use)
- The verse you chose for the home screen widget
3. Network Communication
When you open the News tab, the App sends a simple GET request to the news relay server operated by Appbridge (hosted on Railway) to download a list of headlines from Korean Buddhist newspapers. The request contains no account, no device identifier and nothing you wrote.
As with any internet request, your IP address and the time and path of the request may be processed and logged by the server and its hosting provider for operation and troubleshooting. We do not use this to identify or track you. The news server only relays headlines, short summaries and links; it does not store article bodies.
When you tap an article, it opens in your browser on the publisher's own website, where that site's privacy policy applies.
4. Permissions
- Photo library (add only, iOS): requested only when you save a verse snapshot image. The App does not read the photos already in your library.
- Internet access: used only for the News tab as described above. Everything else works offline.
The App does not use your location, camera, microphone or contacts. Sharing a verse or an image uses your operating system's share sheet, which you control.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties, because we do not collect it. We may disclose information only if required by law.
6. Retention and Deletion
Data on your device stays there until you delete it inside the App or delete the App itself. We hold no personal data about you on our servers, so there is nothing for us to delete on request.
7. Children
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 14.
8. Security
The News tab communicates with our server over HTTPS. Data kept on your device is protected by your device's own security features.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is always available at this page. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
