Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Little Bethlehem is an Advent devotional app. It is built to know as little about you as possible.
What we collect
Only anonymous usage statistics, described below. There are no accounts and no advertising, and we never ask for your name, email or contacts. We do not sell data or use it to track you across other apps or websites.
Anonymous usage statistics
To learn which parts of the app are helpful, the app sends simple usage events to our analytics provider, PostHog. For example: a day was completed, a gift was chosen, the share menu was opened (and, on iPhone, the kind of app the image was handed to, such as Messages or Save Image). Each event includes the app version, your device type and operating system version, and a random identifier created when the app is installed, so we can count how many people use it.
These events contain nothing you write and nothing that identifies you. The random identifier is not linked to your name, email, phone number or advertising ID, and it is deleted when you delete the app. We do not use your IP address to locate you.
What stays on your device
Your progress through Advent, the gifts you have chosen, your nativity scenes and your settings are saved only on your phone. They are never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them.
This website
When you visit this website or follow a link from it to an app store, our server counts the visit for PostHog: which store you were sent to, your device type (iPhone, Android or other), the website that linked you here, and your country as estimated by our hosting provider, Cloudflare. No cookies are set, no script tracks you in your browser, and the visit is not linked to you or to the app.
Daily reminders
If you turn on reminders, the app asks for permission to show notifications and schedules them on your phone. They are created and delivered entirely on your device; no notification service or server is involved.
Sharing your nativity scene
When you share your scene, the app creates an image and hands it to your phone's own share menu. Where it goes from there is up to you and the app you choose; we never receive it.
Checking for updates
When it opens, the app downloads a small file from this website to see whether a newer version is required. The request contains no personal information. As with any visit to a website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) receives your IP address to deliver the file; we do not keep or use it.
Children
The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
