Pewlio Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-06

Pewlio ("the app") is a free sermon notes app provided by DDJ B1 ("we", "us"). It lets you write sermon and church notes, insert Bible verses from Bible texts built into the app, record audio of a message with time marks, and keep a prayer list. It has no account system, no login, no subscription and no server operated by us.

Your data

Your notes, prayer items, audio recordings and settings are stored locally on your device.

• The app itself does not upload this data, and we never receive it.
• The advertising SDK described below may collect information as explained in that section. Your notes, prayer items and recordings are not passed to the advertising SDK.
• If you use "Share", the text or note card image you choose goes only to the app you pick through Android's share sheet.
• If you use "Export backup", a backup file is saved only to the location you choose (for example your device storage or a cloud drive app you select). If you use "Import backup", the app reads only the file you pick.
• Deleted notes stay in the app's trash for 30 days so you can restore them, and are then permanently removed from your device.
• Android's standard app backup may include app data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Permissions

• Microphone — requested only when you tap "Record" in a note, to record audio of a sermon. Recordings are saved as audio files on your device. The app itself does not send them off the device, does not transcribe them and never records unless you start a recording. You can decline; writing notes still works.
• Foreground service (microphone) — keeps a recording you started running while your screen is off, with a visible notification until you stop it.
• Notifications — for the recording notification and occasional optional reminders (for example a Sunday reminder). You can decline or turn them off.
• Alarms and run at startup — to schedule the optional reminders and restore them after the phone restarts.
• Internet / network state / advertising ID — used by the advertising SDK described below. The Bible texts are built into the app and work offline.

Pewlio does not request location, contacts, camera, phone call, SMS, calendar or photo library permissions.

Advertising and information collected automatically

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob (never on the note editor or recording screen). Ads are limited to content rated for general audiences. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK may collect and share with Google information such as your device's advertising identifier and other device identifiers, approximate location derived from your IP address, app interactions (for example ad views and taps), crash logs and diagnostics. This data is shared with Google as a third party for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention purposes. For more information see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice from the app's Settings screen ("Ad privacy settings") and reset or limit ad personalization in your device settings.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Your app data exists only on your device (and in any backup file you export yourself); uninstalling the app removes the data stored in the app. You can delete any note, recording or prayer item at any time. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights regarding data processed by the advertising SDK; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
