Privacy Policy: Patron Saints

The Patron Saints app is made by Nguyễn Hoàng Bảo Ngọc. We respect your privacy.

We do not collect personal data. The app needs no account, has no ads, does not track you, and does not sell or share your personal information.

What you record stays only on your device. This includes your patron saint, your loved ones and their patron saints, the page you are reading, the words you save, the candles you light, your intentions, your reminder times and your reading settings. The Home Screen widget reads your patron saint and your loved ones’ names from your own device. None of this is sent anywhere. You can delete all of it in Settings, under “Delete what I’ve saved”, or by removing the app.

Reminders (the daily reminder at the time you choose, and the feast-day reminder at 8 a.m.) are notifications scheduled by your iPhone itself. They do not pass through any server.

Photos: the app only asks permission to add images to your library when you tap “Save to Photos” to save a card you have made. The app does not read your photos.

The illustrations in the chapters are downloaded from our image server (img.cacthanhbonmang.com, hosted on Cloudflare). Like any website, the server may record basic technical information such as your IP address in order to send the images to you. We do not use this information to identify or track you.

No analytics or advertising tools: the app has no usage counters, sends no automatic crash reports, and contains no third-party advertising or tracking code.

The only third party: Cloudflare. Cloudflare stores and delivers the illustrations and the website. Cloudflare receives only the technical information needed to send the images (such as your IP address and browser type), and nothing you record in the app. Cloudflare handles this information under its own privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy), with an equivalent level of protection. We do not sell, rent or share information with anyone else.

Keeping and deleting data: what you record in the app stays on your device until you delete it. You can delete it completely in Settings, under “Delete what I’ve saved”: everything you have saved, scheduled reminders, widget data and downloaded illustrations are all removed from your device. Removing the app also deletes everything. Because we keep none of your data on any server, there is nothing more for you to ask us to delete. If you still have a question, just write to the address below.

Your choices: you can turn off reminders, or withdraw permission for notifications and for adding photos, at any time in your iPhone’s Settings.

Children: the app does not collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy: if this policy changes, we will update this page and show the date of the update at the top.
