Privacy policy
We’re still finishing this page. Everything below is true of Reed today; a fuller version, with our legal contact details, is on its way.
Where your study lives
Your notes, reflections, prayers, highlights, and the links you draw sit in row-level-isolated storage on Reed’s own infrastructure. The embeddings that index them — the math that lets Reed find your own past writing — are computed in-infrastructure and are not sent to an outside API.
Where your words do go
Some things leave, and we would rather be precise about which than give you a comforting sentence.
Saving a note indexes it on our own infrastructure. That happens automatically on every save, so it can be found later.
Recording is the one place audio leaves your device by default. Audio streams to our transcription provider while you record — that is how a live transcript exists at all — and the finished recording is fetched by that provider to produce the full text. There is no toggle that keeps a live recording on the device today.
Summaries are drawn in the cloud. There is no on-device summary option today. A summary is built from the recording’s transcript; the note you wrote alongside it is not part of what is sent.
The assistant sends the question you asked and the notes it read in order to answer it.
Importing a document into a devotional plan asks first, and nothing is sent before you agree.
What we don’t do
No ads. We do not sell your notes or mine them to sell you things. What we will not do is make a blanket promise about what every company in that chain does with data — their policies are theirs, not our code. We would rather name the flows above and let you judge them.
This is row-level isolation, not a system where even we cannot see your data. We can technically access it. We say what is true rather than what sounds impressive.
Your control
Export every note as Markdown or PDF, with a recording’s transcript where there is one, any time. Your notes are Markdown underneath, so they open anywhere, with or without us. Verse highlights and note-to-note links are not yet included in the export archive. Account deletion and the contact address for making that request are both being finalized — see below.
This website
This marketing site sets no cookies and does not follow you to any other site. It does count visits — how many people arrived and which page or link brought them — using a cookieless measurement that builds no profile of you, keeps no history tied to you, and records nothing you type. No account is needed to read this site, and none is created by reading it: we hold no personal information about visitors here at all. One more thing leaves this site: a question typed into the live demo is sent to a third-party model provider to answer it, together with the sample library written for this page. No real account is involved — this site holds none — and your question isn’t stored by us. The demo is rate-limited, and when it isn’t reachable the page falls back to recorded answers and says so.
Contact
We’re finalizing a monitored contact address for privacy questions and will post it here, along with our legal details, before long.
Before you ask
What does the AI actually do?
It surfaces your own past notes and related verses, drafts sermon summaries you can revise, and — with the assistant — can reason across your library. It’s built to work from two things: Scripture, and what you’ve written. Anything it draws from general knowledge is labelled as general context, not as something from your notes. It claims no doctrinal authority, and on what a passage means for you it points you back to your own pastor and your own church.
How private is my data?
Your notes sit in row-level-isolated storage, and the embeddings that index them are computed in-infrastructure. Beyond that, here’s where your words actually go: recording streams audio off your device by default — that’s how a live transcript exists at all; importing a document asks first; and asking the assistant sends your question plus the notes it read to answer it. Summaries are drawn in the cloud — there’s no on-device summary option today. And we won’t dress it up: we can technically access the underlying data, so this isn’t a system where even we can’t see it. We’d rather tell you exactly what’s true than borrow a stronger-sounding word.
Can I bring in my notes from other apps?
Google Docs syncs both ways — the Docs and folders you pick pull in, and the notes linked to them push back, when you hit Sync now. Notion is one-way in for now: your pages come to Reed, and note bodies don’t travel back. Anything else, drop it in as a file — Markdown, plain text, a Notion export, an Evernote export — and it’s imported once, safely, with no duplicates.
Can I get my study back out?
Always. Export every note as Markdown or PDF, with a recording’s transcript included where there is one. Your notes were never in a proprietary format to begin with — they’re Markdown underneath, so they open anywhere, with or without us. Verse highlights and note-to-note links aren’t in the export archive yet; that’s a gap we’d rather name than let you discover.
What does it cost?
Free to start, and reading is not the part we charge for. Reed Complete is an optional upgrade that runs sermon summaries and assistant answers through our cloud engine — more capable, and it leaves your device. We haven’t set its price yet, so we’re not going to print one. Either way, we won’t lock your own words behind a paywall.
