YouVersion Bible App

What this pass recorded. Mozilla's 2022 investigation covered prayer apps alongside mental health apps because both categories produce unusually revealing inference material, and it gave the warning label to 28 of the 32 apps reviewed (Mozilla corrected an earlier figure of 29). A scripture app's reading history, highlights, saved verses and prayer entries constitute a religious-observance and personal-crisis record - people search scripture at the worst moments of their lives. Nothing confirmed against YouVersion specifically this pass. The relevant structural point is that this data category attracts no special protection under federal law despite being among the most sensitive a person generates, although some state privacy laws treat religious beliefs as sensitive data.
