6. AI Guide Messaging Service
6.1 Overview
The Service includes an optional AI Guide Messaging feature (the “Guide”) that allows you to receive and send messages through external messaging channels, including but not limited to Apple iMessage, SMS/RCS, and Telegram (each, a “Messaging Channel”). The Guide is an artificial intelligence system that communicates using a chosen persona (such as “Sarah” or “John”). The Guide is not a real person. All messages sent by the Guide are generated by artificial intelligence.
6.2 Linking Your Messaging Account
To use the Guide, you must link your phone number or external messaging account to your Bible Guide account through the App. By completing the linking process, you:
- (a) confirm that you are the owner or authorized user of the phone number or messaging account you are linking;
- (b) consent to receiving automated, AI-generated messages from the Service at that phone number or messaging account, as described in these Terms;
- (c) acknowledge that standard messaging and data rates from your wireless carrier or internet provider may apply to messages you send and receive through the Guide, and that you are solely responsible for any such charges;
- (d) acknowledge that the Guide is an AI system, not a human, and that all messages from the Guide are generated by artificial intelligence; and
- (e) confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction).
6.3 Consent to Automated Messages
By linking a Messaging Channel to the Service, you expressly consent to receiving automated messages from us at the phone number or messaging account you have linked. These messages may include:
- proactive check-in messages initiated by the Guide based on your app activity and preferences;
- responses to messages you send to the Guide;
- welcome and onboarding messages when you first link your account;
- system notices related to your Guide connection status; and
- messages containing Scripture, devotional content, prayer prompts, and faith-based encouragement.
Message frequency varies based on your activity, preferences, and the cadence settings you configure. You may receive messages as frequently as once every few days or as infrequently as once every two weeks, depending on your engagement.
You acknowledge that your consent to receive automated messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service from us.
For users in the United States: This consent is provided in compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. Section 227, and applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. You consent to receiving autodialed and/or automated text messages at the phone number you provide.
For users in Canada: This consent is provided in compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), S.C. 2010, c. 23. You consent to receiving electronic messages from the Service at the contact information you provide.
6.4 Opt-Out and Disconnection
You may stop receiving Guide messages at any time through any of the following methods:
- (a) Reply keyword: Reply “STOP,” “UNSUBSCRIBE,” or “PAUSE” to any message from the Guide. This will deactivate your Guide connection for that Messaging Channel. You may reactivate at any time by replying “START” or “RESUME,” or by re-linking through the App.
- (b) In-app settings: Navigate to Settings within the App and tap “Disconnect” for the applicable Messaging Channel.
- (c) Contact support: Email support@dailybibleguide.com with your request.
Opting out of the Guide does not delete your Bible Guide account or cancel any active subscription. To delete your account, see Section 7. To cancel a subscription, see Section 5.
Following a request to opt out, you may receive one final confirmation message acknowledging your request. No further Guide messages will be sent to that Messaging Channel unless you re-link or reactivate.
6.5 Message Timing and Quiet Hours
You may configure preferred message timing and quiet hours through the App’s settings. The Guide will respect these preferences when scheduling outbound messages. We make reasonable efforts to deliver messages within your configured windows, but we do not guarantee exact delivery times.
6.6 Number Changes and Service Continuity
From time to time, the phone number from which the Guide sends messages may change due to technical or operational reasons. If this occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you through a message from the new number and/or through a push notification or in-app notice. You may need to re-link your account to continue receiving messages. We are not liable for any interruption in Guide messaging due to number changes, carrier issues, or platform limitations.
7. Account Deletion (In-App + Web)
A) In-App deletion
You can initiate account deletion within the App (for example, via Settings → Account → Delete Account).
- Deleting your account removes your account record and associated data from our systems, including Guide conversation history and linked Messaging Channel data, except where retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, or accounting purposes.
- We aim to complete deletion within 30 days.
B) Web deletion request
If you cannot access the App, you can request deletion via: https://bibleguidedaily.com/delete-account
Important: Deleting your account does not automatically cancel store subscriptions. You must cancel through Apple/Google (see Section 5). Deleting your account will automatically disconnect all linked Messaging Channels and stop all Guide messages.
8. Faith/Devotional Content, AI Limitations, and Disclaimers (Not Professional Advice)
8.1 General AI Disclaimer
The Service provides faith-oriented devotional content and interactive features, including the in-app chat and the AI Guide Messaging Service, that use artificial intelligence to generate responses.
