Selah is built with privacy as a core value. The app does not track you, does not collect personal data, and does not require an account. All information remains on your device and is never shared or transmitted. The app only reaches out to external services to retrieve Scripture and prayer content—no personal data is ever sent.
Selah is a mobile application for iOS developed by Andrea Espinoza that helps you pause for spiritual reflection—reading Scripture, praying, or meditating—before accessing selected apps.
Selah does not collect, store, transmit, or sell:
The app does not use third-party analytics of any kind.
The following information is stored only on your device and never leaves the iOS sandbox:
Managed through Apple's FamilyControls framework. Selah cannot see which apps you open or how long you spend in them; it only knows which apps you manually selected for blocking.
All data is stored securely on your device and may be included in iCloud/iTunes backups based on your device settings.
Selah reaches out to trusted third-party services only to retrieve Scripture and prayer content. The app does not send any personal data to these services.
Services used:

No personal information is transmitted.
Selah uses publicly available information provided through the Joshua Project API to display daily unreached people group data.
Data sent: Developer API key (not linked to the user).
Data received: People group name, region, language, population, and prayer points.
Caching: Data is stored until 2:00 AM CST to minimize requests.
These services may log your device's IP address, which is standard for all web requests.
