Privacy Policy — Misia Wordcast

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Misia Wordcast is published by Miroslav Zahorak for Misia. It lets you browse sermons by language, listen to audio, download sermons and read available transcripts. No account is required. The app has no advertising SDKs, advertising trackers or third-party usage analytics.

Information stored on your device

Misia Wordcast checks available storage locally before downloading audio so it can avoid downloads when space is low. Disk-space information is not sent to Misia or used for tracking.

Misia Wordcast stores cached sermon and language information, downloaded audio and available transcripts and artwork, playback position and history, favourites, collections, saved searches, and app preferences on your device. Listening progress, favourites, collections and search text are not uploaded as a listening profile. Your device's backup settings may retain a backup of app data.

Use Settings → Reset all to remove saved listening data and downloads. This does not replace the separate notification controls or delete all technical logs or support correspondence held by service providers. Uninstalling removes the app's local data, subject to backups, but cannot reliably tell the server to delete an old notification registration.

Requests for sermons and other content

When online, Misia Wordcast requests the language catalogue, sermon information, audio, artwork and available transcripts from nasa.misia.sk and the media hosts identified by that service. The server receives the requested resource, ordinary connection information such as an IP address, and technical request details needed to deliver content and maintain security. These requests can reveal which sermon or language you requested. Downloaded content is available offline; a first download or content update needs an internet connection.

Optional notifications and device-linked data

The Android public test schedules broadcast reminders and download alerts on your device without creating a server notification registration.

On iPhone and iPad, if you enable new-sermon notifications, Misia Wordcast sends a randomly generated app-installation identifier, an Apple Push Notification service (APNs) token, the platform and app bundle identifier, followed language/podcast IDs, notification choices and content-language preferences to the Misia Wordcast server. These preferences are linked to your device installation so the server can address the notifications you requested. A random identifier does not make this data anonymous. No name, email address or account is required to enable notifications.

We use this registration for app functionality and notification delivery, not to track you across other companies' apps or websites, advertise to you, or sell your data. Local upcoming-broadcast reminders and download-complete alerts are scheduled on your device. The app does not ask you to state your religious beliefs; the sermons and languages you choose are used as content and notification preferences.

Turning notifications off and retention

On iPhone and iPad, turn off “Notify about new sermons” in Misia Wordcast Settings to request deletion of your server notification registration. If the device is offline or the request fails, the app keeps the deletion request locally and retries when you next open Misia Wordcast online. If you revoke notification permission in iOS Settings, reopen Misia Wordcast so it can update the server. iOS also independently controls whether notifications may be displayed.

Registration data is kept until that deletion request succeeds or we process your deletion request by email. Deleting the app alone does not guarantee deletion of the server registration. Technical security logs and backups may remain for as long as needed to operate and protect the service or meet legal obligations. To request access, correction or deletion, email info@misia.sk. If available, include the Support ID shown in Settings → Privacy Policy so we can locate your notification registration. Never post that ID or your APNs token publicly.

Support messages

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use correspondence to answer your enquiry and investigate the issue, and retain it as needed for the enquiry and related follow-up. Do not send passwords, push tokens or unnecessary sensitive personal information. You may ask us to delete correspondence; legal obligations and existing backups may limit immediate deletion.

Service providers and website hosting

Misia's servers and media hosting providers deliver content and handle notification registrations. Apple delivers notifications through APNs. Our email providers process support correspondence. The privacy, support and terms pages are hosted by GitHub Pages. These providers may process IP addresses and technical request information to deliver and secure their services. See Apple's privacy policy and GitHub's privacy statement.

Permissions, children and your choices

Misia Wordcast does not request your camera, microphone, location, contacts or photo library. Notifications are optional; declining them does not prevent listening. The app is not offered as a children's service. Children should ask a parent or guardian before sending personal information in a support enquiry.

You can use downloaded content offline, choose followed languages, delete local downloads and saved listening data, disable notifications, and contact us about server data. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection and to complain to your local data protection authority. Contact info@misia.sk for privacy questions or requests.

Slovenské zhrnutie

Misia Wordcast umožňuje počúvať kázne a uložiť si ich na počúvanie bez internetu. Nevyžaduje účet a neobsahuje reklamu ani analytické sledovanie. História počúvania, obľúbené položky, zbierky, vyhľadávanie a nastavenia zostávajú v zariadení. Pri sťahovaní obsahu servery spracúvajú požadovaný obsah, IP adresu a technické údaje spojenia. Ak povolíte upozornenia na nové kázne, server uloží identifikátor inštalácie, push token a voľby jazykov a upozornení prepojené s vaším zariadením. Vypnutie tejto voľby požiada server o vymazanie registrácie; bez internetu sa požiadavka zopakuje pri ďalšom otvorení aplikácie online. Samotné odinštalovanie nemusí vymazať serverovú registráciu. Webové stránky sú na GitHub Pages. O prístup, opravu či vymazanie údajov môžete požiadať na info@misia.sk. Ak je dostupné, priložte Support ID zo stránky Ochrana súkromia v nastaveniach aplikácie; nezverejňujte ho.
