Linen
Terms of Use
1. Who we are
Linen is published by the developer of Linen as shown on Linen's App Store page ("Linen", "we", "us"). You can reach us at linen@decky.cc or through our support page.
Linen is licensed to you under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement, together with these terms. By using Linen or linenbible.com you agree to them. If they conflict, these terms apply to the features they describe.
2. Who can use Linen
Anyone can read the Bible in Linen. You must be 13 or older to share prayers, send notes to someone who asked for prayer, choose a display name or become a prayer partner. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use Linen with a parent's or guardian's permission.
3. Premium subscriptions
- Linen Premium is available monthly (US$6.99) or yearly (US$39.99, with a 7-day free trial). Prices may vary by country.
- The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you will be charged the yearly price.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account.
- Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings. Unused trial time is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
4. The AI Bible study guide
Lydia, Priscilla, Phoebe, Timothy and Barnabas are names for an AI that answers questions about the Bible. They are not real people, and not the people in the Bible whose names they borrow.
- Not pastoral, medical, legal or financial advice. The guide is not a pastor, priest, counsellor, doctor or lawyer, and does not hear confession, give absolution or administer sacraments. For decisions about your health, safety, money or legal matters, talk to a qualified person. For spiritual care, talk to a pastor, priest or someone you trust.
- It can be wrong. Answers are generated by AI and may be inaccurate or incomplete. Every answer points to the verses it draws on so you can read them yourself. Don't rely on an answer without checking it.
- Not for emergencies. If you or someone else is in danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). In the US you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
- Don't use the guide to produce anything unlawful or harmful, or try to make it ignore its instructions. Free accounts can ask 3 questions a day; we may limit use to protect the service.
5. Sharing prayers
When you share a prayer, Linen makes a private link. Anyone who has the link can read the prayer and tap "I prayed", in the app or on the web. There is no public feed, no search and no messaging between people. You choose whom to send it to.
Your content
What you write (prayers, updates, notes, your display name) stays yours. By sharing it, you give us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store it, check it and show it to the people you shared it with, only to run prayer sharing and for as long as it is shared (see the privacy policy for how long). You are responsible for what you share. Only share another person's story if they are happy for you to.
The rules
Everything you share must follow the community guidelines. In short: be kind; nothing sexual; no harassment, threats or hate; no links, phone numbers, emails or social media names; never ask for money, gifts or donations; nothing unlawful; don't pretend to be someone else, or to be Linen.
Checking, reporting and removal
- We check shared words automatically before they are saved and may refuse them.
- Anyone can report a prayer or a note, and block the person who wrote it. Reported content is hidden from the person who reported it straight away. We review reports within 24 hours.
- We may remove any shared content, and turn off sharing for a device, if we believe it breaks these terms or the guidelines, or to protect someone. Where there is a risk of serious harm, we may preserve the content and share it with the authorities when the law requires it.
- Shared prayers are deleted from our server after the periods in the privacy policy. Keep your own copy if you want it: it stays in My prayers on your phone.
6. Content in Linen
The Bible translations in Linen (World English Bible, Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, Douay-Rheims) are in the public domain. Devotional and prayer texts, plans, recordings and artwork are written or made for Linen and are provided for your personal, non-commercial use.
7. Acceptable use
Don't misuse Linen: no attempts to break, overload or get around its limits or security, to collect other people's data, to find prayers you weren't sent, or to use it to send spam.
8. No warranty, and limits on liability
Linen is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we make no promise that it will always be available, error-free or that AI answers will be accurate, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for content other people share. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.
9. Changes, ending, and law
We may update these terms; we'll change the date above and, for material changes, tell you in the app. You can stop using Linen at any time and delete your data as described in the privacy policy. These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore will decide any dispute about them. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the laws where you live, or your right to bring a claim in your local courts where those laws give you one.
