These writings are personal reflections based on Jesus’ own words of hope, guidance, and peace within Scripture—penned by one who loved Him and revered His Word.

Regular Updates and Notifications: Stay informed about upcoming quizzes and new features. Our app keeps you connected and engaged with timely notifications. Clipboard access on first launch (referral deep links) Lighthouse Bible Quiz has a friend-referral feature. A user shares a link such as https://app.lighthousequiz.com/... and the friend who installs the app from that link is credited to the referrer. On a fresh install the app may check the clipboard once to recover that referral link if the user copied it before installing. This is how the app reads it: 1. The check runs only once per install, right after first launch, and never again. 2. The app first asks iOS whether the clipboard contains a web URL using UIPasteboard.detectPatterns. This call does not read the clipboard contents and does not show a system prompt. If no URL is present, the app stops and nothing is read. 3. Only when a URL is present does the app read the clipboard text. On iOS 16 and later this triggers the system "Allow Paste" prompt, so the user is informed and can decline. If the user declines, the app continues normally with no referral. 4. The text is accepted only if it is an https link on one of our own domains (lighthousequiz.com, app.lighthousequiz.com and our staging host). Any other content is ignored and discarded immediately. 5. The only value kept is the referral code taken from our own link. It is used solely to credit the referring friend when the new user signs up. The clipboard content itself is never stored, logged, sent to any third party, or used for advertising or tracking. The clipboard is not cleared or modified. A separate App Tracking Transparency prompt also appears on first launch. It is shown by our attribution partner (Linkrunner) and is used for the same referral-credit purpose. The app is fully functional if the user selects "Ask App Not to Track"; referrals are then matched without the advertising identifier.
