Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 2026
Privacy Summary: We collect minimal information, do not sell personal information, and only use data needed to operate Bible & Context, improve the experience, and send updates if you choose to subscribe.
We respect your privacy. We collect minimal data, never sell it, and use it only to improve the study experience.
1. Information We Collect
Voluntary Information
If you sign up for email updates, contact us, or otherwise choose to provide information, we may collect your email address and any information you include in a message you send to us.
Usage Data
We may use privacy-focused analytics tools, such as Vercel Analytics, to better understand how the site is used, which pages are most helpful, and how the site is performing. Where possible, this information is aggregated or anonymized.
Local Preferences
We may use your browser's local storage to remember preferences such as theme selection, translation choices, or other interface settings. This information stays on your device and is not used to personally identify you.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information we collect to:
- provide, maintain, and improve the service
- understand which features and content are most useful
- send email updates if you explicitly opted in
- protect the site, prevent abuse, and maintain security
- respond to messages or support requests you send us
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
3. Email Communications
If you subscribe to receive updates from Bible & Context, we may use your email address to send occasional communications such as project updates, new resources, important announcements, or other Bible & Context-related news.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in email messages or through the site's email preference tools where available.
4. Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party providers to operate parts of the site and its supporting infrastructure. These may include providers for:
- hosting and deployment, such as Vercel

These providers may process limited technical or personal information as needed to deliver their services. We seek to work with providers that follow standard security and data protection practices.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service and fulfill the purpose for which the information was provided.
For example, email addresses submitted for updates may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, unless retention is needed for security, recordkeeping, or legal reasons.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us.
7. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted to the site. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
Bible & Context is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, please contact us so we can review and remove it if appropriate.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the platform, legal requirements, or privacy practices. When we do, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised.
