Privacy Policy
How BibleBridge handles data for site owners and their visitors.
BibleBridge is designed to be privacy-friendly by default. We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the service and do not track, profile, or sell user information.
1. What We Collect from Site Owners
When you install BibleBridge or create an account, we may collect:
- Domain name — to provision and identify your API key
- Site name — displayed in your reader header and account dashboard
- Email address — only if you create an account or claim a provisioned key (optional for free tier)
- IP address — for rate limiting and abuse prevention during provisioning
- Platform and version info — sent during auto-provisioning to help diagnose compatibility issues; not shared with third parties
BibleBridge installations may automatically provision a free API key by sending your site URL and site name to the BibleBridge API. No manual registration is required.
2. What We Collect from Visitors
When visitors use a BibleBridge reader on your website, their browser makes API requests to BibleBridge servers. We process:
- IP address — for rate limiting only; not stored or logged
- Requested content — which passages, searches, or topics are accessed
We do not collect visitor names, email addresses, or any personal information. We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics on visitor requests.
3. Local Storage on Visitor Devices
The BibleBridge reader uses the visitor's browser local storage for features like bookmarks, highlights, notes, reading progress, theme preference, and sync codes. This data is stored entirely on the visitor's device and is not transmitted to BibleBridge servers unless the visitor explicitly uses the cloud sync feature.
4. Cloud Sync
Visitors may optionally sync their reading data across devices using a self-generated sync code. No email or account is required. Sync data (highlights, notes, progress) is stored on BibleBridge servers and associated only with the sync code, not with any personally identifiable information.
5. Payment Information
Payments are processed by Stripe. BibleBridge does not store credit card numbers or payment credentials. Stripe's privacy policy governs the handling of payment data.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties. Data may be disclosed only if required by law or to protect the security of the Service.
7. Data Retention
API usage counts are stored for the current day only and reset at midnight UTC. Account information is retained as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting [email protected].
8. CDN and Static Assets
Reader pages load shared CSS, JavaScript, and web fonts from the BibleBridge CDN (holybible.dev/cdn). These are static files served over HTTPS. No visitor data is sent to or collected by the CDN — it only delivers assets to the browser.
9. Security
All communication between the reader and BibleBridge servers uses HTTPS encryption. API keys are transmitted via secure query parameters. Account sessions use secure, HTTP-only cookies.
10. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
