Privacy Policy

The short version: there are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no cookies. Almost nothing leaves your browser, and what does is listed below.

What stays in your browser

Your reading progress, prayer rope counts, quiz history, theme and calendar preference are kept in your own browser using local storage. They are never sent anywhere, never seen by anyone else, and are not readable by this site from any other device. Clearing your browser data erases them, and nothing is kept elsewhere to restore them from. The one exception is your reading, if you choose to share it with Constans (below).

What leaves your browser

The community count. The header shows how many people are in the Discord server. That is a request to Discord's public widget for the server. It asks Discord a question about the server; it sends Discord nothing about you beyond the ordinary details of any web request, such as your IP address.

Suggestions. If you use the Suggest form, what you type is sent to this site and turned into an email: the kind of suggestion, the category, your title and description, any sources you list, and a name or contact only if you choose to give one. Nothing is stored in a database. The email is delivered by Resend, who handle it on the way and who therefore see it. If the contact you give looks like an email address it becomes the reply address, so that a reply reaches you; if it does not, no reply address is set and there is no way to write back. Do not put anything sensitive in the form.

Search by meaning. When you search by meaning, in the search box or for a passage of the New Testament, the words you typed are sent to this site, and Cloudflare's AI turns them into numbers to find the nearest pages. Nothing else about you goes with them. Each question's answer is kept in Cloudflare's cache for a day, so that the same question is answered at once next time; the words are not otherwise kept or logged, and Cloudflare does not use them to train its models.

Your reading, shared with Constans. Only if you ask for it. On the Bible's page, “Share my reading with Constans” gives a code, and /link with that code in the Discord server ties this browser to your Discord account. From then on this browser sends this site the chapters of the Bible you mark as read, the last one you opened and the verse that was at the top of your screen there, and your Learn quiz in short: how many topics you have met, how many answers you have given and how many were right, your streak, how many topics of each part of the map you hold, up to five topics you last answered wrong, and the date and score of today's five. Constans uses them when it talks with you. They are kept with its memory of you until you press “Stop sharing” or use /forget-me.

What is not collected

No analytics or tracking scripts of any kind. No advertising. No cookies. No profile of you, no reading history sent anywhere, and nothing shared or sold. There are no accounts and no sign-in: not for readers, and not for anyone. Typefaces are served from this site rather than fetched from a font service, so reading a page contacts nobody but this server. An ordinary visit touches no database at all. The only exception is the reading you choose to share with Constans, below.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps ordinary web server logs. The suggestion form is handled by a small program on the same domain. It keeps a count of the emails it has sent. For one day it and Resend also keep a one-way fingerprint of each suggestion, made from the message and the sender's IP address, so that a double tap sends one email. The fingerprint cannot be turned back into the message or the address.

The Discord server's AI member

The Discord server has an AI member, Constans, run by this site on Cloudflare. To keep the server safe it reads every post, removes only clearly harmful ones, telling the poster privately, and shows the moderators what may break the rules. To take part in the conversation it keeps the last seven days of messages in the server's channels and a short note about each member, rewritten now and then. Both stay with the server and are never sold or shared. They are read by Cloudflare's AI models, which do not use them for training. What it says about the faith is drawn from this site.

The server itself is on Discord, a separate service: what you post there is also kept by Discord, under Discord's own privacy policy.

In the server, /memory shows a member, privately, what Constans keeps about them; /forget-me erases it and stops it keeping anything new of theirs; /remember-me lets it remember them again. Messages are deleted after seven days.

Members under 18 have a channel of their own with Constans. It keeps no note about them, and asks each of them once for the month and year they were born, so that a moderator can tell when they turn 18. It keeps only the month they turn 18 and the day they gave it. That is deleted when a moderator lifts the under-18 role, or once it is six months past that month and unused for three; a moderator can delete it sooner if asked. From the age of 16, by that birthday, they may share their reading with Constans as described above; younger members cannot.

In a voice channel it hears only while it is in the call. Speech is turned into words on a computer of this site's own, and the sound is never recorded or kept; if that computer cannot hear for a moment, the sound is sent to Cloudflare's AI to be turned into words instead, and is not kept there either. Only what is said to Constans, after its name or by the person it has just answered, and its replies are kept, as text, with the seven days of conversation.

Members under 18 also have a voice channel of their own, open only while Constans can listen in it. He joins whenever one of them is there and answers no one. Their speech is turned into words on a computer of this site's own; the sound never leaves it and is not kept, and the words are checked there and forgotten at once. A phrase that may break the server's rules is sent, as words only, to Cloudflare's AI to be judged. When Constans warns someone, or a moderator needs to look, the words he heard, who said them and when go to the moderators' channel; nothing else is kept. Only a moderator can close the channel to someone.

Removing a suggestion

A suggestion is an email in one inbox, so there is nothing to delete from a database and no queue to remove you from. If you would like the message itself deleted, ask through the Discord server.
