Last updated: June 16, 2026

Data Collection Practices

When you use Christians Bible Companion, we collect specific information necessary to provide and improve your experience. This includes account details such as your name and email address when you register. If you use our contact form, we collect the information you provide in your message.

We also collect reading progress data, including daily check-ins, bookmarks, and streaks, so you can track your journey through Scripture seamlessly across devices.

How User Data is Used

We strictly use your data to maintain your account, sync your reading progress, and deliver personalized study recommendations. Your email is used for account verification, password resets, and critical service notifications. We do not sell your personal data or reading habits to advertisers or any other third parties.

Data Storage and Security Measures

Your data is stored securely using modern database architecture with strict access control rules. Passwords are cryptographically hashed and never stored in plain text. We employ HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit to ensure your connection remains secure.

User Rights (Access, Modification, Deletion)

You maintain full ownership of your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request a comprehensive export of your reading history and account data.
  • Modify your profile information at any time through your account settings.
  • Permanently delete your account and associated reading data, which will immediately remove your records from our active databases.

GDPR & Privacy Compliance

For our users residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our lawful basis for processing your data is the performance of the service contract you enter into when creating an account, as well as your explicit consent for features that require it.

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies necessary for the platform's core functionality, such as keeping you logged in (authentication tokens) and remembering your light/dark theme preference. We do not use aggressive behavioral tracking cookies or third-party advertising pixels on this platform.

Third-Party Services

We may integrate with secure third-party infrastructure providers to host our databases and send automated emails (such as password resets). These providers are contractually bound to strictly safeguard your data and are prohibited from using it for their own purposes.

Data Retention Policies

We retain your account information and reading history for as long as your account is active. If you choose to delete your account, your data is erased from our primary systems immediately, though residual encrypted backups may take up to 30 days to fully cycle out.
