Last updated: January 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how ReadTheBibleOnline.com ("we", "our", or "the site") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors.

1. Information We Collect

No personal data is collected through the Bible reader. All scripture browsing happens entirely in your browser. We do not store what passages you read or what searches you perform.

Analytics: We may use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about site traffic — pages visited, session duration, device type, and approximate geographic region. This data cannot identify you personally.

2. Cookies & Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings.

We also store a single cookie (rtbo-dark) locally in your browser to remember your dark mode preference. This cookie is never transmitted to any server.

3. Third-Party API

Bible text is served through bible-api.com, a free public API. When you read a chapter, your browser makes a request to their servers. Please review bible-api.com for their data practices.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties, except as necessary to operate the advertising and analytics services described above.

5. Children's Privacy

This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to opt out of analytics tracking by using browser privacy settings or installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
