Privacy
Your privacy matters.
Last updated October 27, 2026. This notice covers the current website and explains what information is used when you read, search, comment, save progress, or contact us.
In brief
- You can use the public library without creating an account.
- The site uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate page-view counts. It does not use cookies. We see only totals, not individual visitors.
- If you comment under a daily word, an article, or a saint or feast page, the name you give, your comment, and the time are shown publicly. Your IP address is used only to limit how often comments can be posted; we keep a scrambled (hashed) form of it for 24 hours, apart from your comment, and never show it.
- Course and daily-practice progress is saved in your browser using local storage. It is not sent to our database or synchronized between devices.
- Hosting and security services may record your IP address, the pages you request, browser details, request times, and errors to deliver the website, diagnose problems, and prevent abuse.
- The site does not use advertising trackers. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
- For privacy questions, email support@bibledaybook.com.
The sections below give the details.
About this notice
Bible Daybook is the public name of this independently maintained Christian reading and study project. You can use the public library without creating an account. We do not currently offer visitor accounts, newsletters, advertising, payments, or donations.
For privacy questions, email support@bibledaybook.com.
Browsing and searches
Your browser sends information needed to request a page, including your IP address, the requested address, and browser details. Hosting and security services may record this information, request times, and errors to deliver the website, diagnose problems, and prevent abuse.
Search terms are sent to the site to retrieve results. They can appear in page addresses, browser history, and server logs. Please avoid entering private personal information in search boxes.
Comments
When comments are available under a daily word or at the end of an article or a saint or feast page, you can answer its question without an account. We store what you submit, the name you give (or none), your comment, the page (its address, or for a daily word its date and language), and the time, in our database at Supabase. The name, comment, and time are shown publicly on that page. You do not need to give your real or full name. Please do not post phone numbers, addresses, or private details about yourself or anyone else.
To stop spam without a third-party captcha, the site checks each comment for links and certain words, and limits how often comments can be posted from one IP address. For that limit we keep a keyed hash of your IP address (a scrambled form that is not stored with your comment and is never shown) for 24 hours, then delete it. Comments with links or flagged words wait for a person to check them before they appear. We may hide or delete any comment, for example spam, abuse, or private information.
Comments stay until we remove them. To ask us to delete one of yours, email support@bibledaybook.com with the page and the name and time shown; since comments have no account, we cannot verify who wrote one, so we act on reasonable requests.
Page-view statistics
To learn which pages are useful, the site uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate page-view counts. It does not use cookies. For each page view it records the page address with any search terms or other query text removed, the referring website, approximate location (country, region, and city), and the browser, operating system, and device type.
Instead of a cookie, Vercel recognizes requests during a visit by a temporary value calculated from the request, which it discards after 24 hours. We see only totals, not individual visitors, and the statistics are not used to build a profile of you or to track you across other websites. The site does not use advertising trackers.
Progress saved on your device
Course start and completion markers, and daily-practice completion choices, are saved in your browser using local storage. These markers are not sent to our database or synchronized between devices. They remain until you change them or clear this website’s stored data in your browser.
Anyone using the same browser profile may see that progress. You can read without marking activities complete; blocking local storage may prevent progress from being remembered.
Editor sign-in and cookies
Sign-in is for authorized editors, not a requirement for reading. When editorial services are enabled, Supabase handles editor authentication and the database. This can involve an editor’s email, account identifier, session cookies, and authentication logs. Session cookies support sign-in and access controls. The public reading pages do not currently use advertising or analytics cookies.
Messages you choose to send
When you email support@bibledaybook.com, your email address, message, and any attachments are shared with the project maintainer and the email services that forward and store it. We use these to handle your question, investigate a correction, or respond to a privacy or rights concern. An email link opens your email application; it does not submit a message on this website.
Please send only the details needed to explain the issue. Do not include passwords, private prayer intentions, or confidential information about yourself or someone else. Sending feedback does not subscribe you to marketing.
Service providers and external websites
Information needed to operate the site may be handled by its hosting and security providers, including Vercel, which hosts the site and provides its page-view statistics; Supabase, which stores comments and runs enabled editorial services; and the email provider used for correspondence. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to investigate abuse and protect the service.
Links to Bible editions, reference works, and other organizations take you to separate websites with their own privacy practices. Depending on the services and hosting regions used, information may be processed outside your country.
Keeping and managing information
Browser-local progress stays under your control. Retention of technical logs depends on the hosting and security service settings; no fixed log-retention period is currently specified. Page-view statistics are available to us for one month under the current hosting plan; Vercel may keep them longer. Comments are kept until we remove them, and the hashed IP addresses used to limit posting for 24 hours. Correspondence is kept for handling the request and related correction, security, or legal needs. We do not promise immediate deletion from provider logs or backups.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of personal information, or to raise a concern with a privacy regulator. Send requests to support@bibledaybook.com; we may need information to locate the record and verify the request. Clearing browser site data removes locally stored progress without contacting us.
Updates to this notice
We will update this page when the site’s services or handling of information changes, and show the revision date above. Any new data-collecting feature will need its own accurate explanation and any required privacy choices before it is enabled.
