Last updated: January 2025
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ By Canadians, For Canadians

โœฆ The short version: BibleWell does not collect, store, or share any personal data. Your notes and highlights live only on your device. We will never sell your information. Ever.

Who We Are

BibleWell is a free Bible app built in Canada and designed to serve believers everywhere. This Privacy Policy explains how BibleWell handles information when you use our app at biblewell.ca.

Information We Do Not Collect

BibleWell is built on a simple principle: your spiritual life is private. We do not collect:

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

BibleWell stores the following data only on your device using your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to any server:

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or uninstalling the app.

Scripture Loading

When you read chapters not embedded in the app, BibleWell makes a request to a third-party scripture API (bible.helloao.org) to retrieve Bible text. This request may include your IP address as part of standard internet communication, but no personal identifying information is sent. We do not control or store data from these requests.

Google AdSense

BibleWell displays advertisements served by Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-3768558359690403) to help support free access for all users. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to serve relevant ads. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

Donations via Stripe

If you choose to support BibleWell financially, you will be redirected to Stripe's secure payment platform. BibleWell does not collect or store any payment information. All payment data is handled directly by Stripe and governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

AI Scripture Insights

When you use the AI Verse Insight feature, the selected verse text and reference are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate an explanation. No personal information is included in this request. Please refer to Anthropic's Privacy Policy for how they handle API data.

Children's Privacy

BibleWell is a faith-based app suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any information from children or any users, in accordance with Canada's PIPEDA and applicable privacy laws.

Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law

BibleWell complies with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Since we do not collect personal information, there is nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions, please contact us below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of BibleWell after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
