1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy describes how Bible Generator / First Hour (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use:

  • Our websites, including biblegenerator.com and related pages; and
  • Our Chrome extension “First Hour — A verse for you” (the “Extension”).

Contact: support@biblegenerator.com.

2. Summary

  • You can use core Scripture content on the website and Extension without creating an account.
  • We use analytics to understand product usage and improve the experience.
  • Free First Hour accounts use email and a password to sync your library. Saving and practice also work on your device without an account. Legacy Supporter payments are handled by Stripe.
  • The Extension does not read your general browsing history or content of unrelated websites.
  • We do not sell your personal information.

3. Information we collect

3.1 Information you provide

  • Support messages: If you email us or submit a contact form, we receive the content you send (such as email address and message text) so we can respond.
  • First Hour account (optional): If you register, we collect your email address and password. We store a password hash (not your plain-text password) and session credentials needed to keep you signed in.
  • Library content you save (optional): Saved verses, named collections, tags, notes, and completed practice prayers and reflections you choose to save. These remain on your device unless you sign in to sync them. Prayer and reflection drafts stay on the device until you choose Save to journal. Account libraries are private and may be exported or deleted in account settings.

3.2 Website usage and analytics

First Hour counts generic website outcomes on its own Railway infrastructure: visits, successful copy/save/context actions, practice completion, errors by category, and useful return visits. Context includes interface language, broad page type, broad acquisition source, code version, and coarse count/time buckets.

These metrics do not include page URLs or titles, referring URLs, exact topics, verse references, translation choices, search text, email, password, account identity, notes, collection names, prayers or reflections. This release does not load Google Analytics. Our hosting infrastructure still processes network addresses and operational logs to serve and protect the site.

Measurement uses random browser session and retry identifiers. We store only day-scoped hashed retry receipts and daily aggregate counts. Local device state identifies the first useful action and later useful returns without sending a persistent device identifier.

. Turning this off stops new measurement and clears measurement state without removing your library. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control also disable measurement. If preference storage is blocked, measurement stays off.

3.3 Chrome Extension usage and analytics

The Extension’s purpose is to show Bible verses (KJV) on the new tab and popup, allow sharing of verses, and optionally sync a free First Hour library.

The v202610.4 extension keeps saved verses, collections, notes, practice drafts, and theme choices in local device storage. If you sign in, it stores an opaque session token and sends your library changes to our account API over HTTPS. It sends basic new-tab and popup open and visible-verse events through our first-party collector to Google Analytics 4. These events contain only the surface, extension version, random installation ID and temporary browser session ID. The extension does not read unrelated pages or request browsing-history, microphone or camera access.

Website analytics record only generic outcomes such as a successful save or practice completion. They exclude your scripture choices and private writing. You may opt out of website analytics through the privacy controls.

Earlier extension releases may send pseudonymous product events to our analytics endpoint, including verse references, surface, version, language, and share destination. The v202610.4 runtime sends generic open and visible-verse events only; it excludes verse references, scripture choices, concern queries, private writing and account details. Extension usage analytics is always on, with no in-app setting to disable it. Browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals do not disable these generic extension events. If extension storage is unavailable, identifiers last only for the background worker’s lifetime.

3.4 Payments (optional Supporter membership)

If you start a paid Supporter membership, checkout is handled by Stripe. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Stripe processes payment and billing details under its own terms and privacy policy. We may receive limited billing-related information needed to grant access (for example subscription status, plan, period end, and Stripe customer/subscription identifiers).

3.5 Information we do not intentionally collect

  • Government ID numbers, precise GPS coordinates as a product feature, health records, or contacts lists;
  • Your Chrome browsing history outside the Extension’s own pages;
  • Payment card PAN/CVC on our infrastructure (handled by Stripe Checkout).

4. How we use information

  • Provide Scripture content, the Extension experience, and related site features;
  • Operate free First Hour accounts and sync library data; maintain any legacy Supporter memberships;
  • Measure and improve product quality (including verse selection, reliability, and feature usage);
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
  • Respond to support requests and communicate about the service;
  • Comply with law and enforce our terms.

We process information where needed to perform our contract with you (for example providing a paid membership you requested), where we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving a free Scripture product (balanced against your rights), where required by law, or with your consent where applicable.

5. How we share information

We may share information with:

  • Service providers / processors who help us run the product, including hosting and databases (Railway for the new release; Vercel during the production migration), legacy payments (Stripe), and email/support tools. They may process data only as needed to provide services to us.
  • Legal and safety: if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may transfer subject to appropriate confidentiality and notice practices.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are commonly defined under US state privacy laws. We do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

6. Chrome Web Store and permissions

The Extension requests only the permissions needed for its single purpose:

  • contextMenus — look up a Bible reference only when you explicitly use the selection menu; no passive page inspection;
  • storage — local preferences, saved verses, collections, notes, practice drafts and journals, and optional First Hour session/library cache;
  • host access to the account API at biblegenerator.com — to authenticate and sync your private library when you choose to sign in.

Remote code is not loaded into the Extension package; network calls send structured data to our APIs rather than executing third-party scripts inside the Extension.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for essential operation, preferences, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect analytics or non-essential features; core reading features remain available. The Extension primarily uses Chrome extension storage rather than website cookies.

8. Data retention

Your free First Hour account library is retained until you delete its entries or delete your account. Account deletion removes its library and sessions. Device-only library content remains on that device until removed, cleared, or uninstalled.

  • Analytics: daily aggregate product counts are kept for up to 400 days and day-scoped retry receipts for seven days, with cleanup on subsequent accepted traffic. Existing historical provider records are separate from this new collector.
  • Support messages: retained as needed to resolve your request and maintain basic business records.
  • Supporter accounts: retained while the account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for support, fraud prevention, dispute handling, and legal/accounting obligations. Billing records may be retained by Stripe as required by law.
  • Local Extension data: remains on your device until you clear site/extension data or uninstall the Extension.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the data (for example HTTPS in transit, hashed passwords for accounts, least-privilege access to production systems). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International processing

We and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Those locations may have different data-protection laws than your home country. Where required, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms used by our providers.

11. Children

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Your choices and rights

  • Website analytics: use the checkbox above to opt out. We also honor Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Reading, saving and practice remain available.
  • Extension analytics: usage measurement is part of the Extension and has no in-app disable setting. Uninstalling the Extension stops future collection. Data already sent may remain in analytics systems subject to retention.
  • First Hour account: export your account library or delete your account in account settings. Legacy Supporter billing may be managed through Stripe’s portal when available; support can help with legacy account requests.
  • Privacy requests: depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, or to object to certain processing. Email support@biblegenerator.com. We may need to verify your request and will respond within the time required by applicable law.

If you are in the EEA/UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern.

13. Third-party links and services

Our site or Extension may link to third-party sites (for example social networks when you share a verse, or Stripe Checkout). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for third-party practices.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be highlighted on the site or communicated by other reasonable means. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.

15. Limitation and disclaimers (service nature)

Scripture content is provided for personal inspiration and education. We do not provide legal, medical, financial, or professional counseling advice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we provide the services “as is,” and our total liability arising out of privacy-related claims is limited as set out in our Terms of Service, except where liability cannot be limited under applicable law.
