Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Read in Context collects, uses, shares, and protects information when people use the site and related services.

Read in Context may use AI providers, hosting providers, analytics tools, feedback tools, security tools, logs, cookies, and similar technologies to operate and improve the service.

2. Information you provide

You may provide information such as Bible passage searches, language preference, feedback responses, written comments if offered, contact information if you contact Read in Context, and any other information you choose to submit.

Do not enter sensitive personal information, private details about another person, confidential counseling needs, emergency situations, medical information, legal information, or anything you would not want processed by an AI or online service.

3. Information collected automatically

Read in Context is hosted online, so hosting providers and basic web infrastructure may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps, referring pages, and diagnostic logs.

This technical information is typically used to deliver the site, keep it secure, troubleshoot errors, understand performance, and prevent misuse.

4. Cookies and analytics

Read in Context may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics scripts, server logs, or similar technologies to understand usage, measure performance, improve design, diagnose problems, prevent abuse, and evaluate product decisions.

Analytics may include information such as pages viewed, interactions, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser details, referral source, session activity, and general usage patterns.

5. AI processing

When you request context for a passage, Read in Context may send your passage request, selected language, system instructions, and related context to an AI provider from a secure backend route. API keys should remain server-side and should not be exposed in frontend code.

AI providers may process submitted information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and data handling practices. Do not submit sensitive personal information or confidential situations in passage requests.

6. Feedback

If you use feedback features, Read in Context may collect your helpful/not helpful response, optional written comments, the passage or answer connected to that feedback, timestamps, and technical information needed to understand and improve the service.

7. How information is used

Information may be used to operate the site, show requested content, maintain security, diagnose errors, improve performance, understand usage in a privacy-conscious way, and improve future features.

Read in Context does not sell personal information.

8. Sharing information

Read in Context may rely on service providers such as hosting providers, deployment platforms, analytics providers, AI providers, security tools, and feedback tools. These services may process information only as needed to provide their services.

Information may also be disclosed if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to respond to valid legal requests.

9. Data retention

Read in Context may retain passage requests, AI interaction records, feedback, analytics, logs, and technical data for as long as reasonably needed to operate, secure, debug, improve, and document the service, unless a longer period is required or allowed by law.

Hosting providers, analytics providers, AI providers, and other service providers may retain information according to their own policies.

10. Children

Read in Context is not directed to children under 13. Children under 13 should not use the site or submit information without appropriate parent or guardian involvement.

11. Your choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of personal information. You may also be able to object to certain processing or opt out of some analytics depending on the tools used.

Read in Context will respond to applicable privacy requests as required by law. Some information may be retained where needed for security, legal compliance, fraud prevention, debugging, or legitimate business purposes.

12. Changes to this policy

Read in Context may update this Privacy Policy as the product changes. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new last updated date.
