Privacy Policy

The Lord's Voice ("the site", "we", "us") is an independent, free project. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, and how it's used.

Information we collect

We don't require you to create an account or give your name to use the site. What you type into the "What's on your mind?" box is processed in your own browser to match you with a passage — it is not stored on our server or read by us.

• Usage data: like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tool (if enabled) may automatically log standard technical information — your approximate location (country/city level, from your IP address), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent. This is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
• Cookies: we use a small number of cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
• Donations: if you choose to donate via PayPal, PayPal processes your payment details directly — we do not see or store your card or bank details. We may see your name and the amount given, for our own records.

How we use information

• To operate and improve the site
• To understand, in aggregate, which pages and features are useful
• To detect and prevent abuse of the site

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use what you type into the verse finder for any purpose beyond showing you a result in your own browser.

Third parties

Some parts of the site link to or embed services run by others, each with their own privacy practices:

• PayPal — for processing donations
• Amazon Associates — affiliate links on our Support Us page; Amazon may set its own cookies once you click through
• Google Fonts — used to display the site's typefaces
• Google AdSense — we use this to display ads that help fund the site. Google may use cookies and similar technology to serve ads based on your visits here and to other sites, and (depending on your region and consent) may personalise those ads
• If enabled, an analytics tool (such as Google Analytics)

You can control how Google uses this data for ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com, and learn more about Google's own practices at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We encourage you to review those services' own privacy policies.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under UK GDPR or similar laws elsewhere), you may have the right to ask what data we hold about you, request its correction or deletion, or object to certain uses. Since we collect very little personal data by design, there is usually little to nothing tied to you individually — but you're welcome to contact us with any request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the latest version.
