Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

My Bible Journey is designed to help you build and maintain a personal Bible-reading journey. This Privacy Policy explains what information the service processes, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.

Privacy by purpose. We aim to collect and use only the information reasonably needed to provide, secure, improve, and support My Bible Journey.

1. Who operates My Bible Journey

My Bible Journey is a product of NXTSTORY LABS, under NxtStory Studios. In this policy, “My Bible Journey,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the service and its operator.

2. Information we process

Depending on how you use the service, we may process the following categories of information:

Account information, such as your name, email address, account status, and the authentication method associated with your account.
Reading-plan information, including your plan settings, schedule, passages, reading dates, completion status, and progress.
Reflections and notes that you choose to save in connection with your reading journey.
Shared-reading information when you explicitly create a public share. The current sharing feature is designed to publish a limited reading-progress snapshot rather than your private account details or reflections.
Group Bible Journey information when you create or join a private group, including group membership, completion of shared Group Journey sessions, discussions, comments, reactions, and resource links that you deliberately submit to the group.
Security and operational information reasonably necessary to authenticate users, maintain the service, investigate errors, prevent abuse, and administer the application.
Browser preferences, such as your selected Bible translation, text-to-speech voice, and cookie choices. Some of these preferences are stored locally in your browser rather than in your My Bible Journey account.

3. How we use information

We use information for purposes that include:

creating and authenticating your account;
generating and maintaining your Bible-reading schedule;
saving reading progress, reflections, and settings;
providing features you request, including Scripture retrieval, explicitly initiated sharing, and private Group Bible Journey collaboration;
protecting accounts and the service from misuse or unauthorized access;
diagnosing technical problems and maintaining service reliability; and
responding to support, privacy, feedback, or account-related requests.

4. Authentication providers

If you choose to sign in using an external provider such as Google or Facebook, that provider processes information under its own terms and privacy practices. My Bible Journey receives the account information made available through the authentication flow that is needed to identify or create your account. We do not receive your external-provider password.

5. Scripture and other third-party services

Some features rely on third-party services. For example, Scripture content may be retrieved through a Bible API, and authentication may be handled by an external identity provider. When your browser or our application communicates with those services, technical information necessary to complete the request may be processed by the relevant provider under its own privacy terms.

6. Cookies and browser storage

My Bible Journey uses strictly necessary technologies for core functions such as authentication, security, and session handling. These are required for the service to work correctly. Browser storage may also be used to remember settings such as Scripture preferences and your cookie choices.

Optional analytics or marketing technologies, if introduced in the future, should not be activated before the required choice has been made. You can review the current categories and change your preferences from Cookie Policy & Settings.

7. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary to operate the service, use service providers, comply with applicable legal obligations, protect the service or its users, or carry out an action you specifically request.

Your private reflections are not made visible merely because they are stored in the app. A public reading share is created only when you intentionally use a public sharing feature.

If you join a Group Bible Journey, other active members of that group may see your account display name, your completion progress for shared Group Journey sessions, and the discussions, comments, reactions, or resource links you intentionally add to that group. Your personal reading plan, personal completion history, and private reading-note text are not automatically shared with the group.

8. Data retention

Account and reading-journey information may be retained while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward when necessary for security, legal, backup, dispute-resolution, or service-integrity purposes. Different categories of technical records may have different retention periods.

9. Your choices and privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights relating to access, correction, objection, restriction, portability, deletion, or withdrawal of consent where consent is the applicable basis for processing. Requests are subject to identity verification and any lawful exceptions.

You may also change optional cookie preferences at any time using the control.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the service. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so you should also protect your account credentials and use the same external sign-in method associated with your account.

11. Children

My Bible Journey is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental or guardian authorization is legally required. If the service is later offered specifically to children or families, the relevant consent and parental-control requirements should be implemented before that use is enabled.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service changes. Material updates should be identified by changing the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, providing additional notice in the application.

13. Contact

Privacy and account-data requests should be directed to the official NXTSTORY LABS support or privacy contact published for My Bible Journey. Before public production launch, add the final support/privacy email address here.
