Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 November 2026
Bible Verdict collects as little as it can. There is no advertising, no tracking and no selling of data. This page explains what is processed, why, and your rights.
1. Who is responsible
The controller of your personal data is the operator of Bible Verdict, a sole trader registered in Lithuania, whose details are in the Terms. Contact for any privacy question: [email protected].
2. The statements you write may reveal your beliefs
A statement about God or the Bible, linked to your account, can reveal your religious or philosophical beliefs, which the law treats as a special category of data. Bible Verdict therefore asks for your explicit consent before you check your first statement (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time by deleting your history or your account; checking statements is not possible without it.
Please do not put names or other personal details about yourself or anyone else in a statement.
3. What is processed and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| The statements you check | To find the related verses and prepare the verdict; to save them in your history if you subscribe | Your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) and the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| E-mail address | Sign-in with a one-time code; messages about your account and subscription | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Notes, folders, kept verses | To keep your study space | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)), with your consent for anything that reveals beliefs |
| Subscription status (from Paddle) | To turn subscriber features on or off | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| IP address, browser type, security check | To keep the service safe, stop abuse and limit free use | Legitimate interest in security (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Messages you send | To answer you | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
Card and billing details are handled by Paddle, not by Bible Verdict. Paddle is an independent controller for payment data; see the Paddle Privacy Notice.
No decision with legal or similarly significant effects is made about you by automated means. The verdict is about the statement, not about you.
4. Who receives data
Only service providers that are needed to run Bible Verdict, each bound by a data processing agreement:
| Provider | Role | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic, PBC (USA) | AI model that weighs the verses and writes the summary | The statement text. API data is not used to train models and is deleted within 30 days. |
| OpenAI, L.L.C. (USA) | Finds verses close in meaning to the statement | The statement text. API data is not used to train models; abuse-monitoring logs are kept for up to 30 days. |
| Cloudflare, Inc. (USA, servers worldwide) | Hosting, database, network security, bot check (Turnstile) | All data stored by the service; IP address |
| Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc., USA) | Sends the sign-in e-mails | E-mail address, the one-time code |
| Paddle.com Market Limited (UK) | Merchant of record for payments | Your purchase and billing details (Paddle collects these itself) |
Transfers outside the EU are protected by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and, where the provider is certified, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
Statements that have not been answered before are added to the shared library without any link to you (see the Terms).
5. Cookies and local storage
Bible Verdict uses only what it needs to work. There are no analytics or advertising cookies, so there is no cookie banner.
| Name | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| bv_s | Keeps you signed in | 60 days |
| bv_a | Counts the free full answers in this browser | 12 months |
| Cloudflare security cookies | Bot and abuse protection | Up to 30 minutes / one session |
| Local storage | Your chosen translation and that you gave consent | Until you clear it |
6. How long data is kept
- Account, history, notes and folders: while your account exists; deleted within 30 days after you delete the account.
- Unused one-time codes: 15 minutes. Security logs: up to 30 days.
- Records of subscriptions and payments: as long as tax and accounting law requires (in Lithuania, up to 10 years).
7. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to receive your data in a portable format. Most of this you can do yourself under My studies: Download my data and Delete account. You can withdraw consent at any time; this does not affect processing before it.
Write to [email protected]; you will get an answer within one month. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, in Lithuania the State Data Protection Inspectorate (Valstybinė duomenų apsaugos inspekcija, L. Sapiegos g. 17, LT-10312 Vilnius, vdai.lrv.lt), or to the authority where you live.
8. Age
Bible Verdict is for people aged 18 and over. It does not knowingly collect data from children.
9. Security
Connections are encrypted (HTTPS). Sign-in codes are stored only as a hash, expire after 15 minutes and allow five attempts. Session cookies cannot be read by scripts on the page.
10. Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters to you, you will be told on the site or by e-mail before the change applies.
