Thank you for visiting Bible Good (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit https://www.biblegood.com and any related services (collectively, the “Services”).

Who we are

Scope

This policy applies to personal information we process when you use the Services, interact with us (e.g., by email or social media), or otherwise communicate with us. It does not apply to third‑party websites, apps, or services that we do not control.

Information we collect

1) Information you provide to us

  • Account and profile data (if applicable): name, username, email, password.
  • Newsletter subscriptions: email address and marketing preferences.
  • Comments and ratings: display name, email address, comment content, star ratings, timestamps, IP for spam prevention.
  • Contact forms: name, email, message content, and any information you choose to include.
  • Contests/promotions (if used): entry information (e.g., name, email, mailing address) subject to applicable rules.

2) Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, we may automatically collect:

  • Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, referring/exit pages, search terms, time spent, and similar.
  • Device & technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, language, and approximate location derived from IP.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: pixels, web beacons, SDKs that help us remember preferences, understand engagement, measure analytics, and [serve ads where enabled]. See Cookies & Tracking below.

3) Information from third parties

  • Analytics providers [e.g., Google Analytics], advertising partners [e.g., Google AdSense/Programmatic networks], anti‑spam services [e.g., Akismet/Recaptcha], and affiliate networks (to attribute qualifying purchases).
  • Social platforms if you interact with our content or log in via social sign‑in (subject to your settings with those platforms).

We collect only the information we need for the purposes described below and endeavor to minimize data where feasible.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • Provide, operate, secure, and maintain the Site and Services.
  • Publish and moderate user comments and ratings; detect and prevent spam or abuse.
  • Send you newsletters or updates you opt into; process your requests or inquiries.
  • Understand audience interests and improve content, recipes, and user experience.
  • Show ads and measure ad performance; track affiliate links for commission attribution.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Legal bases for processing (UK/EU/EEA)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, our processing is based on: consent (e.g., marketing cookies, newsletters), contract(providing requested Services), legitimate interests (e.g., site security, basic analytics), and legal obligations.

Cookies & tracking technologies

We use first‑party and third‑party cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Essential operations (security, load balancing, preferences).
  • Analytics (aggregate statistics on traffic and usage). [e.g., Google Analytics]
  • Advertising [if enabled] (to deliver and measure ads, limit frequency, and personalize content where you provide consent).

If you disable cookies, some features may not function properly.

Analytics, advertising, and affiliates

  • Analytics: We may use analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) that set cookies or use similar tech to help us understand how the Site is used. These services process truncated/aggregated data and provide reports to us.
  • Advertising: If we display ads, our partners may use cookies or similar tech to deliver, measure, and improve ads. Depending on your region, we will request consent and/or provide opt‑out choices for personalized/interest‑based advertising.
  • Affiliate links: Some posts may include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Disclosures of personal information

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers (hosting, security, email delivery, analytics, advertising, content moderation) bound by contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations.
  • Affiliates/partners (for attribution and reporting) where necessary.
  • Legal authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers in connection with a merger, sale of assets, financing, or acquisition; your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information for money. [If you share data for targeted advertising or allow cross‑context behavioral advertising, disclose that here and provide an opt‑out mechanism.]

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type. For example, comment records may be kept for the life of the post to preserve discussion history; analytics data may be retained in aggregate for trend analysis.

International data transfers

If you access the Services from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries that may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers from the UK/EU/EEA.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information (e.g., HTTPS/TLS, access controls, backups). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
