Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Bible Gallery ("Bible Gallery," "we," "our" or "us") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with your use of our website (including www.bible.gallery), mobile applications, and services (collectively, the "Services").

Information We Collect - Information You Provide

Account Registration - When you register for an account, we may ask for your contact information, including your email address. We use this information to provide and manage your account.

User Content - Our Services allow you to save artworks to collections and interact with content. By using these features, you agree that your activity may be used to improve the Services.

Communications - If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. We may also receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.

Information We Collect - When You Use Our Services

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies - Like most website operators, Bible Gallery collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Bible Gallery also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Bible Gallery does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information other than as described below.

Usage of Our Services - When you use our Services, we may collect information about your engagement with and utilization of our Services, such as navigation patterns and system-level metrics. We use this data to operate the Services, maintain and improve their performance, develop new features, and protect the security and safety of our Services and our users.

Information We Receive from Third Parties - If you choose to sign in using a third-party service (such as Sign in with Apple), we will receive information about that account, such as your authentication token, to authorize your sign-in. If you wish to limit the information available to us, you should visit the privacy settings of your third-party accounts to learn about your options.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

Provide, operate, and maintain our Services;
Improve, personalize, and expand our Services;
Understand and analyze how you use our Services;
Develop new products, services, features, and functionality;
Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Services, and for marketing and promotional purposes such as our newsletter;
For compliance purposes, including enforcing our Terms of Use, or other legal rights, or as may be required by applicable laws and regulations or requested by any judicial process or governmental agency.

How We Share Information

We may share the information we collect in various ways, including the following:

Vendors and Service Providers - We may share information with third-party vendors and service providers that provide services on our behalf, such as hosting, email delivery, and analytics.
Aggregate Information - Where legally permissible, we may use and share information about users in aggregated or de-identified form that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Analytics - We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect non-identifying information. Google provides some additional privacy options regarding its Analytics cookies at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Business Transfers - Information may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to any potential acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any proposed merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.
As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures - We may also share information to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; (ii) enforce this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations hereof; (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; (iv) respond to your requests; or (v) protect our rights, property or safety, our users and the public.
With Your Consent - We may share information with your consent.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you; (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights; or (iii) where we have your consent to do so. We have a legitimate interest in operating our Services and communicating with you as necessary to provide these Services, for example when responding to your queries, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.

Third-Party Services

You may access other third-party services through the Services, for example by clicking on links to those third-party services from within the Services. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of these third-party services, and we encourage you to carefully review their privacy policies.

Security

Bible Gallery is committed to protecting your information. To do so, we employ a variety of security technologies and measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. However, please bear in mind that the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Data Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Access

If you are a registered user, you may access certain information associated with your account by logging into our Services or emailing hello@bible.gallery. If you terminate your account, any public activity on your account prior to deletion may remain stored on our servers and may remain accessible to the public.

Your Data Protection Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the following data protection rights:

If you wish to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information, you can do so at any time by emailing hello@bible.gallery.
In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by emailing hello@bible.gallery.
You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the "unsubscribe" or "opt-out" link in the marketing emails we send you. To opt-out of other forms of marketing, please contact us by emailing hello@bible.gallery.
Similarly, if we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Your Choices

You can use some of the features of the Services without registering, thereby limiting the type of information that we collect. You may unsubscribe from receiving certain promotional emails from us. If you wish to do so, simply follow the instructions found at the end of the email. Many browsers have an option for disabling cookies, which may prevent your browser from accepting new cookies or enable selective use of cookies. Please note that, if you choose not to accept cookies, some features and the personalization of our Services may no longer work for you.

Children's Privacy

Bible Gallery does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13, and children under 13 are prohibited from using our Services. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, you can alert us at hello@bible.gallery.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be modified from time to time, so please review it frequently. Changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website. If we materially change the ways in which we use or share personal information previously collected from you through our Services, we will notify you through our Services, by email, or other communication.

International Data Transfers

Bible Gallery is a global service. We may transfer personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to email us at hello@bible.gallery.
