Privacy Policy

Your Data Belongs to You

When you sign in with Google, BibleCosmos saves your Bible reading progress, highlights, bookmarks, and personal notes to a file called BibleCosmos-data.json stored in your own Google Drive account. This file belongs to you.

BibleCosmos reads and writes it on your behalf, but it never passes through our servers — there are no BibleCosmos servers. We have no database, no user accounts, and no ability to see your data.

What Google Permission We Request

BibleCosmos requests one Google permission: drive.file. This is the most restricted Google Drive permission available. It allows BibleCosmos to read and write only the files it created itself — it cannot see, access, or list any other files in your Google Drive.

You can verify this on Google's permission consent screen when you sign in. The consent screen will clearly state what BibleCosmos can and cannot access.

What We Do Not Do

Signing Out or Revoking Access

You can sign out of BibleCosmos at any time using the Sign Out button in the navigation panel. Your data remains safely in your Google Drive even after signing out.

You can also completely revoke BibleCosmos's Google Drive access at any time by visiting your Google Account permissions page at myaccount.google.com/permissions and removing BibleCosmos. Your BibleCosmos-data.json file will remain in your Google Drive until you choose to delete it yourself.

Content

BibleCosmos uses Bible translations that are in the public domain, currently including the King James Version (1769 Cambridge Edition), the American Standard Version (1901), the World English Bible, and Young's Literal Translation. Additional translations may be added over time.

Artwork featured in BibleCosmos is either in the public domain — including engravings by Gustave Doré (1866) and works by other historical artists — or is original artwork created for BibleCosmos. No copyrighted content is used.

Children's Privacy

BibleCosmos does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The app contains no user accounts, no data collection, and no advertising. All Bible content is appropriate for all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes in any material way, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Because BibleCosmos collects no personal data, changes are expected to be minimal and will only reflect additions to features or content.
