Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 5, 2026

Rosetta Scripture is a free, noncommercial scripture study tool. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Who we are

Rosetta Scripture is a personal project. You can reach us via our contact page.

What we collect and why

Account information

When you create an account, we store your email address. We use it solely to send you sign-in links. We do not use it for marketing.

Reading activity and preferences

If you are signed in, we store your reading lists (the books, chapters, and language pairs you are reading) and display preferences (theme, zoom level, layout settings). This data exists only to provide the service — so your reading lists sync across devices and your settings are remembered.

Contact messages

If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and message. We use this only to respond to you.

Technical data

When you sign in, we store your IP address and browser identifier with your session record. This is used only for security purposes (to detect suspicious activity) and is not used for tracking or profiling.

What we do not collect

• We do not use advertising trackers or analytics services.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.
• We do not collect payment information (the service is free).
• We do not build behavioral profiles or track you across other sites.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

• Mailgun — used to send sign-in emails and contact form replies. Your email address is transmitted to Mailgun for this purpose. See Mailgun's privacy policy.
• Google Translate API — if you use the translation feature, selected words or phrases are sent to Google's translation service. See Google's privacy policy.
• Wiktionary / Free Dictionary API — word definitions are fetched from these public services. Only the word you tap is sent, not your identity.
• Dreamhost — this site is hosted on Dreamhost servers in the United States. See Dreamhost's privacy policy.

Data retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account exists. If you request deletion, we will remove your account and all associated data within 30 days.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict how we process your data
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, use our contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

Cookies and local storage

We use a single session cookie (rs_session) to keep you signed in. This cookie is strictly necessary for the service to function and does not track you for advertising purposes.

We also use your browser's local storage for a small number of UI state values (such as dismissing notices). No personal data is stored in local storage.

Children's privacy

Rosetta Scripture is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
