Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 3/1/2026
1. Understanding Our Purpose
Welcome to Scripture Refuge. Our primary mission is to provide a quiet place to find peace, grounded in God’s Word. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to read Scripture or access our devotionals. However, to maintain the site and provide relevant content, our systems may collect basic, non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, device type, and general usage data through standard web analytics.
3. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
Scripture Refuge uses "cookies" (small text files placed on your device) and local browser storage to help our website function properly and to analyze site traffic. Crucially, local storage allows us to securely remember your highly personal preferences—such as your saved verses, your personal journal notes, your reading plan progress, and the last Bible chapter you read—directly on your own device, without ever sending that data to a server or requiring an account.
4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
To help support the ongoing maintenance of Scripture Refuge, we may use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
5. How to Opt-Out of Personalized Ads
You have control over how your data is used for advertising. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
