Дараах бодлогод дурдсанчлан, Нууцлалын бодлого ба ашиглалтын нөхцлийн англи хэл дээрх хувилбар нь YouVersion-тай харилцах харилцааг тань зохицуулах болно. Англи хувилбараар зохицуулагдах хэдий ч та Google Translate гэх мэт автомат орчуулгын хэрэгслийг ашиглан баримт бичгийг өөрийнхөө хэл дээр харах боломжтой. Орчуулгын засваруудыг энэ хуудсанд байрлуулах болно.


Чухал: Үүнийг эхлээд уншина уу

Бидний амьдрал гэр бүл, ажил, нийгмийн үүрэг хариуцлага гэх мэт зүйлсээр дүүрэн байдаг. Бидний ихэнх нь ухаалаг гар утас болон бусад дижитал төхөөрөмжүүд дээр тулгуурлан өдөр тутмын үүрэг хариуцлага, холбоо харилцаагаа хялбар зохицуулдаг.

Тэртээ 2006 онд эрч хүчтэй, итгэл үнэмшлийн идэвхтэй хамт олон болох Life.Church нь хүмүүст хурдацтай хөгжиж буй технологийн давуу талыг ашиглан амьдрал өөрчлөлт рүү дагуулдаг Библийг судлахад туслах арга замуудыг судалж эхэлсэн. Энэ нь 2008 онд гарах үедээ Apple-ийн App Store дахь анхны 200 үнэгүй аппуудын нэг болсон YouVersion Bible App-ийг бий болгоход хүргэсэн юм.

Олон хүн YouVersion-ийг ашиглаж эхэлснийг хараад бид Бурхантай харилцах харилцаагаа аюулгүй, найдвартай байдлаар хөгжүүлэх ижил зорилго бүхий хамт олны дунд итгэлээ бататгахад нь хүмүүст туслахын үнэ цэнийг ойлгосон.

YouVersion бол гар утсан дээрээ зөвхөн Библи унших боломж олгодог электрон уншигч байхаас хол илүү зүйл юм. Бид хангаж буй аливаа бүтээгдэхүүн, үйлчилгээгээ маш анхааралтай, нягт нямбайгаар бүтээдэг бөгөөд таныг Бурхантай илүү гүнзгий харилцаатай байх, таны сонголтын дагуух итгэл хүлээсэн хэсэг бүлэг хүмүүс бүхий аюулгүй орчинд итгэл үнэмшлийн талаарх бүхий л асуултын хариултаа олоход тань туслах зорилгоор функц тус бүрийг зохиодог. Тиймээс та юу ашиглахаа сонгоорой. Та хэнтэй, юу хуваалцахаа сонго. Таны мэдээлэл бол таных. YouVersion нь таны мэдээллийг зарахгүй, бид үүнийг таны зөвшөөрөлгүйгээр бусадтай хуваалцахгүй.

Танд санал болгож буй YouVersion-ны бүх зүйлийг бид хариу нэхэлгүй, зар сурталчилгаагүйгээр ямар ч үнэ төлбөргүй хүргэдэг. Хувь хэрэглэгчдэд үнэгүй, манай Библи болон контентын түншүүдэд ч мөн адил үнэгүй. Бид үүнийг хэрхэн хийдэг вэ? Life.Church-ийн дижитал үйлчлэлийнхээ хувиар YouVersion нь Life.Church-ийн ерөнхий төсвөөс ихээхэн хэмжээний санхүүжилт авдаг бөгөөд технологийг ашиглан Библи судалж, улмаар амьдралаа өөрчлөхийг хүссэн хүмүүст туслах хүсэлтэй, үйлчлэлд маань оролцохыг хүссэн хувь хүмүүсийн оруулсан хувь нэмрээр мөн дэмжигддэг.

Бид таны хувийн мэдээллийг хэрхэн цуглуулах, ашиглах, хуваалцах, боловсруулах талаар дурдсан тул энэхүү Нууцлалын бодлогыг анхааралтай уншина уу.

Тодорхойлолт

Энэ бичиг баримтыг уншихад хялбар болгохын тулд бид бүхэлд нь зарим нэг товчлолыг ашигласаар байх болно. Жишээ нь "YouVersion" гэж хэлэхэд бид дараах зүйлсийн талаар ярьж байна:

  • YouVersion гар утасны аппууд, тухайлбал
    • Библи Апп
    • Хүүхдийн Библи Апп
    • Bible Lens
  • YouVersion вэбсайтууд гэвэл,
  • Өөр платформууд дээрх өөр YouVersion аппууд гэвэл,
    • Видео цацах аппликейшнүүд
    • Дуут туслахууд

YouVersion-ийн бүтээгдэхүүнүүдийг Life.Church Operations, ХХК эзэмшиж, ажиллуулдаг бөгөөд бид энэ бодлогын хүрээнд "Life.Church" эсвэл "бид" гэж нэрлэх болно. Бид YouVersion-г бүртгэлгүй хэрэглэгчдэд ашиглахыг зөвшөөрдөг бөгөөд эдгээр хэрэглэгчдийг бид "Зочид" гэж нэрлэхээс гадна бүртгэлтэй хэрэглэгчдийг "Гишүүд" гэж нэрлэдэг. Энэ бодлогод хоёуланг нь дурдахад бид "Хэрэглэгчид" эсвэл "та" гэсэн нэр томъёог ашиглана.


Бидний цуглуулдаг мэдээлэл, мөн бид үүнийг хэрхэн цуглуулдаг

Бидний цуглуулдаг мэдээлэл нь таны хүссэн үйлчилгээ, үйл ажиллагаанаас хамаарна. Та бидэнд хувийн мэдээлэл өгөхөөс татгалзаж болно; гэхдээ энэ нь таныг тодорхой хэмжээний YouVersion үйлчилгээ эсвэл функцээр хангахыг хориглох боломжтой. Бидний цуглуулдаг хувийн мэдээлэл, мөн тэдгээрийн бид хэрхэн ашиглахыг дор дурдсан болно.

Таны бидэнд өгсөн хувийн мэдээлэл.

YouVersion-г ашиглахын тулд та Гишүүнчлэлийн бүртгэлд бүртгүүлэх шаардлагагүй. Гэсэн хэдий ч Гишүүнчлэл нь танд илүү хувийн туршлага болох үүднээс YouVersion-ыг тохируулах боломжийг олгодог. YouVersion гишүүнчлэл үүсгэхийн тулд бид таниас нэр, овог, хүчинтэй и-мэйл хаягаа оруулахыг шаарддаг. Бид энэ мэдээллийг таныг өөрийн YouVersion гишүүний тодорхой данстайгаа холбогдоход тань ашиглана. YouVersion гишүүний данс үүсгэснийхээ дараа та өөрийн хүйс, нас, вэбсайт, байршлын тодорхойлолт, товч намтар, профайл зураг болон бусад сонгосон мэдээллийг өгөх сонголтыг та хийж болно. Эдгээр бүх мэдээллийг өгсөн тохиолдолд эдгээр нь таны дансанд л хамаарах болно.

Автоматаар мэдээлэл цуглуулах технологи

Манай Нууцлалын бодлогыг зөвшөөрснөөр та энэхүү бодлогод тодорхойлогдсон күүки болон түүнтэй ижил төстэй технологи (жишээлбэл, вэб чиглүүлэг, пиксел, шошго, төхөөрөмжийн таних тэмдэг мөн тухайн төхөөрөмж "күүки" гэж цуглуулсан мэдээлэл)-ийг ашиглахыг зөвшөөрч байгаа болно. Хэрэв та күүкийг идэвхгүй болгохын тулд хөтөч эсвэл төхөөрөмжийн тохиргоогоо өөрчлөхгүйгээр YouVersion-ийг ашигласан бол YouVersion-ээр дамжуулан өгсөн бүх күүкийг хүлээн авахыг зөвшөөрч байна гэж бид тооцох болно.

Күүки ба бусад ижил төстэй технологиуд.

Бид таныг болон/эсвэл таны төхөөрөмж(үүд)-ийг асаах, унтраах, YouVersion-ийн өөр өөр программуудыг танихын тулд күүкийг ашигладаг. Күүки нь YouVersion-ийн боломжит хэрэглэгчийн туршлагыг сайжруулахад тусалдаг бөгөөд ингэснээр бид таныг таних, хэрэглэгчийн тохиргоог горимоос горим хүртэл хадгалах, аккаунтаа аюулгүй байлгах, YouVersion-ээр дамжуулан санал болгож буй бүтээгдэхүүн, үйлчилгээний ажиллагааг сайжруулах боломжийг олгодог. Эдгээр нь гишүүдийн мэдээллийг зөв гишүүн аккаунттай хамт ашиглахад мөн бидэнд тусалдаг. Хамгийн чухал нь бид гуравдагч этгээдийн бараа, үйлчилгээний ашиг сонирхолд тулгуурласан зар сурталчилгааг дэмжих зорилгоор күүки эсвэл түүнтэй төстэй технологийг

АШИГЛАДАГГҮЙ

болно.

Бид YouVersion-ийг ашиглахтай холбоотой дэлгэрэнгүй мэдээллийг (үүнд хөдөлгөөний талаарх мэдээлэл, IP байршлын мэдээлэл, бүртгэл, хөтчийн төрөл, хөтчийн хэл, хүссэн функц, таны хүсэлтийн цаг хугацаа зэргийг багтаасан) мөн YouVersion дээр эсвэл үүгээр дамжуулан олж авах, ашиглах эсвэл үүсгэх эх сурвалжуудыг цуглуулахын тулд күүкиг ашигладаг. Бид энэхүү мэдээллийг ашиглан танд тохирсон YouVersion туршлагыг бий болгож, тантай илүү үр дүнтэй харилцах зорилгоор ашигладаг. YouVersion болон/эсвэл YouVersion-ийн хэсгүүдийг ашигладаг өвөрмөц төхөөрөмжүүдийн нийлбэр тоог тодорхойлох, нийт хэрэглээг хянах, ашиглалтын өгөгдөлд дүн шинжилгээ хийх, бүх гишүүд, зочдод зориулсан YouVersion ажиллагааг сайжруулах зорилгоор мэдээллийг цуглуулдаг. Бид танд илүү сайн туршлага хуримтлуулах, үйлчилгээнийхээ чанарыг сайжруулахын тулд эдгээр мэдээллийг нэгтгэж болох юм. Ерөнхийдөө бид күүкигээс цуглуулсан мэдээллээ 21 хоногийн турш хадгалдаг боловч шаардлагатай тохиолдолд эсвэл хуулиар тогтоосон шаардлага, техникийн шалтгаанаар шаардлагатай тохиолдолд илүү удаан хугацаанд хадгалж болох юм.

Үйл ажиллагаа.

YouVersion Events allows you to locate nearby churches, etc. that have designated their services as an Event, enabling you to follow along with the provided content, take notes, and save your own copy of content for future reference. Associating these Events with your location requires access to and use of your GPS location.

GPS location information is stored by us for approximately seven days for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes, but is never stored in our database in association with any particular YouVersion Member Account. Once your particular session of use of the Events feature ends, we will cease to receive information related to your GPS location unless you access the Events feature again. After you first use the Events feature and consent to the use of your GPS location, we will assume we have that consent during subsequent use of the Events feature unless you revoke that consent through the settings of your device or in the Events feature in the Bible app.

If you choose not to share your GPS location, you may still use the Events feature, but you will need to search for an Event manually by name, organization, city, country, or other distinguishing search terms.

You can also tailor your notification settings at any time within the Settings menu of the YouVersion Bible App or by visiting bible.com/notification-settings.

Recommendations

We use the data we have about you and inferences we make from that data to recommend certain content and functionality as well as additional products and services offered through YouVersion. We may combine the information you provide us with information we collect through other Life.Church services and products and the inferences we make from the same for our internal development to improve the overall quality of all services and products provided by Life.Church. We may also make recommendations to you for other Life.Church services and products based on the information you provide and we infer. We may contact you through push notification, email, or in-app messages to discuss these recommendations, how to use YouVersion, and other YouVersion news messages.

Polls and Surveys

Polls and surveys are sometimes conducted by us through YouVersion. You are not obligated to respond to polls or surveys, and you have choices about the information you provide. Because the purpose of these polls and surveys may vary, we will provide details related to the disclosure and use of personal information in relation to any poll or survey prior to you providing any information.

We may use your personal information to investigate, respond to, and resolve legal, security, and technical issues and complaints concerning YouVersion and, as necessary, for security purposes or to investigate possible fraud, violations of law, violations of our Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy, or attempts to harm oneself or others. We may use your information to contact you about account security, legal, and other service-related issues. Please be aware that you cannot opt-out of receiving such messages from us.

Notice

We may use your personal information to provide notice regarding a security incident or data breach, by: (i) sending a message to the email address you provide (as applicable); (ii) posting to a publicly facing page of YouVersion or through an in-app message; (iii) through major statewide media; and/or (iv) telephonic means, including calls and/or text messages, even if sent via automated means including automated dialers. Standard text and data messaging rates may apply from your carrier. Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email, notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting and by in-app messaging when the message is made, and notices we provide through telephonic means will be effective when transmitted or dialed. You consent to receiving electronic communications from Life.Church relating to YouVersion and your use and access of the services provided through YouVersion. It is your responsibility to keep your email address and any other contact information you provide to us current so that we may provide these communications to you.

Analytics and Performance.

We internally analyze the personal data available to us and the use of YouVersion content, as well as the inferences we make from that data, to observe social, economic, and geographic trends as they pertain to YouVersion content. In some cases, we work with trusted third parties to perform this research, under controls that are designed to protect your privacy, as discussed below. We may disclose use of YouVersion content in an aggregated manner with de-identified and anonymized information that does not disclose any particular user or that user’s personally-identifying information. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about overall usage of YouVersion worldwide or in specific geographic regions.

We also use de-identified and aggregate user data to market YouVersion, including communications that promote YouVersion Membership and network growth, such as celebrating the total number of YouVersion installs. When you see stats we share publicly such as global YouVersion engagement, we make sure to analyze and publish the data in an aggregated form, protecting your privacy and keeping your identity and personal information confidential. We use data, including user provided personal information, aggregations of user data, data collected through the use of YouVersion, public feedback, and information inferred from this data to conduct internal research and development in order to provide a better overall YouVersion experience, measure the performance of YouVersion, and increase the use of YouVersion and its features. This is done by making changes to YouVersion that are generally available, as well as sending users messages through YouVersion suggesting YouVersion functionality and content.

Sensitive Data

By downloading and using YouVersion, we do not assume that you are of any particular religious denomination or are expressing to us any particular religious belief; we merely assume that you are interested in the content we provide. We do not require that users provide information about such beliefs to us or provide any other sensitive data such as race, ethnicity, philosophical beliefs, or physical or mental health to use YouVersion or create or maintain a YouVersion Member account. You will have the option with certain YouVersion functionality to create, store, and share thoughts and messages related to YouVersion content, including the option to record and share Prayers. It is your choice whether to provide sensitive information within the User Contributions you create, should it be an option to do so. If you choose to provide any sensitive information, we may use that information with other non-sensitive information you provide to create a more personalized YouVersion experience for you and to perform the services and actions you request through YouVersion, such as sharing or storing content. In any event, Life.Church will only process sensitive data you provide to us for Life.Church’s legitimate activities on your behalf and solely in accordance with the terms of this policy and any additional requests you make about the information. We will also maintain your information subject to appropriate safeguards discussed in this policy and otherwise provided by Life.Church. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us at help@youversion.com.


Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell or share your personal data with any third-party advertisers or ad networks for their advertising purposes. We may disclose your personal information to third parties in order to enable our ability to provide YouVersion, as discussed below.

Disclosure on Your Behalf.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy to fulfill our obligations under our Terms of Use, to accomplish the purpose for which you provide it, for any other purpose you request when you provide the information, or for any other purpose for which we have your consent.

Disclosure by You.

When you share information through YouVersion, that information is viewable by you and by anyone else you choose to share it with. If you give access to your YouVersion account to other applications and services, based on your approval, those services would then have access to your shared information. The use, collection, and protection of your data by such third-party services is subject to those third parties’ policies.

Internal Disclosure.

We will process your personal data internally within Life.Church to help combine the personal information covered across the different aspects of YouVersion and our other products and services to help provide services to you in a manner that is personalized and useful to you and others.

Service Providers.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use solely to support YouVersion (such as cloud hosting, cookie providers, maintenance, analysis, audit, payment, fraud detection, communication, and development). For example, some of the platforms used to send emails and notifications provided through YouVersion are built and managed by third parties, so some of your information is sent securely to those services to provide such functionality. They will have access to your information only as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

YouVersion Content Providers.

We utilize certain third parties to provide certain YouVersion content, such as Bible Plans. We do not share personal information of YouVersion users with these third parties. We do, however, provide these third parties with aggregate analytics concerning the use of their content by country using de-identified and anonymized data.

Our ability to provide different versions of the Bible in different languages is a result of and subject to agreements among us and certain Bible societies and publishers, which we’ll call “YouVersion Bible Providers.” The License Agreements we have with some YouVersion Bible Providers only allow us to provide YouVersion users the ability to download certain Bible texts for offline use if we provide YouVersion Bible Providers with the User’s name, email address, and country for future communication. If this is the case with a text you are seeking to download for offline use, we will (i) only share this information with the YouVersion Bible Provider for the offline version you request; (ii) do so on a confidential basis and only if the YouVersion Bible Provider agrees to keep the information we share about you confidential; and (iii) provide an additional prompt to you as a reminder of these terms, which you must agree to at that time in order to continue with your download. If you do not agree to this additional prompt, you may continue to use the online version of the text. No other personal information of yours will be shared with any YouVersion Bible Providers and no information will be shared until you grant approval to our prompt, which will then give you access to download that offline version. Your interactions with any YouVersion Bible Providers is solely among you and that YouVersion Bible Provider.

It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process. We attempt to notify Users about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague, or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand. We may also disclose your information if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (ii) enforce our agreements with you; (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (iv) protect the security or integrity of YouVersion; or (v) exercise or protect the rights and safety of Life.Church, Users, our personnel, or others. We also reserve the right to confidentially disclose personal information we have about you in connection with a potential or actual merger or acquisition such as the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.


Deleting, Accessing, and Correcting Your Information

How to Make Your Requests.

For personal data that we have about you, you may request the following:

  • Deletion

    : You may ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data. Please note that doing so may limit your ability to use certain functionality of YouVersion. Please note that an email address is required to have a Member account to ensure we can properly authenticate potential users of that account.
  • Correction/Modification

    : You may edit some of your personal data through your account or ask us to change, update, or fix your data in certain cases, including if it is inaccurate.
  • Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data

    : You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data or to limit our use of it.
  • Right to Access and/or Take Your Data

    : You can ask us for a copy of or disclosure concerning your personal data you provided to us.

Certain laws may provide the right to make these and additional requests concerning your personal information. If you have provided us with personal information and wish to make such a request under a specific region’s law, please send your request to help@youversion.com and include the phrase “[Your State/Country] Privacy Request” in the subject line.

To make these or any other requests with respect to your personal information, you may send an email to help@youversion.com or mail your request to Life.Church, attn.: YouVersion Support, 4600 E. 2nd St., Edmond, Oklahoma 73034.

We ask that individuals making requests identify themselves with at least their name, address, and email address and identify the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before we process any requests. We may decline to process requests if we cannot verify the requestor's identity, if we believe the request will jeopardize the privacy of others, if we believe the request would violate any law or legal requirement, if we believe the request would cause the information to be incorrect, or for a similar legitimate purpose.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under applicable law. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Deleting Your Account.

If you choose to close your account or ask that we modify or delete some or all of your personal information, we will retain your personal data if we have a legal right or obligation to maintain the information or to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our rights, or fulfill any other requests from you (for example, to opt-out of further messages or for a copy of your data). Otherwise, if you request that we close your account, we will delete your account and all the information we have that is associated with your account, except for aggregated statistics based on de-identified information and inferences we make from the same. We will also retain our aggregate count of the number of total YouVersion applications downloaded, which would include the fact that you downloaded YouVersion, without maintaining personal information associated with that account.

We have no control of information you have shared with others through YouVersion after you close your account or asked to delete information or attempted to delete your account yourself. Your information and content you have shared may continue to be displayed in the services of others (for example, search engine results) until they refresh their cache.


Security and Protection

We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data. These include using encryption for your data while it is being transmitted between your device or browser and our servers and while it is at rest. Data provided to us through YouVersion is also stored in an ISO 27017-certified infrastructure management system, meaning it has been audited and found in compliance with the requirements of the management system standards ISO 27017, an internationally recognized code of practice for information security controls for cloud services.

However, given the nature of communications and information technology, and that the use of the internet has inherent risks, although we regularly monitor for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, we cannot warrant or guarantee that information provided to us through YouVersion or stored in our systems or otherwise will be absolutely free from unauthorized intrusion by others, nor can we warrant or guarantee that such data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.


Children Under the Age of 16

We do not collect personal information from any person we actually know is under the age of 16 without the consent of the parent or legal guardian of that minor.

A parent or guardian may consent to the use of their YouVersion account by a minor on that parent or guardian’s primary profile or a secondary profile of the parent/guardian’s account in the platform known as the Bible App for Kids. Should you allow your minor child to use your account (whether through your profile or a Bible App for Kids profile), you shall be solely responsible for providing supervision of the minor’s use of YouVersion and assume full responsibility for the interpretation and use of any information or suggestions provided through YouVersion.

To create a secondary profile, you will be required to access your account with your User information and will have sole control over that Bible App for Kids profile. We do not require that you disclose any personally-identifiable information about your minor child to us to create a Bible App for Kids profile. When setting up a profile for your minor child, you are required to provide a “Child’s Name” to identify the account; however, this name can be whatever you choose and you are not required to provide your minor child’s actual first or last name.

Where you associate your minor child’s information with your account, we will assume you consent to our processing of that information in accordance with this policy and other privacy notices and terms we may provide to you from time to time. If you allow your minor child to use YouVersion, we ask that you discuss the risks of sharing personal information on the Internet with your children and require that they refrain from communicating with any third parties or share any personal information with YouVersion or YouVersion users. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at help@youversion.com.


Processing of Data

We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract, and other legitimate interests. Such legitimate interests include protection to you, us, other Members, and third parties; to comply with applicable law; to enable and administer our business; to manage corporate transactions; to generally understand and improve our internal processes and user relationships; and to enable us and other users of YouVersion to connect with you to exchange information, provided that the foregoing adequately protects your rights and freedoms.

Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you may withdraw or decline your consent and where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object. If you have any questions about the lawful bases upon which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us at help@youversion.com.


Third Party Information Collection

Please keep in mind that YouVersion may contain links to other websites or apps. You are responsible for reviewing the privacy statements and policies of those other websites you choose to link to or from YouVersion, so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and store your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements, policies, or content of other websites or apps, including websites you link to or from YouVersion. Websites containing co-branding (referencing our name and a third party’s name) contain content delivered by the third party and not us.

If you choose to link YouVersion with other websites, applications, and services or profiles you have with third party applications, you will provide the personal data stored on those applications to Life.Church. For example, you may start a new YouVersion Membership account by linking your Facebook account to YouVersion, providing personal information you have opted to share through Facebook to Life.Church. You may revoke the link with such accounts and third-party applications by modifying your settings with those applications.


Users from Outside the United States

YouVersion is based out of Oklahoma within the United States and your use of YouVersion and this Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Oklahoma. If you are using YouVersion from outside this state or country, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. We process data both inside and outside of the United States and rely on contractual commitments between us and companies transferring personal data that require the protection and security of such data. The data protection and other laws of the State of Oklahoma, the United States, and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your state or country. By using YouVersion, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it with, as described in this Privacy Policy.


Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices. Life.Church is consistently seeking new and improved ways to offer YouVersion and increase engagement. As we improve YouVersion, this may mean the collection of new data or new ways to use data. Because YouVersion is dynamic, and we continuously seek to offer new features, we may require changes in our collection or processing of information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we use your data, we will update this Privacy Policy.

We will post any changes to our Privacy Policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we process our users’ personal information, we will provide a notice that the Privacy Policy has been updated. The date the Privacy Policy was last modified is identified at the beginning of the Policy. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
