The Open Translation Bible (OTB) project respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information you may provide. This Privacy Policy explains what data we may collect, how it is used, and your rights regarding that data. By accessing the OTB website, downloading the OTB text, or using the OTB app, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
The OTB project is primarily a free and open distribution of text. As such, we do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to access the OTB text. However, we may collect limited information in the following circumstances:
-
Website analytics: We may collect anonymous usage data (e.g., page visits, download counts, referring websites) to help improve our services.
-
App usage: If you use the OTB app, we may collect anonymised technical data (such as device type, operating system, crash reports, or language preferences) to improve stability and functionality.
-
Voluntary submissions: If you choose to contact us, contribute to the project, or sign up for newsletters, we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you provide voluntarily.
How We Use Information
Any data we collect is used only for the following purposes:
-
To maintain and improve the OTB website and app.
-
To track downloads and usage trends for reporting and development purposes.
-
To respond to enquiries or support requests.
-
To communicate with contributors or community members where applicable.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Sharing of Information
We may share limited information in the following cases:
-
Service providers: We may use trusted third-party services (e.g., hosting, analytics, crash reporting) that process data on our behalf.
-
Legal requirements: We may disclose information where required to comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process.
We do not otherwise share user data with third parties.
Data Retention
We keep collected data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. Voluntary submissions (e.g., emails) are retained only as long as needed to respond.
Minors’ Privacy
The OTB is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If we become aware that such data has been provided, we will take steps to delete it.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect any data we hold from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@openbible.uk.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on the official OTB website or app. Continued use of the OTB after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
