Privacy Policy

Who we are

BookofPsalms.org is an independently operated, privately owned website serving readers worldwide. It is not affiliated with any church, denomination, ministry, religious organization, charity, or nonprofit organization. For privacy questions or rights requests, contact the site operator at info@bookofpsalms.org.

Information we process

You can read the site without an account. If you contact us, we process the name, email address, subject, and message you provide so we can respond. If you subscribe, we process your email and optional name to send the newsletter you requested. Favorites, recently viewed Psalms, theme choice, and consent choices are stored locally in your browser.

Purposes and lawful bases

• Responding to contact messages is based on taking steps at your request and our legitimate interest in operating the service.
• Sending the newsletter is based on your request and subscription. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Strictly necessary storage supports requested site features, security, and remembering your privacy choice.
• Optional preferences, analytics, and advertising technologies are activated only after you select the relevant consent category. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Advertising, analytics, and third parties

The site may use Google AdSense and affiliate services. Advertising scripts are blocked until advertising consent is granted. Affiliate click measurement is blocked until analytics consent is granted. Once enabled, Google and other providers may process device information, identifiers, approximate location, IP address, browsing activity, and advertising interactions under their own policies. We do not sell information directly. See our Cookie Policy for the technologies we currently use.

Retention and security

Contact and newsletter information is retained only while needed for the stated purpose or until you request deletion, subject to legal obligations and operational backups. We use HTTPS, access controls, and reasonable safeguards. No online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to processing, and withdraw consent. Email info@bookofpsalms.org with your request. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also complain to your local data-protection supervisory authority.

International transfers and profiling

Some service providers may process information outside the EU/EEA. Where required, appropriate transfer safeguards are used by the relevant provider. We do not make decisions about you solely by automated means. Advertising providers may use information for measurement or personalization when you permit it.

Voluntary contributions and PayPal

BookofPsalms.org accepts voluntary financial contributions. Contributions are processed through PayPal. PayPal may collect information required to process the transaction, such as your name, email, payment method, and transaction details. BookofPsalms.org does not directly collect or store complete PayPal login credentials or payment-card information. All payment processing is handled securely by PayPal. BookofPsalms.org is privately owned and is not a church, ministry, religious organization, charity, or nonprofit. Contributions are voluntary and are not tax-deductible.
