Em 2006, a Life.Church começou a explorar maneiras pelas quais poderíamos ajudar as pessoas a aproveitar as tecnologias emergentes para experimentar a Bíblia de maneiras que levariam a mudanças na vida. Isso levou-nos a criar a App da Bíblia YouVersion, uma das primeiras 200 aplicações gratuitas na App Store da Apple quando foi lançada em 2008.

Desde então, a família das Apps da YouVersion tem crescido, mas uma coisa mantém-se igual: cada produto e recurso que disponibilizamos é feito com muito carinho e intencionalidade. As nossas apps não são apenas leitores eletrónicos da Bíblia—são criadas para ajudá-lo a cultivar um relacionamento mais profundo com Deus todos os dias e para fazê-lo num espaço seguro com pessoas em quem confia.

Escolhe ao que acede. Escolhe o que partilha e com quem quer partilhar. Os seus dados são seus. A YouVersion e a Life.Church não vendem a sua informação e nunca partilharemos a mesma com outros sem o seu consentimento.

E ainda, todos os produtos da YouVersion são completamente gratuitos sem anúncios ou compras. São gratuitos para utilizadores individuais e gratuitos para os nossos parceiros de editoras de Bíblias e de conteúdo. Fazemos isto porque nunca queremos que o dinheiro seja um obstáculo para que as pessoas experimentem o poder da Palavra de Deus.

Como é que sustentamos isto? Como uma missão digital da Life.Church, a YouVersion é sustentada pelo orçamento geral da Life.Church e através de contribuições da nossa Comunidade global que quer participar na nossa missão de ajudar as pessoas a usarem a tecnologia para se aproximarem de Deus todos os dias através das Escrituras e experimentarem uma transformação de vida.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully because it discusses how we will collect, use, share, and process your personal information.

The information we collect depends on the services and functionality you request. You may decline to submit personal information to us; however, that may prohibit us from having the ability to provide you with certain services or functionality. The personal information we collect and the purpose for which we use that information are described below.

Personal information you provide to us.

You do not need to sign up for an account to use YouVersion. However, by creating a Member account, we can tailor YouVersion to be a more personalized experience. To create a Member account, we require that you provide a first name, last name, and a valid email address or phone number. We will use this information to create your account, authenticate your identity, and authorize your access each time you use YouVersion. After creating your account, you may also choose to provide your gender, age, website, description of your location, a brief biography, a profile picture, and other information such as User Contributions (defined below). All of these, if provided, will be associated with your Member account until you delete your account or make a request that the information be deleted as described below.

Beyond the personal information collected to create an account, you have choices about what additional information you provide to us. We collect personal data from you when you provide, post, or upload it to YouVersion. You do not have to provide this information; however, if you do not, it may limit our ability to personalize YouVersion and your ability to use YouVersion to its fullest extent. Specific YouVersion functionality for which you may provide and we may process your information is discussed below.

Your user contributions.

A YouVersion permite aos utilizadores publicar, distribuir e exibir determinado conteúdo (referimo-nos a isto como "publicado" e o conteúdo como "publicações"). As publicações podem ser feitas em áreas públicas da YouVersion, sites e contas das redes sociais que acede através da YouVersion ou a terceiros com os quais escolha conectar-se noutras plataformas ou serviços. Por exemplo, isso incluiria comentar na publicação de um amigo ou criar e partilhar uma Imagem de Versículo. A YouVersion também permite criar certo conteúdo a ser mantido na sua conta, como uma Nota ou Marcador de um versículo da Bíblia, alguns dos quais também pode publicar para fornecer a outros. Nós chamaremos o conteúdo criado por si, publicado ou não, de "Contribuições de Utilizador."

As suas Contribuições de Utilizador são processadas por nós para facilitar a sua capacidade de criar, usar, armazenar e distribuir a Contribuição de Utilizador que escolher. Iremos associar as suas Contribuições de Utilizador com a sua conta desde que não opte por eliminá-las. Por favor, tenha em mente que se revelar informação pessoal de modo público, seja através de publicações colaborativas, redes sociais, quadros de mensagens ou outros fóruns de publicação online, esta informação pode ser recolhida e usada por outros.

Donations and giving.

If you choose to provide a voluntary donation through YouVersion or a third-party website linked to YouVersion, then and only then will you be prompted and required to provide credit card, bank account, and other financial information necessary to process the transaction. We will collect the designation for your donation, if you provide one, and personal information such as your name, address, country, phone number, and/or email address to ensure that your donation is used for the purpose you request and to provide you with an “Annual Giving Statement” that itemizes your donation(s) for tax purposes or your personal use. We will not store or otherwise process financial information provided to us online for the purposes of donating. As of the date of this Policy, we use Stripe or PayPal to process your online donation payments. For information on how these third parties process your information, please refer to their privacy policies, which may be found here: https://stripe.com/privacy; https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Communications from you to us.

We collect information about you when you send, receive, or engage with messages from us, including when you submit personal information or requests by emailing help@youversion.com or through the website help.youversion.com. We retain and use those communications to process your inquiries, respond to your requests, and improve YouVersion and our services. If you are a Member, we will keep your communications to us in association with your account for as long as your Member account is active.

Ao concordar com a nossa Política de Privacidade, concorda com o uso de cookies e tecnologias similares (por exemplo, web beacons, pixels, etiquetas, e identificador de dispositivos aos quais coletivamente nos referimos como "cookies") que estão descritos nesta política. Se usa a YouVersion sem alterar o seu navegador ou configurações do dispositivo para desativar os cookies, nós assumimos que consente com a receção de todos os cookies fornecidos através da YouVersion.

Cookies and other similar technologies.

É importante ressaltar que NÃO usamos cookies ou tecnologias semelhantes para facilitar anúncios baseados em interesses de bens ou serviços de terceiros.

We use cookies to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off, and across the different applications of YouVersion. Cookies help to facilitate the best possible user experience of YouVersion as they allow us to recognize you and maintain your user preferences from session to session, help us keep your account safe, and generally improve the functionality of the products and services offered through YouVersion. They also help us ensure that Member information is used in association with the correct Member account.

We use cookies to collect details of your use of YouVersion (including traffic data, IP location data, logs, browser type, browser language, the functionality requested, and the timing of your requests), and other communication data and the resources that you access, use, and create on or through YouVersion. We use this information to provide a tailored YouVersion experience for you and to communicate with you more effectively. The information is also collected to determine the aggregate number of unique devices using YouVersion and/or parts of YouVersion, track total usage, analyze usage data, and improve YouVersion functionality for all Users. We may combine this information to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our service.

We generally maintain the data we collect from cookies for 21 days but may save it for a longer period where necessary such as when required by law or for technical reasons. Although most internet browsers accept cookies by default, you can control cookies through your browser settings and similar tools or refuse cookies altogether. If you refuse to accept cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts of YouVersion, you will prohibit us from delivering the full capability of YouVersion, and you may prevent the use of certain features and services that require these technologies.

A YouVersion não pode regular outros sites, conteúdos ou aplicações vinculados ou fornecidos a partir da YouVersion ou de vários outros sites e serviços fornecidos por terceiros, incluindo o fabricante do dispositivo e o provedor de serviços móveis. Esses terceiros podem colocar os seus próprios cookies ou outros arquivos no seu computador, recolher dados ou solicitar as suas informações pessoais. As informações que eles recolhem podem estar associadas às suas informações pessoais ou podem recolher informações, incluindo informações pessoais, sobre as suas atividades online ao longo do tempo e em diferentes sites, aplicações e outros serviços online. Esses terceiros podem usar estas informações para lhe fornecer conteúdo direcionado (comportamental) com base nos seus interesses. Não controlamos as tecnologias de rastreamento destes terceiros ou como elas podem ser usadas. Se tiver alguma dúvida sobre o conteúdo direcionado, entre em contacto diretamente com o provedor responsável.

Attribution providers.

Anunciamos a YouVersion em sites de terceiros, como o Facebook e o Google, e usamos kits de desenvolvimento de software de terceiros ("SDKs") para atribuir um download da YouVersion ao anúncio colocado no site de terceiros. Não vendemos as suas informações pessoais a terceiros, nem permitimos que os nossos fornecedores de serviços SDK vendam as suas informações pessoais a terceiros ou utilizem as suas informações pessoais para solicitar a venda de bens ou serviços de terceiros. Podemos fornecer a esses terceiros informações agregadas e não identificadas sobre anúncios colocados nos seus sites e downloads da YouVersion resultantes desses anúncios.

Device ID, IP address, and network access.

When you access or leave YouVersion websites, we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to next. We also get information about your proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, and/or your ISP or mobile carrier when you use YouVersion. We also receive data from your devices and networks, including your IP address.

We use the IP addresses we collect from our users to process them with public latitude and longitude information related to your Internet Service Provider or mobile service provider in order to determine, and in some instances depict in an aggregate and de-identified manner, the approximate geographic region for each instance of YouVersion use. This latitude and longitude information is stored by us for approximately seven days for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes, but is never associated with any information about you or that would identify you personally.

We also collect and use the wireless (or “WiFi”) permissions of your mobile device to determine if you are connected to a WiFi or cellular network. This information is used to provide an optimized user experience by providing higher resolution media to a user who is on a high-speed WiFi connection rather than a cellular network. WiFi permissions are also used for casting content with Chromecast and similar devices. This information is not stored or shared by YouVersion.

We use data that we collect about you and that you provide as well as the inferences we make from that information as follows:

• To provide, support, and personalize YouVersion and the YouVersion functionality you request;
• To create, maintain, customize, and secure your YouVersion account, if any;
• To process your requests and respond to your inquiries;
• To provide information on other products or services;
• To maintain the safety, security, and integrity of YouVersion and the infrastructure that facilitates use of YouVersion;
• For development and internal analysis;
• To fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it;
• Para executar as nossas obrigações e fazer valer os nossos direitos, incluindo os que estão sob esta a Política de Privacidade e os nossos Termos de Utilização;
• As described in this Privacy Policy;
• In any other way we may describe when you provide the information; and
• For any other purpose with your consent.

Friends.

YouVersion will allow you to communicate and connect with other YouVersion users to share Bible verses, User Contributions, and other content. It is your choice whether to communicate or connect with another member and to share your information or User Contributions.

To facilitate your connections with other YouVersion Members, you will be given the choice of whether to share with us the contact information stored on your device. You do not have to share this information to use YouVersion or to connect with any particular Member. If you decide to share this information with us, it will only be used to try and associate your contacts with other YouVersion Members to create potential YouVersion connections and will only be stored by us for so long as you have a YouVersion Member account. When you grant access to your contacts on your device for the purpose of friend suggestions, notification of when a contact joins, or sending an invite to YouVersion, that information is stored on our servers in a hashed format for the purpose of offering you this functionality.

Features related to your location.

Alguns recursos da YouVersion usam a sua localização exata, se optar por partilhá-la, fornecê-la ou sugerir conteúdo e informação, como ajudar a ingressar num evento ou sugerir conteúdo de organizações próximas. Chamaremos estes de "recursos baseados na localização". Para usar ou aceder aos recursos baseados na localização, ser-lhe-á fornecida a opção de partilhar a sua localização exata connosco e, se optar fazê-lo, usaremos essa informação apenas para fornecer recursos baseados na localização, personalizar a sua experiência com a YouVersion e analisar e desenvolver internamente os nossos produtos e serviços.

Após nos conceder esta permissão, assumiremos que temos o seu consentimento para processar a sua localização desta forma até que revogue ou limite a sua permissão. Pode optar por revogar ou limitar as suas permissões de partilha de localização através das configurações do seu dispositivo.

If you choose not to share your precise location, some location-related features may still allow for limited functionality (for example, you may still manually search for events around you), but other such features may not be accessible to you. You will still be able to access and use non-location dependent features of YouVersion.

We share your specific location only with your consent. If you choose to make certain location-related information viewable to your friends or the public, you give explicit consent for us to share that information with the audience you specify. You may change this permission at any time in your app settings.

YouVersion content.

It is your choice whether to create, access, or store YouVersion information and content. If you do, we will store it in association with your Member account.

We collect the manner in which you use YouVersion and its content, such as your prayer requests, the Bible chapters and Bible plans that you access, and the language in which you choose to utilize that content. We also collect and store the User Contributions you create, such as bookmarks, highlights, and notes. We process this information to allow you to access and use content you create or wish to access through each YouVersion session.

You will have the choice of whether to download certain YouVersion content and User Contributions to your device. You will have the choice of whether to allow YouVersion access to your device’s storage to add and modify this downloaded content. Access to the storage of your device is only used by YouVersion for downloading this requested content to your device and for analyzing such content to make other recommendations to you.

We may use information about your use of YouVersion and the inferences we make (manually and with AI) from that use to provide recommendations to you of other YouVersion content. For example, based upon a Bible Plan you complete, we may suggest additional Bible Plans to you. You may opt out of receiving these recommendations by email, as discussed below.

Communications from us to you.

We communicate with you through push notification, email, SMS/MMS messages, or in-app messages. If we communicate with you by email, you may generally unsubscribe to these messages via the unsubscribe link in the emails providing these messages. You can also tailor your notification settings at any time within the settings menu of the YouVersion App or by visiting bible.com/settings. By providing your phone number you have provided YouVersion with consent to send you text messages. The frequency of these messages may vary, and message and data rates may apply.

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 provide and update YouVersion, communicate with you and process information as discussed in this Policy, and for internal analytics such as 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 or at specific events or locations.

We also use de-identified and aggregate user data to market YouVersion, including communications that promote YouVersion Member accounts 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 affiliation 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 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.

Some features available through YouVersion utilize personal information that may reflect your religious or philosophical beliefs. Before we collect or process this information for such features, we will obtain your explicit consent. In addition to these features, you have control over the content of certain things you create, share, and store through YouVersion, and if you provide us with sensitive information with any content you create, share, and store, we will assume we have your consent to process that information.

We will not sell your sensitive personal information, but we may share it with third-party service providers so they might improve their content or services, enable us to provide certain app features, and those service providers are required to keep your personal information confidential and only use it to improve their services or provide us with their services. We will process the sensitive information we collect and inferences we make about the same in accordance with our Privacy Policy and for the purpose of allowing and facilitating your use of those specific app features, to personalize your user experience, to suggest other content and services, and internally to improve our services. If you choose to provide any sensitive information to us, 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, such as sharing or storing content you create. In any event, YouVersion will only process sensitive data you provide to us for YouVersion’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 YouVersion.

É seu direito retirar o consentimento à nossa recolha e processamento de informação pessoal sensível ao desligar e parar de usar os recursos da YouVersion que utilizem essa informação ou ao contactar-nos por correio para YouVersion, para: Suporte da YouVersion, 4600 E. 2nd St., Edmond, Oklahoma 73034, ou por e-mail para help@youversion.com; no entanto, retirar o seu consentimento pode inibir a nossa capacidade de fornecer certas funcionalidades.

Artificial intelligence.

YouVersion utilizes artificial intelligence technologies (“AI”) to synthesize and process your personal information and other information we collect to enhance your user experience and optimize the services and platforms we provide. This includes things like making features more useful, helping us understand how content and platforms are being used, recommending content for users, and helping us support community efforts and proper use of YouVersion. To accomplish these objectives, AI may process public information, information provided to us by third parties, information you provide to us, information we automatically collect, and the content you create and interactions you have with content we provide. We do not, however, use AI to generate new, AI-created content.

We use AI systems provided by third parties including AI features on Your device, as well as those created and developed by YouVersion. This may include AI processing that occurs on your device through device-level features (such as Apple Intelligence), on YouVersion servers, or through third-party AI providers. Our AI models are initially trained on a set of information from one moment in time and then may be trained with frequent small updates through use and processing of information as described in this Section. Importantly, when AI-processed data is used to train, refine, develop, or improve an AI model, we keep that data internal and do not share or it or the AI model with third parties.

Also, although AI helps us in delivering the best services to you, any decisions that might significantly affect you are reviewed or overseen by people. You can ask us for more information about how our automated processes work and how they might affect you. You may also ask that we limit the type of information we collect and how we process it as described in the “Deleting, Accessing, and Correcting Your Information” section below. If you have questions or concerns regarding our use of AI, you can contact us via email at help@youversion.com or the other information provided in the “Contact Information” Section below.

Não vendemos ou partilhamos os seus dados pessoais com anúncios de terceiros ou redes de anúncios para fins publicitários. Podemos divulgar as suas informações pessoais a terceiros para processar informação conforme descrito acima bem como para permitir a o fornecimento de informações à YouVersion, conforme discutido abaixo.

Disclosure on your behalf.

Podemos divulgar informações pessoais que recolhemos ou fornecidas por si conforme descrito nesta Política de Privacidade para cumprir as nossas obrigações de acordo com os nossos Termos de Utilização, para cumprirem a finalidade com que as fornece, ou para qualquer outro propósito que solicite quando fornece essas informações, bem como para qualquer outra finalidade para a qual tenhamos o seu consentimento.

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.

Processaremos os seus dados pessoais na YouVersion e afiliados para reunir as informações pessoais abordadas nos diferentes aspetos da YouVersion e nos nossos outros produtos e serviços para ajudar a fornecer serviços de uma maneira personalizada e útil para si e para outras pessoas.

Service providers and locations.

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 to support YouVersion (such as cloud hosting, cookie providers, maintenance, analysis, audit, external marketing, payment, fraud detection, and development), as well as to support our operations (such as communicating with you for potential employment purposes). We may combine information we have with information of these service providers to facilitate their support. 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. We may also provide aggregate, de-identified information concerning connections by YouVersion users with third-parties and their events or locations.

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 without your explicit consent. We do, however, provide these third parties with aggregate analytics concerning the use of their content by country using de-identified and anonymized data.

A nossa capacidade de fornecer diferentes versões da Bíblia em diferentes idiomas é resultado de e está sujeito a acordos entre nós e determinadas sociedades e editores da Bíblia, aos quais chamaremos de "Fornecedores de Conteúdos da YouVersion". Os acordos que temos com alguns Fornecedores de Conteúdos da YouVersion apenas nos permitem fornecer aos utilizadores da YouVersion a capacidade de baixar certos textos da Bíblia para uso offline se nós fornecermos o nome do Utilizador, endereço de e-mail ou número de telefone e país aos Fornecedores de Conteúdos da YouVersion para comunicação futura. Se este for o caso de um texto que procura baixar para uso offline, nós iremos (i) apenas partilhar esta informação com o Fornecedor de Conteúdos da YouVersion da versão offline que pedir; (ii) fazê-lo numa base confidencial e apenas de o Fornecedor de Conteúdos da YouVersion concordar em manter a informação que partilhamos sobre si confidencial; e (iii) fornecer-lhe um lembrete adicional para se lembrar destes termos, os quais deve concordar no momento para poder continuar a usar a versão online do texto. Nenhuma outra informação pessoal sua será partilhada com qualquer Fornecedor de Conteúdos da YouVersion e nenhuma informação será partilhada até que garanta aprovação do nosso lembrete, que lhe dará então acesso ao download da versão offline. As suas interações com qualquer Fornecedor de Conteúdos da YouVersion será apenas entre si e o Fornecedor de Conteúdos da YouVersion.

Legal process.

It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process. 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 YouVersion, 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.

How to make your requests.

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

• Eliminação: pode pedir para apagar ou excluir todos ou alguns dos seus dados pessoais. Observe que isso pode limitar a sua capacidade de usar determinadas funcionalidades da YouVersion. Observe que é necessário um endereço de email ou número de telefone para ter uma conta de membro de forma a garantir que podemos autenticar adequadamente os potenciais utilizadores dessa conta.
• Correções/Modificações: Pode editar alguns dos seus dados pessoais através da sua conta ou solicitar-nos alterações, atualizações ou correções de dados em determinados casos, incluindo se estiverem incorretos.
• Opor-se, Limitar ou Restringir, o Uso de Dados: Pode pedir-nos para deixarmos de usar todos ou alguns dos seus dados pessoais ou limitar o uso dos mesmos.
• Direito de Aceder e/ou Solicitar os Seus Dados: Pode pedir-nos uma cópia dos dados pessoais que nos forneceu.

Certas leis podem fornecer o direito de fazer essas e outras solicitações relacionadas com as suas informações pessoais. Se nos forneceu informações pessoais e deseja fazer essa solicitação de acordo com a lei de uma região específica, inclua a frase "Solicitação de Privacidade de [O seu Estado/País]" na linha de assunto da solicitação e envie-a por e-mail para help@youversion.com ou por correio para YouVersion, para: 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 the request. We may seek additional information to verify a requestor’s identity. We may also decline to process requests if we cannot verify the requestor's identity or if we believe the request will jeopardize the privacy of others, violate any law or legal requirement, 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.

Some information you have created, received, or used in YouVersion may not be available in a usable form outside of YouVersion. As a result, when you request a copy of your personal information, we will be able to provide personal information you have provided to us, such as your name, address, phone number and the like; however, we may be unable to provide you with content and User Contributions that utilize YouVersion functionality.

Deleting your account.

You can delete your YouVersion account at any time using the settings function in YouVersion; however, when you delete your account we will delete the information associated with your account such as Notes, Bookmarks and other User Contributions you have created, received, or shared. If you do not want to delete your account or this information, but want to temporarily stop using YouVersion, you may cease using the YouVersion application and we will maintain your account and the information associated with your account until you resume use or delete your account, whichever comes first.

If you choose to delete your account or ask that we modify or delete personal information, we will delete and purge personal information we have stored about you in a way that is electronically irreversible, however, we may 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 delete 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 have made (for example, the fact that you downloaded YouVersion, without identifying you or maintaining personal information associated with that account).

A nossa exclusão da sua informação e conta não vai levar geralmente mais do que catorze dias desde a sua solicitação; no entanto, informação de cache pode levar até trinta dias para ser eliminada. Por favor note que não temos controlo da informação que partilhou com outros através da YouVersion depois de fechar a sua conta ou de solicitar a exclusão de informação ou de tentar eliminar a sua conta por si próprio. A sua informação e conteúdos que tenha partilhado podem continuar a ser visualizados nos serviços dos outros (por exemplo, resultados de pesquisa) até que atualizem a sua cache.

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 digital consent.

We are committed to complying with applicable child data protection laws in every country where YouVersion is available. The minimum age at which a person may lawfully consent to the collection or processing of their personal data (“Age of Digital Consent”) varies by jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from any person we actually know is under the applicable Age of Digital Consent without the consent of that person’s parent or legal guardian.

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. Should you allow your minor to use your account, you are 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 profile. We do not require that you disclose any personally-identifiable information about your minor child to us to create a profile. When setting up a profile for your minor, 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’s actual first or last name.

Where you associate your minor’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 to use YouVersion, we assume you consent to such use and we ask that you discuss the risks of sharing personal information on the Internet with your minor 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 collected any information from or about a minor under the applicable Age of Digital Consent without proper consent, please contact us at help@youversion.com.

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 internal processes; to manage corporate transactions; to generally understand and improve our internal processes and user relationships; provide, operate, optimize, and maintain YouVersion; compile anonymized statistics about the operation and use of YouVersion to carry out research, development, and analyze usage and provide, maintain, and improve the content and functionality of YouVersion; 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.

Nos casos em que dependemos do seu consentimento para processar dados pessoais, tem o direito de retirar ou recusar o seu consentimento a qualquer momento e, quando dependemos de interesses legítimos, tem o direito de se opor.
