自 2006 年，Life.Church 開始探索如何幫助人們利用新興科技來體驗聖經，從而經歴生命的改變。我們因此創建了 YouVersion 聖經軟件，成為 2008 年 Apple 公司的 App Store 內率先上架的首 200 個免費的應用軟件之一。

從那時起，YouVersion 旗下的應用程式不斷成長，但有一件事保持不變：我們提供的每項產品和功能都注入了大量的心血和考量。 我們的應用程式不僅僅是電子聖經閱讀器——它們的開發是為了幫助你每天與上帝建立更深的關係，並在安全的空間裡和你信任的人一起成長。

你訪問的內容是由你選擇，你選擇你所分享的內容，以及選擇分享資料的對象。你的數據是屬於你的。YouVersion 和 Life.Church 不會在未經你的同意下，把你的資料出售，也不會與其他人分享。

另外，各項 YouVersion 產品都是完全免費的，沒有廣告或購買的需要。個人用戶和提供我們聖經譯本和內容的合作夥伴們都可以免費使用。如此做法是因為我們從來都不想讓金錢阻礙人們體驗上帝的話語的大能。

我們是怎麼做到的呢？YouVersion 是 Life.Church 的數位事工，所需經費大部分由 Life.Church 預算資助，同時我們的全球社群戶也透過慷慨捐獻來參與我們的事工，幫助人們利用科技來閱讀聖經，從而天天親近上帝，進而經歷生命的改變。

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.

YouVersion 允許用戶發表、傳播或展示一些內容（我們稱之為「發佈」，內容則稱為「貼文」）。發佈的貼文會出現在 YouVersion 的公共區域、網站和您透過 YouVersion 所訪問的社交媒體，或傳送到 YouVersion 其他用戶或您個人選擇要連接於其他平台或服務的第三方網站。例如，這包括在朋友貼文上評論，或創建及分享一張經文圖。YouVersion 也允許您在帳戶內創建和保留一些內容如筆記或經文書籤，您也可以發佈和提供內容給其他人。你所創建的內容，無論發佈與否，我們都統稱為「用戶投稿」。

我們處理你的用户投稿，以方便你按自己的選擇建立、使用、儲存和分發用户投稿。只要你選擇不刪除它們，我們就會將其關聯到你的帳戶。請記住，如果你公開地披露個人信息，無論是透過協作發布、社交媒體、留言板還是其他公共線上論壇，這些資料可能會被其他人收集和使用。

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.

同意我們的私隱政策，即表示您同意使用本政策所述的 Cookies 和類似技術（例如，我們統稱為 "cookies”的網絡信標，像素，標籤和裝置識別碼）。如果您使用 YouVersion 而不更改瀏覽器或裝置設定來禁用cookies，我們將假設您同意接收通過 YouVersion 提供的所有 Cookies。

Cookies and other similar technologies.

重要的是，我們不使用 cookies 或類似科技來協助第三方商品或服務作針對用戶興趣的廣告。

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.

YouVersion 不能管理從 YouVersion 和由第三方提供我們的各種網站及服務內所連結或提供的其他網站、內容或應用程式，包括你的流動裝置製造商及你的流動服務供應商。這些第三方可能會在你的電腦上放置他們的 Cookies 或其他檔案，收集數據或向你索取個人資料。他們所收集的資訊可能與你的個人資料有關，或他們可能會收集有關你網上活動時間及造訪其他網站、應用程式和其他網上服務等相關個人資料。這些第三方可能會使用這些資訊，為你提供基於興趣（行為）的目標內容。我們不能控制這些第三方的追蹤技術或他們採用的方式。如果你對目標內容有任何疑問，請直接與負責提供廠商聯絡。

Attribution providers.

我們會在 Facebook 和 Google 等第三方網站為 YouVersion 刊登廣告，並使用第三方軟體開發套件 (SDK) 將 YouVersion 的下載歸因到置放於第三方網站上的廣告。我們不會將您的個人資料出售給第三方，也不允許我們的 SDK 服務提供者將您的個人資訊出售給第三方或使用您的個人資料來招攬第三方商品或服務的銷售。我們可能會將從這些置放於第三方網站的廣告，以及因這些廣告所產生 YouVersion 下載而得的匯集和去識別資料提供給這些第三方。

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;
• 為履行我們的義務，並根據本私隱政策和我們的使用條款 確保我們的權利；
• 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.

如果您選擇分享您的精確位置，YouVersion 某些功能會使用它來提供或建議內容和資訊，例如幫助您簽到活動或建議附近組織的內容。我們將這些稱為「基於位置的功能」。要使用或存取基於位置的功能，您可以選擇與我們分享您的精確位置，我們將僅僅使用該資訊來提供基於位置的功能、個人化您使用 YouVersion 的體驗、內部分析與開發我們的產品和服務。

在您首次授予我們此權限後，我們將假設您同意我們以這種方式處理您的位置，直到您撤銷或限制您的權限。您可以透過裝置的設定，選擇撤銷或限制您的位置共享權限。

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.

您有權撤回同意收集和處理您的敏感個人資料，並關閉及停止使用這些資料之 YouVersion 功能，你也可郵寄到 YouVersion, Attn.: YouVersion Support, 4600 E. 2nd St., Edmond, Oklahoma 73034 來聯繫我們，或發送電子郵件至 help@youversion.com；但是，撤回同意可能會妨礙我們提供某些功能。

人工智能。

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.

我們不會將你的個人數據出售或分享給任何第三方廣告商或廣告網絡，以供其廣告用途。但為了提供 YouVersion，我們可能會將你的個人資訊提供給第三方，如下所述。

Disclosure on your behalf.

我們可能會遵照本私隱政策所述，揭露我們所收集的個人資訊，以履行我們在使用條款規範下的義務，在您以任何理由發出請求、或基於任何目的同意我們收集您資訊的情況下，達成您提供資訊的目的。

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.

我們將在 YouVersion 內處理您的個人資料，以幫助整合 YouVersion 各部門及其他產品和服務內已持有的個人資訊，提供您個人化的服務，造福您和其他人。

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.

我們之所以能提供不同語言的聖經譯本，是因為我們與一些聖經協會和出版社達成協議，我們稱他們為「YouVersion 聖經提供者」。根據我們與有些 YouVersion 聖經提供者的授權協議，我們必須提供 YouVersion 用戶的姓名、電郵地址或電話號碼，以及國家名稱作為日後通訊之用，才能讓用戶下載某些聖經文本供離線使用。如果你是在此情況下，下載文本供離線使用，我們將 (i) 僅與提供你請求下載離線譯本的 YouVersion 聖經提供者分享這些資訊；(ii) 在保密措施之下 ，而且僅在 YouVersion 聖經提供者同意對我們所分享有關你的資訊保密下進行這類分享；(iii) 提供你這些條款的附帶提示，你必須在當時同意這些條款才能繼續下載。如果你不同意這個附帶提示，你仍可以繼續使用線上譯本。在你認可批准我們的附帶提示之前，我們不會分享任何屬於你的個人資訊。在你同意附帶提示之後，你便可以訪問下載該離線譯本。你與任何一個 YouVersion 聖經提供者之間的互動僅限於你與該 YouVersion 聖經提供者。

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:

• 刪除：你可以要求我們清除或刪去你所有或部分的個人資料。請注意：這麼做可能會使你無法使用某些 YouVersion 的功能。請注意你必須擁有電郵地址或電話號碼才能註冊一個會員帳戶，以確保我們能正確地驗證該帳戶的潛在用戶。
• 更正/修改：您可以通過您的帳戶修改部分個人資料，或者在特定情況下（如資料不正確）要求我們變更、更新或修復您的資料。
• 反對、限制或約束資料的使用：您可以要求我們停止或限制使用您所有或部分個人資料。
• 存取及/或獲取您資料的權利：您可以向我們索取您所提供給我們的個人資料副本。

有些特定法律可能會就您的個人資訊，提出這些和附帶請求。如果您已提供個人資訊給我們，並希望根據特定地區的法律提出此類請求，請將您的請求發送至 help@youversion.com，並在主題欄註明 「(您所在的州/國家)」私隱請求」或郵寄至 YouVersion, 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 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).

在你提出請求後，我們一般會在14天內刪除你的信息和帳戶，但是緩存的信息可能需要多達30天才能刪除。請注意，在你關閉帳戶，或請求我們刪除信息，或自行嘗試刪除帳戶之後，你曾經通過 YouVersion 跟他人分享過的信息將不受我們管控。你所分享過的信息和內容可能會繼續顯示在他人的服務裏（例如搜索引擎結果），直到他們重新整理緩存爲止。

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.

針對您同意我們處理的個人資料，您可以撤回或拒絕給予同意，而我們所具有的合法權益，您可以提出異議。如果您對我們收集和使用您個人資料的合法基礎有任何疑問，請與我們聯絡：help@youversion.com。

除非您使用 YouVersion 將其刪除，否則我們通常會保留和處理與您的帳戶相關的資訊和用戶貢獻，並使用它來促進 YouVersion 的功能，直到您的帳戶被刪除。你可以使用設定https://www.bible.com/settings, 透過限制特定的應用程式功能，或透過上述郵寄地址或電郵地址與我們聯繫來管理、更改和刪除資訊和用戶貢獻，只要您擁有 YouVersion 或只直到您將其刪除， 我們將使用和處理此資訊以提供您可能要求的 YouVersion 功能。

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 YouVersion. For example, you may start a new YouVersion Member account by linking your Facebook account to YouVersion, providing personal information you have opted to share through Facebook to YouVersion. When you do so, we are provided with your Facebook or other applicable social media username along with the information you authorized for sharing.
