A short, plain privacy statement

No account, no name

You can read, listen to, and share everything here without signing up. We never ask for your name or email address in order to use the app, and there is no account to create. The one optional exception is a follow-up note you may choose to leave — there, and only there, you decide whether to add your name and a way to reply.

Nothing about a decision is recorded

There is no conversion counter and no reporting. If you pray, or if you decide not to, that stays between you and God. The app keeps no record of it.

Settings stay on your device

Your language, reading theme, text size and reading speed are saved in your browser's local storage on this device. They are not sent to a server, and clearing your browser data removes them.

Notes are yours alone

The optional private notes area on the “What Comes Next?” page asks for your clear consent first. Notes are stored only in this browser on this device, are never transmitted, and can be deleted with one button. No one else can read them.

A follow-up note you choose to leave

On the “What Comes Next?” page you can leave a short private note for the people who run Good News. It is entirely optional. The note is stored on this app's own servers, is readable only by the app's administrators, and is deleted when you ask. It is never shown inside a presentation, in a shared link, or anywhere public. If you leave a name or contact details, they are used only to reply to you.

No microphone, no recording

Read aloud is performed by your own device's speech synthesis. The app never accesses your microphone and never records audio — not you, and not the person you are reading to.

What our servers hold

The app stores the King James Version verses and chapters it displays, so that Scripture loads reliably and is never generated. It also stores the narration translations that have been produced, so a language is consistent each time it is used. Those records are the public text of the presentations — they contain nothing about any visitor.

When you choose a language for the first time, the presentation's narration is sent to a translation service to produce that cached text. No personal information is included in that request.

The only visitor-written content stored on the server is a follow-up note someone deliberately chooses to leave. Access rules keep it readable only by the app's administrators.

Links that leave the app

Tapping “Open in Bible Gateway” or an attribution link takes you to another website, which has its own privacy practices.
