Privacy Policy
Summary
Shavat is a Bible reading app. You can read without an account. If you create one, we keep only what is needed to save your reading: your email, your password (hashed), and the progress, bookmarks, highlights and settings you create. We do not show ads, use analytics or tracking, or sell or share your data.
What we collect
Without an account: nothing is stored on our servers. Your device keeps your reading preferences (such as theme, text size and translation) in local storage and a cookie.
With an account:
- Email address, used to sign in and to send password reset emails
- Password, stored only as a one way hash; we never see it
- Reading progress, reading history and reading seasons
- Bookmarks and highlights
- Settings such as translation and timezone
A session cookie keeps you signed in. It is used only for that and expires after seven days.
How we use it
Only to run Shavat: to sign you in, save and show your reading, and reset your password when you ask. Nothing is used for advertising or profiling.
Services that process data
- Vercel hosts the app and handles web requests.
- Neon hosts the database that stores account data.
- Google Fonts serves the app's fonts, so Google receives your IP address when fonts load.
- Google (Gmail) delivers password reset emails.
These providers process data only to deliver their service to Shavat.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your data is kept while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete Account. This immediately and permanently removes your account and everything linked to it.
Children
Shavat is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above will change with it.
