Important: Please Read this First

2006 年,Life.Church 开始探索如何帮助人们利用新兴科技来体验圣经,从而改变生命。 这促使我们创建了 YouVersion 圣经软件,成为 Apple 公司在 2008 年推出 App Store 时首批上架的 200 个免费应用程序之一。

从那时起,YouVersion 的应用程序系列不断发展,但有一件事保持不变:我们提供的每项产品和功能都经过精心设计。我们的应用程序不仅仅是电子圣经阅读器,更是为了帮助你每天与上帝建立更深的关系,并在安全的空间里与你信赖的人一起成长。

你选择要访问的内容;你选择要分享的内容,以及与谁分享;你的数据属于你;YouVersion 不会出售你的信息,未经你同意,我们也绝不会与任何人分享。

此外,每个 YouVersion 产品都是完全免费的,没有广告或付费内容。个人用户和提供我们圣经译本和内容的合作伙伴们都可以免费使用。我们这样做是因为我们不想让金钱妨碍人们体验上帝的话语的大能。

我们是怎么做到的呢? YouVersion 是 Life.Church 的数码事工,所需经费大部分由Life.Church 预算资助,同时我们的全球社群也通过慷慨捐献来参与我们的事工,帮助人们利用科技来阅读圣经,从而天天亲近上帝,进而经历生命的改变。

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

Definitions

To make this document easier to read, we’re going to use some shorthand throughout. For example, when we say “YouVersion,” we’re talking about:

YouVersion 产品由 YouVersion, Inc. 及其母公司、附属公司和子公司拥有和运营,在本政策中我们将其称为 “YouVersion”或“我们”。我们允许未注册用户(我们将其称为“访客”)以及注册用户(或“会员”)使用 YouVersion。当我们在本政策中提及两者时,我们将使用术语“用户”或“你”。


Information We Collect and How We Collect It

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 a Membership account to use YouVersion. However, Membership allows us to tailor YouVersion to be a more personalized experience. To create a YouVersion Membership account, we require that you provide a first name, last name, and a valid email address. We will use this information to associate you with your specific YouVersion Member account. After you have created a YouVersion Member 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 account until you delete your account or make a request that the information be deleted as described below.

除创建会员账户所收集的个人信息之外,你有权选择向我们提供哪些额外信息。我们也会在你向 YouVersion 提供、发表或上传个人数据时进行收集。你无需提供这类信息,但若你不提供,则可能会限制我们为你个性化 YouVersion 的能力和你最大程度上使用 YouVersion 的能力。你可能提供及我们可能处理你信息的具体 YouVersion 功能如下所述

Your user contributions.

YouVersion 允许用户发表、发布和显示某些内容(这些行为以下简称“发表”,所发表的内容简称“帖子”)。你可在 YouVersion 、网站和你通过 YouVersion 访问的社交媒体的公共领域发表帖子,或者将帖子传送给 YouVersion 的其他用户,或者传送给你选择在 YouVersion 或其他平台或服务上联系的第三方。举例来说,这包括评论朋友的帖子,或创建与分享“经文图”。YouVersion 也允许你创建某些内容并将其保留在你的账户里,例如“笔记”或对某节经文创建的“书签”,你还能将其中一些发表出来以提供给其他人。我们把所有由你创建的内容——无论发表与否——都称为“用户投稿”。

我们会处理你的用户投稿,以方便你按你的选择创建、使用、存储和发布用户投稿。只要你不删除你的用户投稿,我们就会将其关联到你的账户。请记得,如果你通过合作发帖、社交媒体、留言板或其他公共在线论坛,以公开方式披露了个人信息,则此信息可能会被其他人收集和使用。

用户投稿的发表和传递由你自负风险

。如果你选择与其他用户或第三方分享你的用户投稿,我们无法控制他们做出的行为。因此,我们不能也不会保证你分享的用户投稿不会以未经授权的方式被人查看或使用,我们也不会承担与你的用户投稿相关的任何责任。

Donations and giving.

如果你选择通过 YouVersion 或与 YouVersion 相连的第三方网站自愿做奉献,那么你才会被要求提供信用卡、银行账户及其他处理转账所需的付款信息。如果你指定你的奉献要用于某个用途,那么我们会收集这一指定用途,以及你的姓名、地址、国家、电话号码和/或电邮地址等个人信息,以确保这笔奉献会被用于你所指定的用途。我们也会给你提供一份“年度奉献报表”,上面逐条列出你的奉献详情,以供缴税或你个人之用。我们不会存储或者处理在线提供给我们的用于奉献的金融信息。如果你指定向 YouVersion 以外的机构捐款,为了方便你的捐款,我们会与指定机构分享你的姓名、电子邮箱、邮寄地址和电话号码以及日期、金额、付款方式和用于你捐款的号或账号的最后四位数字。自本政策发布之日起,我们使用 Stripe 或 PayPal 来处理你的在线奉献款项。欲知这些第三方如何处理你的信息,请查阅他们的隐私政策,具体网址如下:https://stripe.com/privacy; https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

Communications from you to us.

当你发送、接收或处理来自我们的消息,包括在你发送电邮至 help@youversion.com,或通过 help.youversion.com 网站提交个人信息或请求时,我们会收集有关你的信息。我们将保留这些通信来处理你的询问、回应你的请求,及改进 YouVersion 和我们的服务。如果你是会员,只要你的会员资格有效,我们就会将你给我们的通信与你的账户相关联。


Automatic Data Collection Technologies

同意我们的隐私政策,即表示你同意使用本政策所述的 Cookie 和类似技术(例如网络信标、像素标签和设备标识符等,我们统称为 Cookie)。如果你在不更改浏览器或设备设置以禁用 Cookie 的情况下使用 YouVersion,我们将假定你同意接收通过 YouVersion 提供的所有 Cookie。

Cookies and other similar technologies.

重要的是,我们绝对不会使用 cookie 或类似技术,来便利基于兴趣的第三方商品或服务的广告。

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.

从 YouVersion 内部或我们各网站与服务所链接或提供的其他网站、内容或应用,以及由第三方提供的服务,包括你的设备制造商与你的移动服务提供商,均不受 YouVersion 管制。这些第三方可能会在你的计算机上放置自己的 cookie 或其他文件、收集数据或向你索取个人信息。他们收集的信息可能与你的个人信息相关,或者他们可能会收集你个人长期以来跨越不同网站、应用程序及其他在线服务的在线活动的信息。这些第三方可能会使用这些信息为你提供基于你兴趣(行为)的针对性内容。这些第三方的跟踪技术及其使用方式都不受我们控制。如果你对针对性内容有任何疑问,请直接同负责的提供商联系。

Attribution providers.

我们会在 Facebook、Google 等第三方网站上为 YouVersion 做广告,并使用第三方软件开发包(SDK)将 YouVersion 的下载归因到置于该第三方网站上的广告。我们不会把你的个人信息出售给任何第三方,也不允许我们的 SDK 服务提供商出售你的个人信息给第三方,或使用你的个人信息来招徕第三方商品或服务的销售。我们可能会向这些第三方提供汇总与去识别的信息,其内容是关于放置在他们网站上的广告及这些广告带来的 YouVersion 下载。

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.


How We Use Your Information

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;
  • 为实施本隐私政策及我们的使用条款所规定的我们的义务与权利;
  • 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.

Membership.

We use the personal information you provide to create and maintain your Membership account. We also use this information to authorize and authenticate your access to your account. We store this information and information pertaining to your use of YouVersion (including User Contributions) in connection with your Membership account for so long as you are a Member. For example, your first and last name and email address will be stored and used by us in connection with your account name or auto-generated account ID to authenticate you as the correct user of your account. We will also store your User Contributions in association with your Member account to allow you to access, re-access, post, and otherwise utilize your User Contributions as you choose.

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.

YouVersion 的某些功能会使用你的精确位置(如果你选择分享),来提供或建议内容和信息,例如帮助你签到某项活动,或向你建议附近组织所制作的内容。我们将这些称为“基于位置的功能”。要使用或访问基于位置的功能,我们将让你选择是否与我们分享你的精确位置,而如果你选择这么做,我们只会使用该信息来提供基于位置的功能、个性化你使用 YouVersion 的体验,并且对我们的产品和服务进行内部分析与开发。

在你首次授予我们此权限后,我们将假定你同意我们以这种方式处理你的位置信息,直到你撤销或限制你的授权。你可以通过你设备的设置,选择撤销或限制你的位置分享授权。

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.

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.

是否创建、访问或存储 YouVersion 信息与内容,随你选择。如果你选择这么做,我们会将这些信息与你的会员账户关联存储。我们可能会把你对 YouVersion 的使用和我们从中做出的推断的相关信息,用来向你推荐其他 YouVersion 内容。举例来说,基于你完成的某个读经计划,我们可能会向你建议其他的读经计划。你可以通过电邮选择不接收这类推荐,如下所述

Communications from us to you.

我们会通过推送通知、电子邮件或应用内消息与你联系。如果我们通过电子邮件与你联系,一般你都可以通过这些电子邮件内所附的取消订阅链接来退订。你还可随时在 YouVersion 圣经软件的设置菜单内或访问 bible.com/settings 来调整通知设置。

Recommendations and Other Communications

我们会使用有关你的数据和我们从这些数据做出的推断,来推荐某些内容、功能及通过 YouVersion 提供的附加产品和服务。我们可能会结合你向我们提供的信息与我们通过其他 YouVersion 服务和产品收集到的信息,以及我们为内部开发而从这些信息中做出的推断,来改善 YouVersion 所提供的全部服务和产品的整体质量。我们还可能基于你提供和我们推断的信息,向你推荐其他 YouVersion 服务与产品。我们也可能使用有关你的数据和我们从这些数据做出的推断,来与你联系,以告知你有哪些其他与 YouVersion 互动的机会。我们可能通过推送通知、电子邮件或应用内消息与你联系,以讨论这些推荐和机会、如何使用 YouVersion,以及其他消息。

Polls and Surveys

Polls and surveys are sometimes conducted by us through YouVersion. You are not obligated to respond to polls or surveys, and you have choices about the information you provide. Because the purpose of these polls and surveys may vary, we will provide details related to the disclosure and use of personal information in relation to any poll or survey prior to you providing any information.

Security, Legal and Technical Issues

我们可能会使用你的信息,就账户安全、法律及其他服务相关问题联络你。请注意,你不能选择不接收我们的此类信息。我们也可能使用你的个人信息来调查、回应并解决法律、安全和技术问题及投诉,包括在必要的情况下处理安全问题、潜在的欺诈、违法行为、违反我们的使用条款或本隐私政策的行为,或伤害他人的企图;但是,你也同意我们没有义务防止或监控上述任何情况。

Notice

我们可能使用你的个人信息来就安全事故或数据泄露提供通知:(1)向你提供的电邮地址发送消息(若可用);(2)在 YouVersion 面向公众的页面或通过应用程序内消息发布;(3)通过主要州内媒体;和/或(4)电话途径,包括打电话和/或发短信,即使是借助包括自动拨号器在内的自动途径。你的电信运营商可能会按标准费率收取短信和数据信息费。通过电子邮件发送的通知,在我们发出电邮时即生效;通过页面提供的通知,自发布时起即生效;通过应用内消息发送的通知,在发出时即生效;通过电话途径提供的消息,则自发出或拨号时起即生效。你同意接收来自 YouVersion 及你使用与访问通过 YouVersion 提供的服务相关的电子通讯。你有责任保持你提供的电邮地址和任何其他联系信息为最新,以使我们可以向你提供这些通讯。

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 Membership 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.

我们不会出售你的敏感个人信息,但我们可能需要与第三方服务提供商分享该信息,以提供某些应用程序功能,而那些服务提供商必须将你的个人信息加以保密,并仅将其用于向我们提供他们的服务。我们将根据我们的隐私政策,处理我们收集到的敏感信息以及我们从中做出的推断,目的是允许和方便你使用那些特定的应用程序功能、个性化你的用户体验、建议其他内容和服务,并在内部改善我们的服务。如果你选择向我们提供任何敏感信息,我们可能会将该信息与你提供的其他非敏感信息一起使用,以为你打造更加个性化的 YouVersion 体验,并执行你请求的服务和操作,例如分享或存储你创建的内容。在任何情况下,YouVersion 将仅仅根据本政策的条款和你对信息提出的任何其他请求,为 YouVersion 的正当活动代你处理你向我们提供的敏感数据。我们也将根据本政策中讨论的适当保护措施以及 YouVersion 提供的其他保护措施,来维护你的信息。

你有权撤回同意,不再让我们收集和处理你敏感的个人信息,方法包括关闭和停用那些用到该信息的 YouVersion 功能、发信至 YouVersion, Attn.: YouVersion Support, 4600 E. 2nd St., Edmond, Oklahoma 73034,或电邮至 help@youversion.com;但是,你如果撤回同意,这可能令我们无法给你提供某些功能。


Disclosure of Your Information

我们不会将你的个人数据出售或分享给任何第三方广告商或广告网络,以供其做广告用途。我们可能会为了处理信息(如上所述)并方便我们提供 YouVersion 而将你个人信息披露给第三方,详述如下

Disclosure on your behalf.

我们可能会按照本隐私政策的规定,披露我们收集或你提供的个人信息,以履行我们在使用条款之下所负有的义务、实现你提供信息的目的、你提供信息时要求的任何其他目的,或者我们征得你同意的任何其他目的。

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.

我们将在 YouVersion 和其隶属机构内部处理你的个人数据,以便综合 YouVersion 各方面与我们其他产品和服务中所涵盖的个人信息,好为你提供个性化的服务,让你及他人都受益。

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. We do, however, provide these third parties with aggregate analytics concerning the use of their content by country using de-identified and anonymized data.

Our ability to provide different versions of the Bible in different languages is a result of and subject to agreements among us and certain Bible societies and publishers, which we’ll call “YouVersion Bible Providers.” The license agreements we have with some YouVersion Bible Providers only allow us to provide YouVersion users the ability to download certain Bible texts for offline use if we provide YouVersion Bible Providers with the User’s name, email address, and country for future communication. If this is the case with a text you are seeking to download for offline use, we will (i) only share this information with the YouVersion Bible Provider for the offline version you request; (ii) do so on a confidential basis and only if the YouVersion Bible Provider agrees to keep the information we share about you confidential; and (iii) provide an additional prompt to you as a reminder of these terms, which you must agree to at that time in order to continue with your download. If you do not agree to this additional prompt, you may continue to use the online version of the text. No other personal information of yours will be shared with any YouVersion Bible Providers and no information will be shared until you grant approval to our prompt, which will then give you access to download that offline version. Your interactions with any YouVersion Bible Provider are solely among you and that YouVersion Bible Provider.

Legal process.

在法律、传票或其他法律程序要求下,我们有可能需要披露关于你的信息。在我们认定适当时,我们会尝试通知成员有关其个人数据的法律要求,除非是受法律或法院命令禁止,或要求紧急。如果我们有理由相信这些要求过于宽泛、模糊或缺乏适当的权威,我们可能会对这些要求提出异议,但我们并不保证会挑战每一项要求。如果我们有充分理由相信披露是合理必要的,以便(1)对涉嫌或实际的非法活动进行调查、预防或采取行动,或者协助政府执法机构;(2)执行我们与你的协议;(3)调查和保护我们不受任何第三方索赔或指控;(4)保护 YouVersion 的安全或完整性;或(5)行使或保护 YouVersion、用户、我们的员工或其他人的权利与安全等时,我们也有可能披露你的信息。我们同时保留在发生潜在或实际兼并或收购,如出售我们资产的全部或绝大部分时,秘密披露我们持有的你个人信息的权利。


Deleting, Accessing, and Correcting Your Information

How to make your requests.

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

  • 删除:你可以请求我们删除你的全部或部分个人数据。请注意,这样做可能会限制你对 YouVersion 某些功能的使用。还请注意,必须提供电邮地址才能拥有会员账户,以确保我们能够正确验证该账户的潜在用户。
  • 修正/修改:你可以通过你的账户编辑你的一些个人数据,或在某些情况下(包括数据不正确时)要求我们更改、更新或修复你的数据。
  • 反对或限制数据的使用:你可以要求我们停用你全部或部分的个人数据,或限制我们对该数据的使用。
  • 查阅和/或获取你数据的权利:你可以向我们索取你提供给我们的个人数据的副本。

某些法律可能提供权利,让你就自己的个人信息提出这些及其他请求。如果你已向我们提供了个人信息,并希望依照某特定地区的法律提出这类请求,那么请将你的请求电邮至 help@youversion.com(须在主题栏以英文写上“[你所在的州/国家] Privacy Request”字样),或发信至 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.

你可以随时使用 YouVersion 中的设置功能删除你的 YouVersion 账户;但是,当你删除你的账户时,我们将删除与你账户相关的信息,例如笔记、书签,和你所创建、接收或分享的其他用户投稿。如果你不想删除你的账户或这些信息,但想暂停使用 YouVersion,你可以停用 YouVersion 应用程序,我们则将保留你的账户以及与你账户相关的信息,直到你恢复使用或删除你的账户,以先到者为准。

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).

你提出请求后,我们一般会在14天内删除你的信息和账户,但是缓存的信息可能需要多达30天才能删除。请注意,在你关闭账户,或请求我们删除信息,或自行尝试删除账户之后,你曾经通过 YouVersion 跟他人分享过的信息将不受我们控制。你所分享过的信息和内容可能会继续显示在他人的服务里(例如搜索引擎结果),直到他们刷新缓存为止。


Security and Protection

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 16.

We do not collect personal information from any person we actually know is under the age of 16 without the consent of the parent or legal guardian of that minor.

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 in the platform known as the Bible App for Kids. Should you allow your minor child to use your account (whether through your profile or a Bible App for Kids profile), you shall be 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.

要创建次要档案,需要你用你的用户信息访问你的账户,而该儿童圣经软件个人资料将由你全权控制。我们不要求你向我们披露你未成年子女的任何身份信息以创建儿童圣经软件个人资料。在为你未成年子女建立个人资料时,你只需提供“孩子的名字”以识别该账户;不过,这个名字可以是你选择的任何名字,你无需提供你未成年子女的实际姓名。

在你将你未成年子女信息与你的账户关联的情况下,我们假定你同意我们按照本政策及我们可能时不时为你提供的其他隐私通知来处理这些信息。如果你允许你的未成年子女使用 YouVersion,请同你的子女讨论在互联网上分享个人信息的风险,并要求他们不要与任何第三方交流,也不要与 YouVersion 或 YouVersion 用户分享任何个人信息。如果你认为我们可能有来自或关于某个未满16岁未成年人的任何信息,请电邮至 help@youversion.com 与我们联系。


Processing of Data

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 business; to manage corporate transactions; to generally understand and improve our internal processes and user relationships; 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.

在我们依赖你的同意处理个人数据之处,你可以撤回或拒绝同意;在我们依赖合法利益之处,你可以提出异议。如果你对我们收集和使用你个人数据的法律基础有任何疑问,请电邮至 help@youversion.com 与我们联系。

除非你使用 YouVersion 将其删除,否则我们通常会保留和处理与你账户相关的信息和用户投稿,并使用它们来促进 YouVersion 的功能,直到你的账户被删除为止。如果你想管理、更改或删除信息和用户投稿,你可以使用 https://www.bible.com/settings、限制特定的应用程序功能,或者通过上述邮寄地址或电邮地址与我们联系。我们会使用和处理这些信息,以提供你可能要求的 YouVersion 功能,直到你将该信息删除或不再拥有 YouVersion 为止。
