Privacy and cookies
What data VID asks for, why, who sees it and what is kept on your phone. No small print.
In short
- You don't need an account for anything.
- VID uses no cookies and nothing that follows you.
- What your phone keeps is yours and never leaves it.
- If you sign up for something, only the organisers and the VID team see your details.
What we ask for
To read, learn or search: nothing.
- If you sign up for an event or a workshop: your name, your phone number, how many people are coming and, if you like, a note.
- If you share a verse: only the reference and the text, without your name.
- If you have an account (only churches, institutions, sponsors and the team): the email address and the details of the church or institution.
What a church publishes (its page, events, courses and projects) is public, because that is why it publishes it. Church pages never show pastors' names or personal phone numbers.
Who sees it
Only those who need to.
When you sign up, your name and phone number go to whoever organises the event or runs the workshop, so they can let you know, and to the VID team. Nobody else.
We know that signing up for something at a church is sensitive personal data. That is why we ask for the minimum and use it for nothing else: there is no advertising and no tools that follow you from page to page, and we never sell or lend data to anyone.
The data is stored by the services that host the site and its database, which may be outside Cuba and outside your country, and which keep it only on our behalf. As on any website, the server keeps a technical record of each visit (internet address, page and time) to work and to protect itself.
To stop robots, the forms you can send without an account have “I'm not a robot”: when you tick it, your phone does a quick sum and our server checks it. No cookies, and nothing goes through Google or anyone else.
How long
Only as long as needed.
Event and workshop details, for as long as they are needed for that event or workshop. Account details, for as long as the account exists. If you want us to delete something sooner, write to us and we will.
On your phone
VID uses no cookies.
So that you don't need an account, a few things are kept in your own browser. They don't leave your phone or computer, and we can't see them. Because they are there for what you asked for, we don't need your permission, but here is everything:
| What | What for | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your Biblevid-biblia | Your highlights, your notes, where you left off and how you like to read. | How long: Until you delete it. |
| The Bible offlinevid-biblia-1 | The books you have opened, to read them without internet. | How long: Until you delete it. |
| Your learningvid-academia | Lessons read, your answers, the workshops you signed up for and the name for your certificate. | How long: Until you delete it. |
| The story of Jesusvid-jesus · vid-jesus-vista | The moments you have read, your answers and whether you prefer the drawing or the map. | How long: Until you delete it. |
| Churches you followvid-sigo | The ones you marked with “Follow”, to find them again. | How long: Until you delete it. |
| What you are writingvid-apuntarme · vid-versiculo · vid-proponer-evento | What you type in a form, so you don't lose it if the connection drops. It is deleted when you send it, except your name and phone number in “Sign me up”, which stay for next time. | How long: Until you send or delete it. |
| The appvid-instalar · vid-instalada | Whether you said “Not now” to installing it, or have already installed it. | How long: “Not now”, three weeks; the rest, until you delete it. |
| The emergency noticevid-emergencia-cerrada | That you closed it, so it isn't shown again. | How long: Until you close the tab. |
| Offline pagesvid-app-1-paginas · vid-app-1-archivos | The last pages you opened and the site's files, so it opens even without internet. | How long: Until a new version comes out or you delete it. |
| Your sessionsb-…-auth-token | Only if you have an account: so you stay signed in when you come back. | How long: Until you sign out. |
To delete it all, clear this site's data in your browser settings. If you have Bible notes you want to keep, save them to a file first from “My highlights and notes”.

If something changes
We will ask you first.
If VID ever uses something that needs your permission, such as counting visits or showing a map or a video from another site, we will ask you first, with “Accept” and “Decline” equally easy, and nothing will load until you say yes. And we will explain it here.
