What this site does locally
Get Random Bible Verse is a static website. When you draw a verse, save a
favorite, or switch translations, that information is stored in your browser's
local storage on your own device — specifically the keys
grbv-seen (verses already drawn), grbv-favs (your saved
verses), grbv-translation (your translation choice), and
grbv-theme (light or dark mode). Nothing in local storage is
transmitted to us or to anyone else. You can delete it at any time by clearing
your browser's site data.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic — how many people visit, which pages they view, and roughly where they come from. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects your IP address (anonymized where supported), device type, and pages visited. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors, and we never see which verses you drew. You can opt out with any reputable tracker blocker or via Google's opt-out guidance.
Cookies
This site itself sets no cookies. Google Analytics may set cookies (such as
_ga) for the aggregate measurement described above. No advertising
cookies are currently in use; if display advertising is enabled in the future,
this policy will be updated before it goes live.
Third-party resources
Pages load our display font (Cormorant Garamond) from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com) when you visit. Verse audio files, image cards, and all reading features are served from our own domain or generated locally in your browser. Where the NIV/ESV options are enabled, selecting one sends a request to our own server, which fetches the verse from the publisher's official API (Biblica or Crossway) at that moment; the text is never stored by us. You can verify every claim on this page yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and you will see no verse, favorite, or mood ever leave your device except as just described.
Contact form
If you write to us through the contact form, your name, email address, and message are processed by our form provider (Formspree) solely so we can reply. We do not add you to any mailing list.
Your choices and rights
Because we hold no accounts and store nothing about your reading server-side, there is no personal profile to export or delete. For anything sent through the contact form, email contact@getrandombibleverse.com and we will delete the correspondence on request. Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and similar), you may have additional rights; contact us and we will honor them.
Changes to this policy
If we change how data is handled, we will update this page and the "Last verified" date above before the change takes effect.
