A Year Held in His Hands| A New Year Sermon Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Every time a new year comes close, something in me start feeling that weird mix of excitement and heaviness. Maybe you know the feeling too—like you’re standing at this invisible doorway. One foot in the old year (the stuff you want to forget but somehow still sticks to you like stubborn glue), and the other foot stepping into something you still can’t see clearly. And sometimes you’re hopeful, sometimes you’re scared, sometimes you’re… well, both at the same time. I was thinking about all that while reading some Scriptures again, and honestly, it hit me harder this year. Maybe because life been kinda loud lately, or maybe because I’m tired of pretending everything always makes sense. But the Bible does this thing, right?

Privacy Policy for BibleLibrary777.blogspot.com

Effective Date: August 9, 2025

Welcome to BibleLibrary777.com. We value your trust, and that’s why we want to be completely transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy is here to explain, in plain and simple words (and sometimes a few long ones), what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have in all of this.

We believe you deserve to know exactly what’s happening with your data — no vague language, no fine print buried somewhere.


1. Who We Are

BibleLibrary777.com is an online Bible study and commentary resource. We write, post, and share content that helps people dive deeper into the Word of God, one chapter at a time.

Our mission is to make Bible study personal, clear, and easy to access, while respecting your privacy at every step.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, you can always email us at:

📧 contact@biblelibrary777.blogspot.com


2. The Short Version

We don’t sell your personal data. We collect only what’s necessary for our website to function, improve, and keep in touch with you if you’ve asked us to. Some of this data is collected automatically (like your browser type or how long you stayed on a page), and some is collected directly from you (like when you sign up for an email newsletter).

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to delete it, or unsubscribe from our emails anytime.

Now, if you want the full details, keep reading.


3. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

A. Information You Provide to Us Directly

You might share personal details with us when you:

  • Subscribe to our email newsletter.

  • Contact us through our contact form or by email.

  • Leave a comment on a blog post (if commenting is enabled).

  • Download any resources we offer.

  • Fill out any surveys or feedback forms.

The information you provide might include:

  • Your name (first name is often enough for us).

  • Your email address.

  • Your message content.

  • Optional details you choose to share (like location, denomination, or prayer requests).

We never force you to provide personal information unless it’s necessary for a specific service you’ve requested.


B. Information We Collect Automatically

Whenever you visit our site, certain data is automatically collected to help us understand how people use BibleLibrary777.com and to make it better. This may include:

  • Your IP address.

  • Browser type and version.

  • Pages you visited and how long you stayed.

  • Referring website (how you got here).

  • Device type (desktop, tablet, phone).

We use tools like Google Analytics (and possibly similar services) to gather this anonymous data. This helps us see which blog posts are read most, what people search for, and where visitors are coming from.


C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies — not the chocolate chip kind, sadly — but tiny digital files stored on your browser to make your experience better.

Cookies help us:

  • Remember your preferences.

  • Keep the site running smoothly.

  • Understand what content interests our visitors most.

You can refuse cookies or delete them in your browser settings, but some parts of the site might not work perfectly without them.


4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for:

  1. Running and improving the site – So pages load faster, errors are fixed, and the experience is smoother.

  2. Communication – If you’ve subscribed, we’ll send you Bible study updates, articles, and possibly devotionals.

  3. Understanding trends – Seeing which chapters, books, or topics get the most attention.

  4. Responding to inquiries – If you reach out to us, we’ll use your contact details to reply.

  5. Legal compliance – Sometimes we must store information for legal or regulatory reasons.


5. Sharing Your Information

We don’t sell or rent your personal information. That’s not who we are. But in certain situations, we might need to share data:

  • With service providers – Like email newsletter services (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, etc.), analytics tools (Google Analytics), or website hosting providers. They help us run the site but are bound by agreements to protect your information.

  • For legal reasons – If required by law, court order, or government request.

  • In case of a business transfer – If BibleLibrary777.com is ever merged or sold, user information may transfer with the website.

We will never share your personal information for marketing purposes with unrelated third parties.


6. Email Communication

When you subscribe to our email list, you’re agreeing to receive occasional emails from us — this might include new Bible study posts, encouragement, or special resources.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email. We’ll stop sending messages right away, though it might take up to 48 hours for the system to process your request.

We don’t like spam either, so we keep our email frequency respectful.


7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we have about you.

  • Correct any mistakes in that data.

  • Delete your personal data entirely.

  • Limit or object to how we process your data.

  • Withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise these rights, email contact@biblelibrary777.com with your request. We’ll respond within a reasonable time frame (usually within 30 days).


8. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. If you unsubscribe from our emails, your details will be removed from our mailing list.

Certain technical logs or anonymized analytics data may be kept longer for site security, backups, or legal compliance.


9. Data Security

We use a combination of technical measures (SSL encryption, secure hosting) and administrative practices to protect your information.

However — and we have to be honest here — no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we work hard to safeguard your data, we can’t guarantee absolute security.


10. Children’s Privacy

BibleLibrary777.com is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child has provided personal information without parental consent, we will delete it immediately.


11. Third-Party Links

Our site may link to other websites — for example, a Bible translation site or a recommended Christian resource. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Once you leave BibleLibrary777.com, you should review the privacy policy of the new site you’re visiting.


12. Google AdSense and Advertising

When we run ads (such as Google AdSense), third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to BibleLibrary777.com and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:

👉 Google Ads Settings

Some ad partners might also use tracking technologies. While these help keep the site free for readers, you can block or limit tracking in your browser settings.


13. International Visitors

If you’re visiting BibleLibrary777.com from outside our hosting country, your information may be transferred to and stored in a country whose privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your own. By using our site, you agree to such transfers.


14. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have “Do Not Track” features. Currently, there’s no universal standard for responding to these signals, so we don’t alter our data collection in response.


15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, technology, or our practices. When we do, we’ll post the updated date at the top of this page.

If the changes are significant, we may also notify subscribers by email.

17. Final Thoughts

At BibleLibrary777.com, privacy isn’t just a checkbox for us — it’s part of respecting our readers. We’re here to share God’s Word, not your personal details.

We want you to feel safe, valued, and respected while exploring our commentaries, devotionals, and studies. That’s why we’ve written this policy in a way that’s (hopefully) easy to read, while still covering the important points required by law.

Thank you for trusting us with your time, attention, and — if you’ve shared it — your personal information. We’ll always aim to handle it with the same care we’d want for ourselves.
