Library 422Privacy notice and terms
In short
- Library 422 collects nothing about you. There are no accounts, no analytics, no cookies, no advertising and no third-party scripts or fonts.
- Your reading position, texts, downloaded data, highlights and notes are stored only on your own device.
Who runs this
Library 422 is a free, non-commercial project. Questions, corrections, and requests about content or rights go to library422-help@bedrock-technology.com.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not run analytics, we do not set cookies, we do not ask you to sign in, and no page or app screen loads anything from a third party. There is no server of ours that receives what you read, search, highlight or write.
Hosting
library422.org and app.library422.org, including the data the app downloads, are static files served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, it receives your IP address and the details of each request and processes them under its own privacy policy for security and delivery. We see only Cloudflare's aggregate request counts, which identify nobody.
What stays on your device
The app stores the following in your browser's storage for app.library422.org, or inside the Android or desktop app:
- Settings and reading position: the texts you chose, the chapter you were on, display options.
- The Bible texts, lexicons and Library works you downloaded from the catalog.
- Your highlights, bookmarks and notes.
To remove any of it: use Remove in the catalog or clear the site's data in your browser; uninstalling the Android or desktop app removes everything. Nothing is backed up to any server by us.
Read aloud and sharing
Read aloud uses the speech engine of your browser or phone. Some engines synthesise speech on the maker's servers depending on your system settings; that is between you and your device's maker. Exporting notes or copying a link to a passage uses your device's share sheet or clipboard, and only when you tap it.
Children
Library 422 is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side; everything is in your hands on your own device. If you have a question under the GDPR, the CCPA or any other privacy law, write to the address above.
Terms of use
- Library 422 is free. The texts, lexicons and works it ships are public domain or Creative Commons; each is credited with its licence on the sources and licences page and in the app under Settings.
- Everything is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. The texts are historical editions and scans and the word tagging and lexicon links are machine-derived; none of it is warranted to be accurate, complete or fit for any purpose. Check the passages.
- Library 422 is not affiliated with or endorsed by the publishers or maintainers of any of the texts or software it uses. Names of translations, editions and software are the trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify unchanged copies of their work.
- If you believe material in Library 422 infringes your rights, write to the address above with the details and it will be acted on promptly.
- This notice may change as the app does; the date at the top records when.
