We process personal information for purposes including:

• Creating, authenticating and managing membership accounts.

• Providing access to subscribed features and services.

• Processing subscriptions, renewals, cancellations and refunds.

• Maintaining reading preferences and saved features.

• Responding to customer questions and technical difficulties.

• Maintaining service security, detecting misuse and diagnosing faults.

• Understanding website performance and improving accessibility and usability.

• Meeting legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.

 

Where required, we seek consent before using non-essential cookies, analytics or other optional technologies.

We do not use personal Bible-study notes as advertising material.

5. Lawful Bases for Processing

Under applicable UK data-protection law, processing may rely on:

Contract: Where information is necessary to provide a membership or requested service.

Legal obligation: Where records must be maintained for accounting, taxation, consumer protection or other legal requirements.

​

Legitimate interests: Where necessary and proportionate for security, troubleshooting, customer support or service improvement, subject to individuals' rights.

​

Consent: Where required for optional analytics, marketing or other processing that depends on permission.

Special-category information: Personal notes or other information may reveal religious beliefs, health information or other sensitive matters. Where MMP processes such information, an appropriate Article 9 condition and additional safeguards are required.

​

6. Personal Notes, Highlights and Reading Preferences

BIBLE.READ allows users to interact personally with Scripture through features such as bookmarks, highlights, Note-Pad entries and reading preferences.

 

We recognise that personal reflections may contain private or sensitive information.

​

Users should avoid entering financial details, passwords or other information that is unnecessary for Bible study.

The storage, accessibility, retention and deletion arrangements for saved reading information depend on the technical operation of each feature and are described in the applicable service information.

​

MMP will not publish or disclose personal Bible-study reflections for promotional purposes without an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, permission.

​

Local Storage and International Data Processing

Bible.Read Note-Pad entries are stored locally on the user's television. Mish Mash Publications Ltd does not routinely receive or store these personal notes on its servers.

Membership and account information is processed separately through Wix and authorised service providers. Depending on their infrastructure and applicable data protection arrangements, this information may be processed or stored in countries outside the United Kingdom.

7. Microphone and Voice-to-Text

Where supported, BIBLE.READ provides optional microphone-assisted dictation to help users enter notes.

Microphone access is intended to support the specific functionality requested by the user.

 

Information processed through voice-recognition technology may include spoken words, transcribed text and technical information needed to deliver dictation.

​

Any external voice-processing services, recording retention or transmission outside the device must be disclosed in accordance with the actual implementation.

​

8. Wix, Google Analytics and Website Data

MMP operates its website through Wix and uses website analytics services, including Google Analytics.

​

These technologies may help us understand website visits, approximate visitor regions, device categories, page interactions and website performance.

​

Analytics may involve cookies, device identifiers and other technical information, subject to the applicable consent choices and configuration.

​

Visitors may manage available cookie preferences through the website's cookie controls.

Website analytics and BIBLE.READ's personal reading information are different types of data and are not automatically treated as interchangeable.

​

9. Service Providers and Sharing

MMP may use authorised providers to support website hosting, membership administration, authentication, payment processing, analytics, email communications and the technical operation of BIBLE.READ.

​

Such providers may process information according to their contractual roles, applicable privacy terms and legal responsibilities.

​

MMP does not sell personal Bible-study notes or membership information to advertisers.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect legal rights or to respond to lawful regulatory requests.

10. Children and Families

BIBLE.READ is intended to be accessible to families, including younger viewers who may explore Scripture with parents or guardians.

​

Paid subscriptions must be established by an adult aged 18 or over.

​

MMP recognises the importance of children's privacy and aims to apply age-appropriate safeguards, data minimisation and appropriate protections when designing features likely to be accessed by children.

​

Adults supervising children should consider what personal information is entered into shared household devices.

 

11. International Access and Data Transfers

BIBLE.READ may be made available in multiple countries and territories.

​

Where personal information is transferred internationally, MMP will apply the protections required by applicable data-protection law, including suitable transfer mechanisms where necessary.

​

Availability of the application in a country does not necessarily mean personal information is stored in that country.

 

12. Security

MMP takes reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure and loss.

​

Access to personal information should be restricted to authorised persons and service providers who require it for legitimate operational purposes.

​

No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure.

 

13. How Long We Keep Information

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for its relevant purpose, including providing services, resolving disputes, maintaining appropriate records and complying with legal requirements.

​

Different retention periods may apply to account information, billing records, customer support correspondence, technical logs and user-created reading information.

​

Deleting an account or cancelling a subscription may not immediately remove records that MMP is legally required to retain.

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights to:

• Request access to their personal information.

• Request correction of inaccurate information.

• Request erasure where legally applicable.

• Restrict or object to certain processing.

• Request eligible information in a portable format.

• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.

• Complain to the relevant data-protection authority.
