Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 17, 2026

The Biblical Pattern respects the privacy of visitors to TheBiblicalPattern.com. This policy explains the information that may be collected when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Information You Provide

If you use the Contact page, subscribe for updates, or otherwise submit information voluntarily, the site may receive information such as your name, email address, general location information you choose to provide, and the content of your message. This information is used to respond to your request, provide requested updates, or operate the website.

WordPress.com Hosting and Necessary Technologies

The website is hosted using WordPress.com. WordPress.com may process technical information and use cookies or similar technologies needed to provide, secure, and operate its services. Some cookies may also relate to logged-in WordPress.com users or features provided by the platform.

KJV Scripture Previews — Logos RefTagger

On substantive Scripture-content pages, The Biblical Pattern provides KJV Scripture-reference previews through Logos RefTagger, a third-party service. When those pages load, your browser may connect to Logos services so Scripture references can be recognized and KJV text can be displayed when you hover over or interact with a reference. Logos states that its services, including RefTagger integrations, may use cookies and other technologies. Please review the Logos privacy information linked from this policy before using the site if you have concerns about third-party technologies.

Optional Page Translation — Google Translate

The Biblical Pattern offers an optional Translate Page feature for visitors who prefer to read site content in another language. Google Translate is not loaded automatically. It is loaded only after a visitor opens the translation control and chooses to enable translation. At that point, the browser connects to Google services and Google may process technical information under its own privacy practices. Automatically translated text is provided as a reading aid; the original English content remains the authoritative site content, and The Biblical Pattern’s Scripture standard remains the KJV.

Email Updates

If you choose to subscribe, your email address is used to send updates you requested. Subscription delivery may be provided through WordPress.com/Jetpack or another service identified on the subscription form. You may unsubscribe using the link provided in subscription emails.

Embedded and External Content

The website may link to or embed content from third-party websites, including Bible resources and, as the site develops, video services such as YouTube. Third-party websites operate under their own privacy policies and may collect information when you visit or interact with their services.

Sharing

Article sharing controls may use your device's native sharing features or open a service you select. The Biblical Pattern does not require you to use a social-media service to read the website.

Cookies and Website Technologies

WordPress.com and third-party services used by this website may use cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies as part of providing their services. The privacy notice on this site is informational and may be dismissed with the × button; dismissing the notice does not disable normal website features. The site stores only the fact that the notice was dismissed so it does not repeatedly interrupt your reading. Clearing browser storage may cause the notice to appear again.

WordPress.com provides its own information and controls concerning WordPress.com cookies, tracking, and applicable privacy choices. Third-party services are governed by their own privacy practices.

Comments

Comments are closed on Find It in the Bible entries and are not used as a means of collecting visitor information there.

Children's Privacy

The website provides general Bible-study material and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. Children should not submit personal information through the site's forms without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.

Data Requests and Contact

If you have a question about information you submitted through this website, use the Contact page. Requests concerning data processed directly by WordPress.com may also be subject to WordPress.com's own privacy procedures.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated as The Biblical Pattern adds or changes website features. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.

This policy describes the website's current practices and is provided for transparency; it is not legal advice.
