This Privacy Policy explains how The Context Gospel ("we," "us," or "the Service") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- Account information. Your email address, and — depending on how you sign in — either a securely hashed password or your Google account identifier together with the name and profile image Google shares with us.
- Profile information you provide. Your handle, display name, bio, and avatar.
- Content you create. Articles, comments, likes, bookmarks, and the writers you follow.
- Authentication data. Session cookies that keep you signed in, and temporary tokens we generate for email verification and magic-link sign-in.
How we use your information
- To create your account and authenticate you.
- To provide the core features — reading, writing, commenting, following, and bookmarks.
- To send service messages such as sign-in links, email verification, and notifications about activity relevant to you.
Cookies
We use a strictly necessary session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or third-party analytics cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.
Third parties we share with
We do not sell your personal information or your content. We share data only with providers that help us run the Service:
- Google — when you choose to sign in with Google.

- Our hosting provider — to operate the servers and database that store the Service's data.
Your choices and rights
You may access and update your profile information at any time from your account settings, and you may request deletion of your account and associated content by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable law.
California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
