Terms of Service
Effective date: April 5, 2026
Last updated: April 5, 2026
Agreement
By using Berean Bible (the “App”), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. These terms are intentionally simple because the App is free and collects no data.
What Berean Bible Is
Berean Bible is a free, open-source Bible reading platform that provides the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) text with study tools including search, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and reading plans.
Bible Text License
The Berean Standard Bible text is in the public domain (CC0). You are free to read, copy, share, and distribute the Scripture text without restriction. This is not our decision to grant; the BSB was released into the public domain by its translators at berean.bible.
Application License
The Berean Bible application source code is released under the MIT License. You are free to use, modify, and distribute the code. The full license is available in our GitHub repository.
Your Data
All your personal data (bookmarks, notes, highlights, reading progress, settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to it and cannot recover it if lost. You are responsible for your own device backups.
No Warranty
Berean Bible is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. While we strive for accuracy in presenting the BSB text, we make no guarantees about the completeness or correctness of any content. Always verify Scripture against trusted sources.
No Denominational Authority
Berean Bible does not represent, endorse, or promote any denomination, church, or theological tradition. The App presents Scripture text and study tools. Interpretation and application are the responsibility of the reader.
Acceptable Use
You may use Berean Bible for personal study, group study, teaching, research, or any lawful purpose. We ask only that you do not misrepresent the App as affiliated with any denomination or organization that it is not.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
