Privacy policy
Effective 9 July 2026
The short version: we collect as little as possible, we sell nothing, and this page will always say so plainly. The Morning Psalm is a place to read — not a place that reads you.
What we collect
Nothing you type. The website has no accounts, no comments, and no forms that are required to read anything.
Anonymous visit statistics. We use Vercel Analytics, a cookie-free analytics service that records aggregated page views (which pages are read, roughly where in the world from, on what kind of device). It does not use cookies, does not identify you, and does not follow you to other websites.
Server logs. Our hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard technical logs (such as IP addresses) for a short period to run and protect the service, as every host does.
Your email, only if you give it. If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored by our newsletter provider (beehiiv) and used only to send you what you asked for. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you.
What we don't do
We don’t sell or rent your information to anyone. We don’t run third-party tracking pixels. We don’t currently show advertising anywhere on this site; if that ever changes, it will only appear on the website (never in our apps or browser extensions), and this policy will be updated first, with proper consent tooling where the law requires it.
Our extensions and apps
Companion tools we release (such as browser extensions) are built local-first: your reading history, favourites, and preferences stay on your device. Where a tool has its own privacy notes, they are listed with that tool.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under UK/EU GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Since we hold almost none, the usual answer is simple: unsubscribe from the newsletter and there is nothing left to delete. For anything else, contact us and we’ll help.

Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new effective date. We won’t quietly move the goalposts.
