1. Acceptance
Welcome to Christ Is All. Before you create an account or use the study features, we want to be clear with you about how the site works and what we expect from our time together here. These Terms exist for that — in plain language, without legalese. If anything reads as confusing, please reach out through the channel listed in section 5.
By creating an account on the site, you confirm that you have read these Terms and our Privacy Policy and that you agree with them. This is what we call acceptance — it means we count on you to use the site with care, and you count on us to keep what we have agreed here.
If you disagree with any part of these Terms, please do not create an account. You can still read every study without signing up, without saving your reading progress, and without storing reflections. None of that is gated by a paywall. Public reading of the studies is, and continues to be, free.
A note for parents and guardians: the site is not designed for children or teenagers under 18. If you are responsible for a minor and believe they have created an account, please use the contact channel in this policy or in the Privacy Policy to request immediate deletion.
2. Content ownership
The site has two kinds of content, and it is important to keep them separate:
Editorial content. The Bible studies, the writing, the selection of passages, the illustrations, the reflection questions, the suggested prayers and the overall curation of the site are authored by the maintainer, Anderson A. do N. Silva, and are protected by copyright (Brazilian Law nº 9.610/1998). You may share short excerpts — with attribution and a link back to the original study — for study, devotional or small-group teaching purposes. What we ask is that you do not reproduce whole studies on other sites without permission: the writing, the expository sequence and the theological seam form a whole, and spreading loose copies hurts both the author and the readers who could have arrived at the site to read the full context.
If you are a pastor, teacher or small-group leader and would like to use an entire study in printed form or distributed to a class, please write to the contact channel (section 4) — we usually reply with a one-off permission, generally free of charge. The goal is to serve the church, not to restrict the teaching of the Word.
Content you generate. Your annotations, Spiritual Journal answers, Personal Biblical Brain notes, highlights, markings and any other record produced inside your account belong to you. The site only stores them so they sync across your devices and so you can export or delete them whenever you want. This content is never used for commercial purposes, shown in advertising, or fed into artificial-intelligence models without your explicit consent (see Privacy Policy, section 6, on your rights).
Even on the social features — comments on studies, discussion threads, optional public profiles — you keep authorship of what you wrote. When you publish something, you only grant us the licence needed to display it on the site in the context where you posted it; never for any other use.
In short: what we write is ours; what you write is yours; we keep both sides of that equation respected.
3. Personal data handling (LGPD)
The topic of personal data is central for us. That is why an entire section of the Privacy Policy is dedicated to it. Here, we repeat the essential points, with explicit references to the articles of Brazilian Law nº 13.709/2018 (LGPD) so you know exactly where to look:
-
Art. 7, items I and V — your data is processed with your consent (when you create an account and tick the option boxes) and to perform the service you requested (syncing your notes across devices, letting you retrieve what you stored when you switch devices). We do not use your data for anything beyond that without asking again.
-
Art. 7, §4 — when we process sensitive data (your Spiritual Journal answers, your personal notes, any religious-profile field), we do so only with specific and highlighted consent. The purpose is exclusively the one you accepted when you used the feature.
-
Art. 9 — we, as controllers, follow the principle of necessity: we collect only the data strictly required to deliver what you asked for. There is no collecting for collecting's sake, no filling fields "just to have them".
-
Art. 16 — your data is deleted when you delete your account, with no hidden retention period afterwards. Deletion is immediate and definitive; operational backups rotate on a short window (generally up to 30 days).
-
Art. 18 — at any moment you have the right to confirm the existence of processing, access, correct, anonymize, port and eliminate your data. To exercise these rights, go straight to the My Account page (the "Download my data" button to export; the "Permanently delete my account" button to erase), or write to the contact channel listed in the Privacy Policy.
-
Art. 33 — in the event of a security incident that may cause risk or damage to your personal data, you will be notified by email and by a banner on the site homepage, with a description of what happened, the data affected and the measures taken.
Your data is yours. Export or delete it at any time.
That is our commitment. If you find anything that contradicts what is written here, treat it as a bug and tell us — we will correct it with the same transparency with which we wrote these Terms.
4. Contact
For questions about these Terms, requests for permission to reproduce content, suggestions for improvement or any other editorial matter, write to andanacarol@gmail.com. We try our best to reply within 15 days.
For matters related to your personal data (access, export, deletion, correction), the preferred path remains the My Account page, with immediate effect. A direct channel for other privacy matters is published in the Privacy Policy.
When you write to us, we try to answer in the same humble and pastoral voice as these Terms — not with automated replies. If the request is about something we can solve directly on the account page, that will be the guidance; if it is something that truly needs to come to us, we will explain what we can and cannot do, and why.
5. Governing law
These Terms are interpreted under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The courts of the maintainer's domicile are elected to settle any dispute that cannot be resolved by direct dialogue, with express waiver of any other, however privileged.
This clause is a legal requirement and sounds intimidating, but in practice it simply means: if there is a conflict we cannot resolve by talking, the competent judge is the one in the place where the maintainer lives. Our first and constant effort is that this never be necessary. Before any legal measure, we always want the path of dialogue — and we believe this is also the way the Christian faith resolves conflicts between brothers and sisters.
6. Changes to these Terms
The site evolves over time — new studies, new features, pedagogical adjustments, changes in service providers, new legal requirements. When this requires updating these Terms, the date of the last update and the version in effect are shown at the top of this page, in highlighted form.
Material changes — alterations that change what we store, how we use it, with whom we share it or how you exercise your rights — will be announced with a visible notice on this page and, for signed-in users, by transactional email, with reasonable notice before they take effect. Purely editorial changes (typo fixes, broken links, clarity of wording) may be made without prior notice; in any case, the date at the top of the page reflects the revision.
If after a change you no longer agree with the new Terms, you can request the deletion of your account at any time, with immediate effect and prior export of the data you wish to keep. No new Term traps anyone — you can always leave, taking what is yours.
We keep on the server a history of previous versions of these Terms. If, at some point, you need to check what was in effect on a past date, write to the contact channel (section 4) and we will send the archived version that corresponds.
