Christwise is built for honest learning, and that means being honest about data. This page explains what we collect, why, where it lives, and how to reach us if you want it removed.

Browsing without an account

You can use almost every feature of Christwise — lessons, objections, the Truth Engine, Compare, Sources, the Scholars index, and the Case File request form — without creating an account. We do not require you to identify yourself to read or share content.

When you visit a page, we record an anonymous, aggregated view: the path you visited, the referring source bucket (e.g. google, direct, chatgpt), a coarse bot/not-bot heuristic, your user agent string, and a randomly generated visitor identifier stored in your browser's localStorage. That identifier is not tied to your name, email, IP address, or any third-party tracker. Clearing your browser storage removes it.

Notes accounts (email and password)

The Notes feature lets signed-in users save reflections, bookmark items, and track lesson progress. To use it you create an account with an email address and a password. Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth. We never see your password — only the email address you chose to register with.

The data tied to your account is limited to what makes the feature work:

  • The notes you write
  • The lessons, objections, and scholars you bookmark
  • Which lessons you have marked as complete

You can delete a note, remove a bookmark, or unmark progress at any time. If you would like your account and all associated data deleted, email us through the and we will remove it.

Case File, support, contact, and affiliate links

Some features collect a small amount of additional information when you choose to use them:

  • Case File requests. When you submit the Case File form, we record your name, email, mailing address (when provided), and the items you requested so we can fulfill the order.
  • Support interactions. If you click a support button, we record an anonymous event indicating which entry point was used, so we can understand which surfaces are working. No identity is attached to that event.
  • Contact messages. If you send a message through the Contact page, we store your name, email, audience selection, subject, message body, and your user-agent string so we can respond. Only the project's admins can read these messages.
  • Affiliate links. When you click an outbound affiliate link to a book or resource, we record an anonymous click event so we can understand which resources are useful. We are an Amazon Associate; qualifying purchases may earn the project a small commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Bayesian and Truth Engine sessions. Anonymous, aggregate session data may be stored to improve those tools. No identity is attached.

Where data lives

Christwise uses Supabase (Postgres) for all data storage. Row-Level Security policies are enabled on every table so that, for example, your notes and bookmarks are visible only to you, contact messages are readable only by admins, and anonymous analytics rows cannot be read back from the browser.

We do not sell your data. We do not run advertising trackers. We do not load third-party analytics scripts (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.). Email is used only to reply to you or to fulfill what you asked for.

Cookies and local storage

Christwise does not use advertising or tracking cookies. We use browser storage for two purposes: to remember your light/dark theme preference, and to keep an anonymous visitor identifier for aggregate analytics. Authenticated sessions use Supabase's standard auth cookies/local storage.

Requests, corrections, deletion

To request a copy of any data tied to your account, ask for a correction, or delete your data, please use the . We respond from a real human, not an automated system.

Updates to this policy will be reflected on this page with a new Last updated date.
