Privacy & Compliance — Bible as Literature Breakouts

Privacy & Compliance

These breakouts are built to be safe for every classroom in Texas and beyond. They collect nothing, require no accounts, and run entirely in the student's browser.

What we collect: nothing

No accounts, no logins, no sign-ups.
No analytics, tracking pixels, cookies, or advertising.
All activity state (which locks are open) lives only in the browser during the session and disappears when the tab closes.
The only outside request is to Google Fonts for typefaces. Self-host the two font files to reach zero external egress.
Every page sets referrer: no-referrer.

How that maps to the rules

Framework	How this resource complies
FERPA	No education records are created, stored, or transmitted.
COPPA	No personal information is collected from any child under 13 (or anyone).
Texas SCOPE Act	No data collection, targeted advertising, or profiling of minors.
TEC §32.151–32.156	No sale or sharing of student data; nothing to disclose because nothing is gathered.
GDPR	No personal data is processed, so there is no lawful-basis or consent obligation.
CIPA	Static content with no user-generated media, chat, or external links to unfiltered material.

Accessibility (VPAT-lite): keyboard-operable locks, semantic headings, high-contrast palette, text alternatives for icon glyphs, and a seven-language switcher including right-to-left support. Report gaps so they can be fixed.

Content framing

This is a study resource about religious literature — not religious instruction. The Bible stories here are the texts Texas adopted for K–12 classrooms (Bluebonnet Learning and the 2025 required reading list), and they are taught academically: analyzing story, genre, theme, archetype, and allusion. There is no devotional content, prayer, or truth claim. This approach follows the line drawn in Abington School District v. Schempp (1963) and stated by the TEA for its own materials.

A note for families and teachers

Because these texts are religiously significant to many families and not to others, the activities are written to include every student — those of any faith and those of none. Where the adopted materials and scholars disagree about a story's meaning, students are taught to notice the disagreement, not to take a side.

Teacher answer keys are protected with client-side AES-256 encryption; the password is never transmitted. This is appropriate for answer keys but is not a substitute for server-side protection of any paid or sensitive materials.
