Privacy policy
Textorah is an independent website based in Utah, USA. This page says what the site collects, why, and how to have it deleted. Effective 2026-11-01.
Reading without an account
You can read everything without signing in. Your display settings (columns, theme, text size) and your place in the text are kept in your own browser's storage and are not sent to us.
If you create an account
- What we keep: your email address, your display settings (so they follow you between devices), and whether you are a supporter and until when.
- Where: with our database host, Supabase (servers in the USA).
- Deleting it: the Account page has “Download my data” and “Delete my account”. Deleting removes your account, email and settings at once.
If you support the site
Payments are handled by Stripe; your card details go to Stripe and never reach us. We keep a record of each contribution (amount, date, the email Stripe gives us, and Stripe's reference numbers) because tax law requires it. If you delete your account, these records are kept but no longer linked to an account. See Stripe's privacy policy.
Advertising
Readers who are not signed-in supporters see ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and measure them, which may be based on your visits to this and other sites. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first. You can manage personalised ads at Google's ad settings; see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Supporters never load the ad script.
Rabbinic citations
When you open the citations panel, your browser asks Sefaria (sefaria.org) for the citations of that verse; Sefaria's own privacy policy applies to those requests.
Error reports
If you send a report through the Contact page, we keep the message, the page and verse, and the email address if you give one, to answer and fix the problem. Reports are forwarded to us by email.
Services the site relies on
- Cloudflare hosts the site and, like any web host, briefly processes your IP address to deliver pages and protect against abuse.
- Supabase stores accounts, contributions and error reports. Its sign-in code is loaded from the jsDelivr network.
- Resend sends sign-in emails and forwards error reports to us.
- Stripe processes contributions; its payment form loads only on the Support page.
- Sefaria answers rabbinic-citation requests, and Google AdSense serves ads, as described above.
We do not sell personal information.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and accounts are not intended for them.
Your rights and contact
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or ask any question at [email protected]. We will post any change to this policy here with a new effective date.
