The Sermon Library website and the "Sermon Library" Alexa skill are run by our church for its members. They let members search, read notes for and listen to recorded Sunday messages. This page explains what we keep and why.

What we keep

• Your email address, because only people on our member list can sign in. We may also keep your name if you give it.
• Sign-in codes and links, stored only as scrambled values that expire within 30 minutes.
• Questions you ask on the website or through Alexa, along with your email, so we can see what helps and improve answers.
• Feedback you send about sermon notes, and access requests (your email, name and message).
• Alexa link tokens, stored as scrambled values, so Alexa can reach your account after you link it.

We don't receive your Amazon account details, voice recordings or the address of your device. Amazon handles those under its own privacy notice. The skill only receives the words of your request as text.

How it's used

Only to run this service. We don't sell or share your information, and we don't use it for advertising. To answer questions, the text of your question and parts of the sermon transcripts are sent to Anthropic (Claude) and Voyage AI. Neither receives your email address. Emails are sent through Google (Gmail). Recordings are stored in Dropbox, and the site runs on Fly.io and Neon.

Your choices

• You can unlink Alexa any time in the Alexa app (Skills & Games → Sermon Library → Disable Skill).
• Ask a church administrator to remove you from the member list. Your access to the website and Alexa stops right away. You can also ask us to delete your saved questions and feedback.
