Included in the below: Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions of use, EULA

Your privacy is very important to us at YouDiscoverTruth (YDT), our app, GODcha, godcha.org, ydt.youdiscovertruth.com, god-cha.com, and any private branded app we may create. The following privacy policy covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices.

YouDiscoverTruth’s COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. When you subscribe to our app and/or services, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.

To better protect your personal information we provide this notice explaining YDT online information practices. It applies to all information you submit, such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and credit card number. We use the information you provide when you Donate, and when assisting with support issues. We may also contact you from time to time with product updates, push notifications and other information that we think may be of interest to you. We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising, although again, we do not disclose personal information to any outside parties in this regard.

The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on YDT’s latest product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. It also helps us to improve our services, content, and advertising. If you don't want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime by following the unsubscribe directions in email correspondence that you receive from us. From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with YDT you may not opt out of receiving these communications. You can review information about you that we have collected online and maintain by writing us at contact@youdiscovertruth.com. To better safeguard your information, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

We also collect non-personal information & data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual (e.g. church/ministry position, area code, zip code, unique device identifier, time zone, etc.). We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. However, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, then the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

Please note that whenever you submit any information to us in connection with any YDT related services, you consent to YDT’s processing of this information in the United States as necessary to provide the services in which you are participating. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

ONLINE PRIVACY AND CREDIT CARD PROTECTION POLICY

At YDT, we want you to feel safe and secure when you provide us with your personal information online. For this reason, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your credit card and other sensitive information when you make product purchases or request technical assistance. The process of encryption minimizes the possibility of unauthorized individuals from viewing your information as it is securely transmitted over the Internet. Once received, your credit card information is not transmitted over the Internet again. However, even with such protection policies and safeguard procedures in place, there is always the possibility of fraud occurring. If you believe unauthorized disclosure or use of your credit information has occurred, please follow the reporting procedures defined by your credit card's issuing bank and contact us immediately. Most credit card companies cover all charges that result form unauthorized use of your credit card or may limit your liability to a small dollar amount.

DATA SECURITY AND YOUR USE

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and internal operational procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

YDT takes precautions including administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

However, when you use some YDT products, services, or applications or post on an YDT forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.

COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

YDT’s websites, apps, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use 'cookies' and other technologies. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our offerings people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of what YDT offers and does. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

YDT’s licensees and our partners also may use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our websites, apps, online services, and applications. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with YDT more convenient and personal. Knowing your contact information, product serial numbers, and information about your computer or device helps us register your products, personalize your operating system, set up your services, and provide you with better experience. Our goal is for you to discover truth for yourself, period.

As is true of most websites and apps, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider, referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. YDT may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.

THIRD PARTIES

YDT websites, apps, products, applications, and services may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. Our products and services may also use or offer products or services from third parties. Information collected by third parties, which may include such things as location data or contact details, is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

On some rare circumstances, it may be necessary by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence for YDT to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

To make sure your personal information is secure, we communicate our privacy and security guidelines to YDT employees, strategic partners, product providers and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the company.

YDT may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. When we change the policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our websites along with the updated Privacy Policy.

Please understand that if you utilize YDT’s websites or services, then it is highly recommended that you review our ‘Terms of Service’ (below), and that if you utilize YDT’s apps, then it is highly recommended that you review our ‘End User License and/or Subscription’ (below), which both shall take precedence over any conflict of terms that may be referenced herein.

    Congratulations! You are about to begin the most amazing journey of your life, discovering Truth and engaging with God yourself! The rewards are eternal. Whether you have 3 minutes, 3 hours or 3 weeks to discover a particular Truth, GODcha will help you get to the main ideas quickly.

    Navigation: Standard mobile and desktop features apply. The top tool bar has dropdowns on both the left side and right side. Left side; Main App Menu include all your personal settings, Bible Translation selection and Book and Chapter selection
Right side; Forward/Backward arrows and Discovery Help Both the Bible Guide and the Discovery Section navigate with red up and down arrows Remember, touching anything in color gives you more information. GODcha has incredible resources, take your time and get familiar with where they are all at.

The Discovery Section is below. The order of these components has been designed to help you follow a simple process to engage with God. Doing so will bring you more clarity.

    Overview: Gives you a ‘snapshot’ of the particulars of the book you are reading. Touching 'more' gives you some specific details. The overview is a great resource to start with and use as a reminder and reference along your Discovery journey. Or any time you are reading God’s Word.

    Segment: You will see the Book and Chapter(s) in bold. They let you know the 'Segment' of the book you are reading. A segment is a group of paragraphs/chapter(s) that represent a unit of thought, having a common theme or a common event(s). A segment may be longer or shorter than a chapter. Segment discovery helps you understand the book in smaller bites. The Look, Learn and Live navigation that follows relates specifically, and only, to the 'Segment' you are reading.

    Prayer: BEFORE you begin your discovery it is critical that you ask God, by His Spirit for help. Jesus promised that God would send the Helper (the Holy Spirit) to teach you all things But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you (John 14:26). SO, every time you begin your discovery ASK for His help in opening your mind to understand the Scriptures Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45). Continue and complete your time of 'Discovery' with an attitude of constant prayer. Your Creator has designed you to commune with Him, vow to do your part and He will show you amazing things.

    Look: The main question when 'looking' at Scripture is: what does it "say"? The look section helps you to 'see' the details of the passage. Most of your time (up to to 80%) must be spent here. Observing the text is the basis for accurate learning and living. It is the foundation for your discovery so please invest your time, you'll be glad you did! Just use the words of the text, they have never been proven wrong. On the other hand, man’s words may not be right, including yours. Each navigation button in the Look section is a designed action to help you 'see' what the Scripture 'says.’ Touching them while in the application will tell you what the action entails. Using these specific actions will help you find and ‘see’ some of the main facts, details and ideas quickly. A more specific understanding of the actions of each of the Look navigation buttons is below.

    Learn: Learn questions help you discover a deeper understanding of what the Word of God "means." After you have spent time looking at scripture, it's time to ask a few questions. Many times you will need to go back to the Look step to make sure you have the facts and are not assuming. Remember, God made the text clear for you, assumptions are dangerous, be sure to get the facts from the text, not what you think! Your learn answers should be according to the actual scripture verse(s) that you have looked at. Using God's words will help keep you on His path of discovery! Take your time on these questions; they will help you get at the meaning of the text. Learn questions are the middle link to your discovery; don’t leave them out.

As you 'Learn' there are some good tips to keep in mind:

Prophecy: Almost half of the Old Testament books are prophecy books. The Greek word for prophecy, propheteia, comes from two Greek words: pro, meaning "forth," and phemi, meaning "to speak." So, prophecy means to speak forth. Since the Bible is God's Word we could say that all Scripture is prophecy, speaking forth the mind and counsel of God. From Genesis to Revelation God speaks forth. Awesome! There are two types of prophecy that scholars have identified that are important to understand:
a) Forthtelling - is a message about the present or immediate time
b) Foretelling - is a message about what God will do in the future
Keep these in mind as you discover Truth in the 'Learn' section. Remember, the Bible doesn't give you specific things that will happen in your life, but it does give us the big picture on what we can expect if we follow Him or choose to go our own way.
Context is critical. Consider each verse in the light of the surrounding verses, the chapter you are in, the book, and the entire Word of God. The question is; am I learning what the scripture says about the subject? Discover what the author is saying, not what you or others think; do not add to His meaning, the surrounding verses will support the message, and make sure you stick with what Scripture says.
Always seek the full counsel of the Word of God. Just taking a few verses is dangerous; they could be used out of context of other scriptures overlooked or ignored that would have led to a different understanding. Read it all, verse, chapter, book and Bible.
Scripture will never contradict Scripture. It is God breathed and will never contradict itself. Sometimes, however, you may find it difficult to reconcile two seemingly contradictory truths taught in Scripture, such as the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man. Don't take a teaching to an extreme that God doesn't. Simply humble your heart in faith and believe what God says, even if you can't fully understand or reconcile it at the moment. If you ask the Holy Spirit to help you He will! The Holy Spirit is your Teacher.
Keep the main thing the 'main thing'. Unless the author indicates that there is another meaning to what he says, stick with what he says, and use the 'full counsel' of God's Word.
Don't base your discovery on an obscure passage of scripture. An obscure passage is one in which the meaning is not easily understood. Because they are difficult to understand they should not be used as a basis for solely establishing a Truth.

Live: What you've looked at and learned is now invaluable to you for "applying" the Truth and "living it out" in your life! Your investment pays off here! Consider the Live questions as you arrive at the most important level; 'living out' what you've learned. If your not sure about your answer to the question, you may need to go back to the learn question, or even the look help to understand and hear what the LORD is saying specifically to you. All of the Discovery components work together for your application. The more you practice and embrace them all, the greater your rewards. Remember, the Holy Spirit is your teacher! Once you understand what the Word of God teaches, you are then obligated before God to accept that truth and to live it out. Your value comes in the application. Be diligent in your Discover and be encouraged, He will change your life!

LOOK Navigation Button's

Read with a questioning mindset using "5 W's and an H" - Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Ask these questions, always. Don't skip them. They are critical! Doing so will uncover things you didn't see before. Expect to be amazed! For example: Who - who's the main character(s), What - is the main subject/theme, when - is this taking place, Where - geographic location, Why - is what's being said, said, How - how did it happen

Key words and phrases emphasize meaning. Words, and synonyms (e.g. wicked and evil) and/or phrases that are repeated in a portion of Scripture are there to reinforce a point. We've identified some key words for you, but don't take our word for it, hunt for them yourself. You'll be glad you did.

Word Definitions help understanding. Don't kid yourself; you might not know what a word really means. The only way you will know for yourself is to look it up for yourself. There is no room for assumptions, preconceived notions, or quick sound bites from the past. Look it up!

Lists help reveal principles, truths, concepts and sometimes the order of things. Consider the 5 W's and an H to help you make a list of facts (e.g. of God: Who is He talking to, what is God telling me about Himself, His character and/or His ways, what is He doing, when is He doing it, where is He doing it, why is He doing it, how is He doing it). Check it over, you just might add to your list.

Contexts are phrases, sentences, or chapters surrounding what you are reading. Context helps you fully understand, confirm and compliment the meaning. Context is critical for accurate interpretation. Scripture never contradicts Scripture.

Contrasts are differences or opposites indicated with the words 'but', 'however', or 'nevertheless' (e.g. light vs. darkness, heaven vs. hell).

Comparisons refer to things that are similar or alike indicated with words 'like', or 'as'. They give added meaning.

Terms of conclusion are words like 'therefore', 'thus' and 'for this reason', they are 'there' to indicate and inform us that a conclusion (or summary) is being made. This is a great place to stop, and review. You may have to backtrack, but be encouraged, the author of what you are reading just did!

Time references are important. They are words or phrases that reveal the time or sequence of events that answer the question of 'when'. They are indicated by: 'then', 'after this', 'until' and 'when'. Hint: look for 'days', 'weeks', and 'years' also to help you identify the time.

Cross References other Scripture(s) in the Bible that have/share the same ideas. Cross-references help you clarify and understand the scripture you are reading. The best way to learn Scripture is to let Scripture interpret Scripture. Looking for more cross-references on your own will enhance your discovery. All Scripture is inspired by God, it is God breathed, and it all goes together. The Bible is one revelation without contradiction, it never contradicts itself; it is impossible!

Summarize the chapter/segment/book using a word or two summarizing what you have discovered. It will help you remember it. Using God's words from the text will help you stay on track. The fewer the words the better the memorization. Congratulations! You have shown yourself approved in studying God's Word. Well done good and faithful servant.
