PrayerChain ("we," "us," or "our") operates the PrayerChain mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.
Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect:
- Name — used to display your identity within the app
- Email address — used for account login and communication
- Password — stored as a secure hash; we never store your plain-text password
When you use the Service, we also store:
- Prayer requests and praises you choose to create and share
- Group membership information
- Prayer activity logs (dates you prayed for a request)
How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account
- To display your name and content within the community
- To send optional prayer reminders and notifications (only if you enable them)
- To improve and maintain the Service
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Prayer requests and praises marked as "public" or shared within a group are visible to other members of that community. Private requests are visible only to you.
Push Notifications
If you grant notification permissions, we may send you reminders related to prayer requests you have saved. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the address below.
Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use industry-standard HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
