4. How your content is visible

The visibility of information depends on how you use PrayerApp.

Public community content

Prayer requests, testimonies, comments and profile information may be visible to other authenticated PrayerApp users according to the features and privacy settings available at the time.

Before sharing content, consider that other users may:

  • Read it.
  • Respond to it.
  • Interact with it.
  • Share it using available PrayerApp features.

Do not share information you do not want other members of the community to see.

Direct messages

Direct messages are intended for communication between the participants in a conversation.

Other users cannot ordinarily view your direct messages unless they are participants in the conversation.

However, PrayerApp may access or review messages when reasonably necessary to:

  • Investigate a report.
  • Enforce our policies.
  • Detect or prevent abuse.
  • Protect users.
  • Maintain security.
  • Comply with applicable law.

Direct messages should not be treated as an anonymous or completely inaccessible communication channel.

5. Sensitive and personal information

PrayerApp is designed around prayer and personal testimony.

We recognise that users may voluntarily share sensitive information.

We do not require users to disclose sensitive personal information in order to use the core Service.

You should avoid posting sensitive information unless you are comfortable sharing it with the intended audience.

Do not share:

  • Passwords.
  • Banking credentials.
  • Government identification numbers.
  • Highly sensitive financial information.
  • Another person's private information without permission.

If you include sensitive information in a public prayer or testimony, other users may be able to see that information.

PrayerApp may use automated systems and artificial intelligence to help operate and protect the Service.

These systems may assist with:

  • Detecting spam.
  • Identifying prohibited images.
  • Identifying suspicious links.
  • Detecting potential scams.
  • Identifying potential policy violations.
  • Prioritising safety reports.
  • Detecting unusual or abusive activity patterns.

Automated systems may process relevant content or technical information necessary to perform these functions.

We do not use artificial intelligence to determine whether a person's faith, prayer, prophecy or theological belief is true or valid.

Where appropriate, significant moderation decisions may involve additional review.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.

We may share information in limited circumstances.

Depending on your location, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to:

  • Access your personal information.
  • Correct inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion.
  • Object to certain processing.

11. Children and young people

PrayerApp is not intended for users below the minimum age specified in our Terms of Use.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are not legally permitted to use the Service.

If we learn that an account belongs to an underage user in violation of applicable requirements, we may take steps to remove the account and associated information.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided information to PrayerApp inappropriately may contact us.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information.

These measures may include:

  • Encryption.
  • Secure authentication.
  • Access controls.
  • Monitoring.
  • Security logging.

  • Provider security controls.

However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and using appropriate security measures on your devices.

13. International users and data transfers

PrayerApp may operate across multiple countries.

Your information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live.

These countries may have different data protection laws.

Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

14. Third-party links and services

PrayerApp may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties that we do not control.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make significant changes, we may notify you through:

17. Summary of our privacy commitment

PrayerApp is built around deeply personal human experiences.

We recognise that a prayer request can reveal more about a person than an ordinary social media post.

Our approach is therefore guided by the following principles:

  • Collect only what we reasonably need.
  • Give users control over what they share.
  • Protect private conversations.
  • Do not sell personal information to advertisers.
  • Do not use private prayers or messages for advertising profiling.
  • Use safety technology responsibly.
  • Protect users from exploitation.
  • Be transparent about how information is handled.

We want PrayerApp to be a place where people feel safe enough to share what is on their hearts.

PrayerApp — Pray. Connect. Believe.
