Privacy

Administrators of the prayer hub can see every request. Other members of the prayer team can only see the requests they have been assigned to.

If you create a requester account, signing in lets you read only the requests attached to that account. Your username is never shown on the prayer wall.

Contact details are kept separately from the request itself and are encrypted. Only an administrator can view them, and every viewing is recorded in an audit log that the church can inspect.

We do not publish your request or testimony anywhere unless you separately ask us to and an administrator approves that specific wording.

We do not put the content of your request into notifications. If someone on the team gets a message on their phone, it says a request is waiting — never what it says. If you choose email updates, Gmail receives your email address and a generic update such as “someone prayed for you,” but never your prayer or private tracking link. A short-lived link can verify the address or open a minimal list of your requests, and every update includes a way to stop emails for that request.

If an account volunteers as a prayer partner, a device may receive a content-free alert when another request is published on the prayer wall. The alert opens the wall, not anyone’s private request.

We do not use advertising trackers or analytics that follow you, and we do not send your prayer request to any outside service.

We do not store your IP address. We store a one-way hash used only to limit spam.

If you tick the sharing box, your request goes on our public prayer wall in the words you wrote, as soon as you send it. Nobody edits it first, so please write it as you want strangers to read it and keep phone numbers and addresses out of the prayer itself. You can take it down at any time from your private request page, and an administrator can remove anything that breaks our rules.

A testimony you add from your private request page stays private by default. You may separately permit anonymous sharing, and that one still waits for an administrator to review and approve it. Requester testimonies are never published with a name.

Your contact details are never shown. Your name appears only if you gave one and an administrator chose to include it — if you submitted anonymously, it cannot be added.

You can change your mind from your private link or signed-in request page at any time. Taking it back removes a request or testimony from the wall immediately, without anyone having to act on your message.

Visitors may press “I prayed” on an approved prayer request. We display only the total. We do not publish who prayed, a profile, or a comment; short-lived one-way counters are used only to prevent repeated clicks.

Requests sent while signed in are attached to your account and appear in My Requests. Your optional recovery email is encrypted and used only to confirm the address or reset a forgotten password.

A guest receives a private link instead. We store a one-way hash, not the link itself. Anyone who has it can read that request, so keep it private. If you later sign in, you can use the link once to add the request to your account; that guest link then stops working.

Your private page may ask whether the platform was easy to use and whether you felt supported. These are two structured choices only. We do not collect a written comment, name, contact value, or prayer text with this feedback.

Requests are kept until somebody at the church deletes them. There is no automatic schedule at the moment.

Your contact details are kept for as long as the request is, and are erased if you ask.

You can ask for your request to be deleted at any time. Contact the church with your reference number.
