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.

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We do not publish your request or testimony anywhere unless you separately ask us to and an administrator approves that specific wording.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

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 may appear on our public prayer wall. Two things have to happen first: you have to ask for it, and an administrator has to read and approve the exact wording. They may shorten it, or decide not to share it at all.

A testimony you add from your private link stays private by default. You may separately permit anonymous sharing, but it 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 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 We do not publish who prayed, a profile, or a comment; short-lived one-way counters are used only to prevent repeated clicks.

The link shown after you submit is the key to your request. We store a one-way hash, not the link itself, so we cannot send the old link back. If you confirmed a recovery email, you can prove control of that inbox and open a 15-minute list showing only references, dates, and statuses. You can create a fresh private link for any item; the previous link for that request stops working immediately.

Anyone who has the link can read the request, so keep it to yourself. You can ask us to cancel a link at any time.

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.
