Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

My Prayer App is operated as an independent personal project by Deborah Torobi, based in the United Kingdom. The app is available on iOS and Android and via the web at myprayerapp.uk.

For questions about this policy, contact us at deb@myprayerapp.uk.

2. How data works in this app

My Prayer App has three distinct modes, each handling data differently:

3. What data we collect

Guest users (no account)

We collect no personal data. Everything stays on your device.

Signed-in users

• Email address (used to create and access your account)
• Password (stored in encrypted form — we cannot see your password)
• Prayer entries you create, including titles, descriptions, categories, and scripture references
• Prayer plan progress and streak data
• Testimonies you record
• Weekly prayer focus notes
• App settings and preferences

Intercede (anonymous prayer requests)

• The content of prayer requests you choose to post publicly
• These are intended to be anonymous — please do not include your name or identifying details in the request text
• Your account is linked to the post in our database, but your name or email is never displayed to other users

Automatically collected

• Basic usage data such as app version and device type, used only for technical troubleshooting
• We do not use advertising tracking, third-party analytics, or cookies for marketing purposes

4. Why we collect it

5. Where your data is stored

Signed-in user data is stored using Supabase, a secure cloud database platform. Data is stored on servers within the European Union in compliance with UK GDPR.

Supabase implements industry-standard security including encryption at rest and in transit. You can read more at supabase.com/security.

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with advertisers. We do not use your data to train AI models.

We use the following third-party services to operate the app:

• Supabase — database and authentication provider
• Vercel — app hosting platform

Both providers are bound by data processing agreements and comply with applicable data protection law. No other third parties receive your personal data.

7. Sensitive data — prayer content

Prayer content may constitute special category data under UK GDPR Article 9, as it can reveal religious beliefs. We treat all prayer content with the highest level of care.

• Prayer content is only ever accessible to you when signed in
• We do not read, analyse, or share your personal prayer entries
• Our staff do not access your prayer data except in exceptional circumstances to resolve a technical issue, and only with your permission
• You can delete all your data at any time (see Section 8)

8. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access — you can request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Right to deletion — you can delete your account and all associated data directly within the app, or by emailing us
• Right to rectification — you can update your information at any time within the app
• Right to portability — you can request an export of your data in a readable format
• Right to object — you can object to certain types of processing

To exercise any of these rights, email deb@myprayerapp.uk. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

9. Children

My Prayer App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify signed-in users by email.
