Prayer is personal.
So is your privacy.

What we collect

When you sign in with Google or Apple, we store your account identifier, name, email address, and sign-in session. We do not receive your Google or Apple password. When you send a prayer, we store its title, message, submission time, and status. Any email or phone number you add to the request is optional.

Who can see your request

Your requests are visible to you and authorized Need4Prayer administrators. Administrators can also see your sign-in name and account email to manage accounts. Requests are not published on a public prayer wall.

Contact is your choice

You can leave contact details and give the team permission to contact you about a request. Adding them does not guarantee a reply. You can submit a prayer without providing additional contact details.

How we use and store information

We use this information to receive and manage prayers, maintain account access, enforce submission limits, and prevent abuse. The application is designed to run on Vercel with its private API and PostgreSQL database on the operator’s Ubuntu server, connected through Cloudflare. Google or Apple handles your sign-in. These providers process information under their own privacy terms.

Cookies and retention

We use essential session and sign-in security cookies. Requests remain stored until removed by the operator; there is no automatic deletion schedule. Administrator actions such as bans and status changes are recorded in a private audit log. To request removal of your information, contact the Need4Prayer operator through the channel where you found this service. A dedicated privacy contact will be provided before public launch.

A few boundaries

You may submit up to 10 requests per account each UTC day. Please share only information you are comfortable providing, and avoid sharing someone else’s identifying details without permission. This inbox is not monitored continuously and is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
