Privacy policy

Last updated November 11, 2026

Praiseful is made by Tezeye LLC (“we”). This policy says what Praiseful collects, why, who else handles it, and how you can see or delete it. Prayers and testimonies are among the most personal things a person writes, and we treat them that way: we never sell your information, never show ads, and never use what you write to profile you.

What we collect

• Your account. Your email address, and your name or picture if Apple or Google include them when you sign in with them. When you sign in by email we send you a six-digit code. Each signed-in device has a session, kept with its IP address and the kind of device and browser it is. We also keep when you joined and that you told us you are 13 or older; we never ask for your birth date.
• What you write and make. Verse bundles, notes and journal entries, prayers and whether they were answered, testimonies and their pages, slides, songs and playlists you add, Scripture Pastor P found for you, your community page if you turn it on, church screens you set up, and your credits and XP.
• Pictures and voice. Photos you add to a testimony or your page, pictures Pastor P draws for you, and spoken versions of your slides. Photos are made smaller on your phone, and we remove their location and camera details before we keep them.
• Invites. When you invite someone to an event, we keep the event’s name and time. When they answer on the invite page, we keep the name and the phone number or email address they type, and their answer, for you to see.
• Reports and blocks. If you report a testimony or block a member, we keep the report or block.

We don’t use analytics or advertising tools, and our logs record counts and lengths, never your words.

What stays on your phone

• Your calendar events and their alerts. Alerts are set on your phone, not sent by us.
• Drafts and notes you haven’t sent yet, your reading place and your sign-in, which is kept in your phone’s secure storage.
• Your voice, on iOS 26 and later: Praiseful writes down what you say on the phone itself. On earlier versions of iOS, the recording is sent through our server to ElevenLabs (below) to be written down; we don’t keep the recording.

Who else handles it

We use these services to run Praiseful. Each gets only what it needs for its part:

• Railway runs our servers and database, where your account and what you write are kept.
• Backblaze B2 stores your photos, drawn pictures and voice files.
• OpenRouter passes your words to an AI model when you ask Pastor P for something: when you tell or tidy a testimony or a note, find Scripture for a prayer or journal entry, ask about what is on the screen, get encouragement for an event (its name and note), draw a picture, or tag the songs of a playlist. Nothing is sent unless you ask, and no one trains a model on it: for writing, we ask OpenRouter to use only model providers that don’t collect what they receive, and pictures are drawn only by Google’s Vertex AI, which keeps a request only if its safety checks flag it, for up to 90 days.
• ElevenLabs turns slides and Pastor P’s lines into speech, and writes down recordings on iOS before version 26.
• Resend sends the email with your sign-in code.
• Apple and Google, if you sign in with them, confirm who you are and give us your email address. Apple may give us a private relay address instead.
• YouTube plays the songs in the app. When you add a song or playlist, we read its titles from YouTube; a song you play is loaded from YouTube under Google’s privacy policy.

We don’t sell or rent your information, and we share it with no one else unless the law requires it.

What other people can see

• Everything you write is private unless you choose otherwise.
• A testimony you share is seen by other members, or by anyone if you make it public, signed “A member” or with the name you choose. Before others see it, it is reviewed.
• Your community page is off until you turn it on. If you are 18 or older, it can show a photo, your church and city, and you can give it a public link.
• An invite’s answers go only to the person who sent it.
• A church screen shows what you put on it, to anyone who can see the screen.

How long we keep it

We keep what you write until you delete it or delete your account. An invite for a single event is removed about 90 days after the event. Sign-in codes last 10 minutes, and a device stays signed in for 30 days unless you sign out.

Your choices

• See it: on the Me screen you can export a copy of your account, how you sign in, everything you have written and added, and your photos and pictures, as one file.
• Delete your account: on the Me screen. It deletes your account, everything you wrote, your sign-ins and your files, at once and for good.
• Anything else: email us, and we’ll answer, including requests to see, correct or delete your information under the laws where you live.

Children

Praiseful is for people 13 and older. If someone tells us they are younger, we delete their sign-in straight away. Members aged 13 to 17 can’t show a photo, church or city, or give their page a public link.

Keeping it safe

Everything between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit. Access to our servers is limited to the few people who run Praiseful, who look at a shared testimony or page photo to review it and don’t read your private writing.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change affects what we do with what you’ve already written, we’ll tell you before it takes effect.
