Privacy & personalization

Your account and saved readings

Sign-in uses Lovable Cloud. Your account stores your email, optional display name, and bookmarked reading identifiers with their saved dates. Bookmarks and profiles are accessible only to their owner. Remove a bookmark from a devotional or your saved list in My Journey.

Guest onboarding answers stay in temporary memory. Finishing onboarding while signed in saves preferences to your private account. Signed-in readers can also choose “Save Account Settings” in My Account to save their current preferences and restore them on a later visit. You can update these details there. Your browser keeps a sign-in session until you sign out; signing out clears private readings from the page’s cache.

Your reading list and history

Your account keeps the devotionals you follow and the date you mark each one read. Only you can view and change this list. Unfollowing a devotional keeps its read date in your history; marking it unread removes that date. Progress reflects readings you marked read, not measured reading time. Sign-out clears the private list from the page’s cache.

Onboarding analytics

When you finish onboarding, we measure completion and your final fixed-choice everyday interests and reading time through Lovable analytics. Skipped interests are recorded as an empty list and skipped reading time as “not selected.” These events do not include your name, email, faith background, spiritual goals, life season, or reflection text. Analytics collection follows the hosting service’s consent and privacy controls.

Today, prayer, and journal analytics

We count opening the devotional from Today and successful creation, editing, and deletion of private prayer or journal entries. These custom events include only a fixed action label, not your words, titles, prayer categories, answered status, reading choices, entry identifiers, account details, or preferences. We do not track typing or draft content. Standard hosting analytics may associate events with a visit; these counts are not anonymous identities or measured devotional reading minutes. Collection follows the hosting service’s consent and privacy controls.

How readings are chosen

Sample recommendations compare your selected interests, spiritual goals, and reading time with tags on our small sample library. Your season and faith background are not used to infer traits or needs. No theological content is automatically generated or changed.

Private reflections

Private journal entries store your title, reflection, optional linked reading, and creation and update dates in Lovable Cloud. Only the signed-in owner can read, edit, or delete them through the app. Save explicitly; unfinished drafts are not saved. Journal entries are not shared publicly or included in custom analytics. Private reflections are not sent for AI reading suggestions. Your journal cache clears on sign-out. Hosting and operational processing policies still apply; this is not end-to-end encrypted storage. Personal-data export is not yet implemented; account and private-data deletion are available in My Account, and the full policy must be completed before public launch.

Your daily space and saved moments

Your private Today page stores one published devotional assignment per local calendar day, using your chosen time zone. Reading interests, goals, duration, and recent assignments help select readings; turning personalization off stops preference-based daily ranking. Your optional Bible translation preference does not change published quotations. Prayer requests, answered status, saved actions, and saved Scripture are private to your account. You can edit or delete prayers and remove saved actions or verses in My Journey. My Account provides confirmed deletion of private content and preferences, or your entire account. Reminders are unavailable until delivery is connected. None of these private records enters custom analytics or advertising.

Voluntary editorial journal submissions

You can explicitly consent to submit a copy of one saved journal entry’s title and words to Becoming Devoted editors. Your original journal remains owner-only. The copy is frozen at submission; later edits do not update it. Editors can approve or reject the copy, but approval does not publish it or send it to AI or analytics. You can withdraw the copy; deleting the original entry, private data, or account also removes it.

The Testimony Wall: optional public sharing

Adults can create a separate community display name and biography after accepting the guidelines. Members Only remains the default; Only Me posts remain owner-only. To appear publicly, a profile and each shared post or prayer need separate author consent, current text screening and human approval. Public profiles show only the community name and biography, never private account details or profile photos. Withdrawing public consent removes public visibility without deleting the saved original. Editing a profile or post resets approval and public consent.

Submitted shared text is sent to an AI provider for safety triage, followed by human review. Private journals, personal prayer originals, account contacts and onboarding preferences are never copied into the Wall or screened automatically. Application screening records contain only result metadata, not text copies; hosting and provider processing policies still apply. Public photos are disabled.

Prayer replies are private unless the sender separately opts into public sharing, the parent request remains public, and both sender identity and reply pass screening and human approval. Reports and appeals remain private to the submitter and moderators. Signed-in blocking and muting filter community views; public content may still be viewed while signed out. Moderator restriction and review audit metadata can remain for safety after shared content is removed. No response time or 24/7 review is promised.

The adult declaration validates a birth date but stores only eligibility and versioned consent, not the birth date. It is not identity verification. You can withdraw public sharing, remove individual content, delete community content, or clear account data in My Account. Notifications and public media are not enabled.

Our commitment

Private prayer requests and journal reflections must never be sold, shared automatically, or used for targeted advertising. Optional reminders will require your permission. A complete privacy policy, including hosting and analytics disclosures, must be reviewed before public launch.
