Privacy Policy

The Consecrated Life ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our mobile and web application.

1. Introduction

The Consecrated Life is a private, faith-based discipleship platform. We believe that your personal journey is sacred and deserves the highest standard of protection. This policy outlines what information we gather, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

2. Information We Collect

• Your name and email address (used for account creation and authentication)
• Subscription payment information (processed by Stripe — we do not store payment card data on our servers)
• Voluntary journal entries, prayer logs, and reflection responses that you choose to write
• Progress and usage data, such as days completed and streak counts
• Accountability partner connections that you initiate and manage

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect to:

• Deliver and improve the app experience
• Process subscription payments through our payment provider
• Send optional notifications and email summaries (only with your explicit consent)
• Facilitate accountability partner connections that you choose to establish

4. Data Privacy & Security

Your journal entries, prayer logs, and personal reflections are private to your account only. We use enterprise-grade security infrastructure (via our backend provider) with encryption in transit and at rest. We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising purposes.

5. Sensitive Content Notice

We understand the highly personal nature of the content you engage with in this app. All personal entries, reflections, and responses are treated with the highest standard of privacy and confidentiality. This is not a social network — your journey is yours alone unless you explicitly choose to share it.

6. Accountability Partner Data

If you choose to connect an accountability partner, only the information you explicitly choose to share (such as check-in summaries) will be visible to that partner. Your journal entries, prayer logs, and personal reflections remain completely private and are never shared automatically.

7. Cookies & Analytics

We use minimal analytics to improve app performance and stability. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that follow you across the web.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request deletion of your account and all associated data
• Export your journal entries at any time
• Update or correct your personal information through the Settings page
• Withdraw consent for email communications at any time

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. Your continued use of the app after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
