Privacy policy

Effective date: November 10, 2026

What Prayed is

Prayed is a private, invite-only prayer circle for people you choose. There is no public feed and no ads.

Your account

Prayed uses this iPhone's iCloud account. There is no Google login, email login, or separate Prayed password. If iCloud is off, Prayed cannot post or connect.

What we store

Depending on how you use Prayed, this can include:

• Your display name, username (if you allow search), photo, and profile details you enter
• Your posts (prayer requests and check-ins), who you shared them with, and whether a request is answered
• Prayer and reaction counts shown in the app
• Your circles and connections (Family, Friends, Close circle)
• Invites you send or receive
• People you mute or block (kept on your side; they are not told)
• Reports you send, including a copy of the reported text so we can review it
• Local reminder times and optional reminder messages you set on this phone
• Optional tip purchases (handled by Apple; we do not see your full payment card)

Prayer text can be personal. Treat what you write as something the people in that audience can see.

Where it lives (CloudKit / iCloud)

Prayed uses Apple's CloudKit and iCloud:

• Your posts and private circles live in your iCloud and in shares you invite people into. People you connect with can see what you share with them.
• Small public pieces (for example a username directory entry if you allow search, invite notes, and abuse reports) can live in the app's public CloudKit database so invites and moderation can work.
• Apple also processes iCloud data under Apple's privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/privacy/). We do not run our own separate server for Prayed's core features.

Who sees what

• Connections are mutual. Both people accept before anyone sees the other's posts. Opening an invite link or scanning a code never adds someone by itself.
• You pick the audience for each post: everyone in your circle, or only Close circle.
• The app shows counts only for who prayed or reacted (🙏 ❤️ 💪). The screen and notifications are written that way on purpose. Under the hood, a prayer tick still has to exist so the count can be added up; the app is built not to show names. A small future helper could tighten that further; today, trust the design and your circle.
• Mute turns off that person's notifications for you only. Their posts can still show. They are never told.
• Block hides their posts and ends the connection both ways. Unblock any time in Settings.
• Declined invites are meant to disappear quietly for the sender. If a device is offline, that can take a little time; invites also age out after about 7 days when the apps can enforce it.
• Delete a post and it should disappear for everyone who had it.
• Home Screen widgets can show request text for open items. Lock Screen widgets show a count and at most a first name, never the request text.
• We do not sell your prayers or your personal information. Supporting Prayed with an optional tip does not unlock features and does not change who sees your posts.

Reports and safety

You can Hide, Report, or Block from a post or profile. A report stores a copy of the content for review. We may remove content or stop an account that breaks the Terms. For help outside the app, use Contact.

Delete your account

In Settings → Delete account, you can delete your Prayed account. That removes your private circles and shares, your public Prayed records (such as a username entry and invite notes), and signs you out of Prayed on that account. It does not delete your Apple ID or iCloud account. Some copies may remain briefly in backups until they expire. After friends' devices sync, your posts should leave their feeds too.

Children

Prayed is for people 13 and older. Do not use it if you are under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we will update the date here and, when we can, note it in the app.
