This policy describes intended practices for My Prayer Garden, which is still in development. It must be reviewed against the final iOS build and updated before public release.
Personalization without an account
The app is designed to let you choose a profile name that personalizes your Prayer Garden, Prayer Journal, and Testimony Journal. No email address or account registration is planned.
Prayers and testimonies
Your prayer requests, prayer histories, journal reflections, answered prayers, and blessings are intended to be stored locally on your device. They are not intended to be transmitted to A Closer Walk Ministries or to an AI service.
Advertising and tracking
No third-party advertising, analytics tracking, or behavioral profiling is planned for the app.
Device backups and export
Locally stored content may be included in device backups depending on your device settings. Deleting the app may remove locally stored content. Optional secure backup and export features are planned; their exact behavior will be documented when implemented.
Optional device permissions
Any optional features requiring device permissions, such as notifications or photo access, will be described and requested only when needed. These features are not required for the basic prayer journal.
Apple services
Apple may process App Store purchases and certain diagnostics under its own privacy policies. These processes are separate from the app's locally stored prayer content.
Changes to this policy
We will review and update this page if the application's features or information-handling practices change.
