Privacy Policy

• Contact details — your email address or mobile number, and whether it has been verified.
• Account details — your username, display name, and password (stored only as a secure hash, never in readable form).
• Profile details — country, city, time zone, preferred prayer language, and an optional spiritual tradition.
• Prayer content — the title and text of prayers you submit, their category, privacy level, and preferred timing.
• Prayer activity — which prayers you accept, complete, and any outcome you choose to record.
• Token, payment and donation records — your Token balance and an append-only ledger of every movement.
• Device and browser data — IP address, browser and device information.
• Security logs — verification attempts, sign-in activity, rate-limiting and CAPTCHA outcomes, and moderation actions.

• Creating your account and verifying your email or mobile number
• Matching prayers between Seekers and Reciters, and confirming a synchronized prayer time in each person’s local zone
• Safety, moderation, and preventing abuse, fraud, spam, and automated signups
• Maintaining the Token ledger accurately
• Processing payments and donations, once those features are enabled
• Responding to your support requests
• Meeting our legal obligations

Prayers are written by you. Because a prayer may reveal deeply personal circumstances — health, family, bereavement, finances — and because your spiritual tradition may be treated as sensitive personal data in some countries, we ask you to share only what you are comfortable sharing with the circle.

Recording a spiritual tradition is optional. You may choose how a prayer appears — public, anonymous, or within a private circle — and your identity is not shown to others unless you choose it.

To offer your prayer to reciters who use other Prayer Languages, PRAEORA may translate it automatically using Google Cloud Translation. We send the prayer’s title and text, the code of its original language and the code of the language it is translated into. Translations are labelled, may contain inaccuracies or lose nuance, and the original prayer always remains available.

Prayers are screened automatically for safety before they are shared, and again if members report them. For this screening PRAEORA uses OpenAI: we send the prayer’s title and text, the category chosen for it and its language, together with the result of PRAEORA’s own automated pre-check. When a reported prayer is screened, the report itself is not sent.

We do not add your name, username, contact details or account details to what we send to either provider — although a prayer’s own text includes whatever you wrote in it.

Automated screening can make mistakes. Prayers it cannot clearly assess are held for review by a PRAEORA moderator, and if you think a moderation decision about your prayer is wrong, you can ask us to review it by emailing hello@praeora.com.

We send the information described above to these providers so they can provide translation and safety-screening services to PRAEORA. Information may be processed in countries where those providers operate.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run PRAEORA, and only as far as needed — our hosting and database provider (Supabase), email delivery (Amazon SES), bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile), machine translation (Google Cloud Translation), automated safety screening (OpenAI), and (once enabled) SMS delivery providers and payment gateways.

Payments and donations will be handled by third-party payment gateway providers. Card and banking details are processed by those providers under their own terms; PRAEORA does not store full payment credentials.

We may also disclose information where required by law, or to protect the safety of a person or the public.

PRAEORA uses only the cookies it needs to work: a sign-in cookie that keeps you logged in, and a preference cookie that remembers your App Language. Sign-up, sign-in, account-recovery and contact forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to block automated abuse. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

You may ask us to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date
• Delete your account and associated personal data

To make a request, email hello@praeora.com from your registered address, or see Account Deletion. Some records — such as the append-only Token ledger and safety logs — may be retained where we are legally required to keep them, in which case they are dissociated from your profile wherever possible.
