Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 27, 2026

PrayBreak™ (“PrayBreak,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Christian self-help and habit-formation app that helps men interrupt urges and build discipline through prayer, scripture, and action. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have.

PrayBreak is a non-medical, educational, and spiritual self-help application. It is not a healthcare service, medical device, therapy, or treatment program, and it does not create a doctor-patient or therapist-client relationship. Please also read our Terms & Conditions, which include important disclaimers.

By downloading, accessing, or using PrayBreak, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information You Provide

When you create an account or use the app, you may provide:

  • Account information — your email address and display name.
  • Faith and personalization preferences — goals, motivations, reminder settings, and religious or personalization choices you enter to tailor your experience.
  • Recovery activity — streaks, relapse logs, prayer and journal entries, triggers, and check-ins that you choose to record. You enter, edit, and delete this content, and we do not interpret it as a medical or psychological assessment.
  • Support communications — information you share when you contact us for help.
  • Website email list — if you enter your email address on our website to join the launch list, we collect that address. This happens on the website only. The app does not sign you up for marketing email, and joining the website list is entirely separate from any app account.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the app, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and technical data — device model, operating system, app version, general region, IP address, and crash or diagnostic logs.
  • Website analytics — when you visit our website, Vercel Web Analytics may process limited visit, page-performance, and technical information so we can understand and improve the site. We do not use your sensitive recovery data for advertising targeting.
  • Subscription information — RevenueCat may process a subscription-related identifier, purchase information, and subscription or entitlement status so we can provide paid access and restore purchases. Apple processes App Store payments.
  • Permissions you grant — such as push notifications. We do not access your contacts, microphone, camera, or precise location unless you explicitly grant permission for a specific feature.

3. Your Recovery Data Stays on Your Device

Your recovery activity — including your streaks, relapse logs, prayer and journal entries, triggers, check-ins, and in-app progress — is stored locally on your device. PrayBreak does not upload or store this recovery data on our servers or with a third-party cloud provider.

Because we do not receive or store your recovery data, we cannot sell it, use it for advertising, share it with data brokers, or read it as part of providing the app. This on-device approach does not apply to limited website, subscription, and purchase-related information handled by the providers described below.

4. Device Permissions and Screen Time Blocking

PrayBreak includes optional tools that help you block adult websites and distracting apps using Apple’s Screen Time and related device features. When you turn these tools on, your device asks for your permission through a system prompt, and you may grant or decline it.

Some blocking — such as restricting adult websites — must be set up manually by you, following the step-by-step instructions we provide, because it is configured inside your own device settings.

When you use these features, PrayBreak applies the restrictions you choose. We do not monitor, collect, or store your browsing history, the specific websites you visit, the apps you open, or how you use your device outside of PrayBreak. You can change or remove these permissions at any time in your device settings.

5. Payment Information

Purchases and subscriptions are processed by the Apple App Store. RevenueCat helps us manage subscription access, purchase restoration, and entitlement status. PrayBreak does not collect or store your full payment card numbers or Apple payment credentials. Your transaction is governed by Apple’s own terms and privacy policy.

6. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and secure your account and the app’s features.
  • Generate your personal progress, streaks, and reminders.
  • Respond to support requests and communicate important service updates.
  • Improve app performance, reliability, and content.
  • Process subscriptions and detect fraud or abuse.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

7. Your Recovery Data Is Sensitive — And Private By Design

We treat your recovery activity, journal and prayer entries, and personal logs as sensitive. They stay on your device and are never sold, used for advertising or profiling, or shared with data brokers.

PrayBreak is private by design: there is no public feed, no social accountability wall, and no audience for your struggle. Your battles stay between you and God.

8. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract — to provide the app and your account.
  • Legitimate interests — to secure the app and prevent fraud and abuse.
  • Consent — for optional features and permissions, and for website marketing emails, which you may withdraw at any time by unsubscribing or adjusting the setting.
  • Legal obligation — to comply with applicable law.

9. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in limited circumstances:

  • Cloudflare — provides website security, DNS, traffic routing, and performance services. Cloudflare may process technical request data such as IP address and traffic-routing information when you visit our website.
  • Vercel — hosts and delivers our website and provides Vercel Web Analytics. Vercel may process website requests and limited visit, technical, and performance information to operate and improve the site.
  • Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — provides the email list for our website. If you join the launch list on our website, Kit processes your email address, subscription status, and email engagement data on our behalf so we can send you launch updates. Kit is used for the website email list only; it is not used inside the app.
  • RevenueCat — provides subscription-management services. RevenueCat may process a subscription-related identifier and purchase, entitlement, and subscription-status information so we can provide paid access and restore purchases.
  • Other service providers — if we add a provider that handles hosting, support, security, or diagnostics, we will require it to protect the data and use it only to provide its services to us.
  • Legal and safety — when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users, the public, or PrayBreak.
  • Business transfers — if PrayBreak is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred, subject to this Policy or notice of any change.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the app, maintain your account, and meet legal, financial, or audit obligations. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal data except where we are required or permitted by law to retain it. Anonymized or aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained.

11. Data Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure infrastructure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will investigate and notify you where required by applicable law.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR/UK GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate information.
  • Delete your information, subject to legal retention.
  • Export a copy of your information.
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent and opt out of non-essential communications.

13. How to Exercise Your Rights

You can manage much of your information directly in the app. To make a rights request, contact us at support@praybreak.app. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, generally within 30 to 45 days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

14. Account and Data Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from within the app’s settings, or by contacting us at support@praybreak.app. Deleting your account removes your personal data except for information we must retain for legal, security, or audit purposes, and any anonymized or aggregated data.

15. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and measure app performance. We do not use your sensitive recovery data for advertising targeting.

16. Aggregated and De-Identified Data

We may create and retain aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. We may use this information for analytics, product development, and research, and we maintain and use it in de-identified form.

17. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than the one in which you live, including the United States. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your information when it is transferred internationally.

18. Age Requirements

PrayBreak addresses mature themes related to pornography and sexual temptation and is intended for users 13 years of age and older, consistent with our Terms & Conditions. PrayBreak is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your region), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

19. Third-Party Links and Services

The app may reference or link to third-party services that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

20. 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, by email, or by posting a notice. Your continued use of PrayBreak after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
