01 — About
Who We Are
PrayScroll is a prayer-gated app blocker for iOS and Android. We help you replace screen time with prayer time through guided daily journeys, community prayer, and AI-assisted intercessory prayer generation. PrayScroll is operated as an independent digital product. For any privacy matters, contact us at support@prayscroll.app.
This policy describes what information the app collects, how it is used, and what rights you have. If you have any doubt about what we do with data, the answer is nearly always: we don't collect it in the first place.
02 — Data
What Data We Collect
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any identifying information. Here is a complete picture of what is stored:
| Data Type | What It Is | Collected? |
|---|---|---|
| Name or Email | Any personal identifier | Never |
| Anonymous User ID | A random UUID generated on first install to link your prayers and streaks | Yes |
| Prayer content | Prayers you save or generate within the app (stored locally and in Supabase linked to your anonymous ID) | Yes |
| Community prayer requests | Optional first name + city you choose to share publicly on the Prayer Wall | Optional |
| Journey progress & streaks | Which 30-day journey track you are on and how far you have gone | Yes |
| App usage / session recordings | Screen interactions (taps, swipes, screen views) recorded via Microsoft Clarity to help us understand and fix onboarding friction. Sensitive fields (like the community wall's optional name/city inputs) are masked automatically and never captured. | Yes |
| Install & attribution data | Which channel led to your install, via AppsFlyer. Does not include screen content or in-app behaviour. | Yes |
| Advertising identifier (IDFA / GAID) | Used only for install attribution via AppsFlyer. On iOS, only collected if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission. | Only with consent (iOS) / Yes (Android) |
| Device model / OS version | Basic device and OS info used by Clarity and AppsFlyer for compatibility and fraud prevention — not used to build an individual profile of you across other apps or sites | Yes |
| Push notification token | A device identifier used only to deliver notifications, linked to your anonymous ID | Only if notifications enabled |
| Location data | GPS or precise location | Never |
| Screen content | What you type or view on your phone screen | Never |
Short version: PrayScroll stores a random anonymous ID, your in-app prayer activity, and your journey progress — plus anonymised screen-interaction recordings and install-attribution data used to improve the app (see Analytics & Attribution below). We still do not collect your name, email, or any identifying information, and we never will.
03 — Authentication
Anonymous Authentication Only
PrayScroll uses anonymous authentication exclusively. When you open the app for the first time, Supabase generates a random user ID on your device. No email, password, or social login is ever requested or accepted.
This means we have no way to link your app activity to a real-world identity — and that is by design. Your prayers belong to you and to God.
No Account Required
You never create a username, password, or profile. The app works immediately on first launch.
Random ID Only
A UUID is generated locally to remember your streaks and journey progress. It cannot be traced back to you.
No Cross-App Tracking
Your anonymous ID is never shared, sold, or combined with data from other apps or services.
04 — Community
Prayer Wall & Community Requests
PrayScroll includes a community prayer wall where users can share prayer requests for others to pray over. Participation in the prayer wall is entirely optional.
- If you submit a prayer request to the wall, you may optionally provide a first name and a city. Neither is required.
- Prayer requests you submit to the wall are visible to other PrayScroll users.
- Do not include sensitive personal information, health details, or identifying information in prayer requests submitted to the public wall.
- Prayer requests are linked only to your anonymous user ID. No personally identifiable information appears in our database.
- You can delete your wall submissions at any time from within the app, or by deleting the app (see Data Deletion below).
Prayer requests generated privately using the AI prayer feature are stored only in your anonymous account and are never displayed to other users.
05 — Permissions
App Blocking Permissions
To function as an app blocker, PrayScroll requires a system-level permission on each platform. These are sensitive permissions, and we want to be completely transparent about how we use them. On both platforms, the blocking works entirely on your device and no data about your app usage or screen content is ever collected or transmitted.
On iOS, PrayScroll uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity). You choose which of your own apps to block using Apple's standard app picker (FamilyActivityPicker). The list of apps you select is handled by iOS on your device and is never transmitted to us, stored on our servers, or shared with anyone — Apple's framework is designed so that even we cannot see which apps you block.
On Android, PrayScroll uses the Accessibility Service for one purpose only: to detect which app is currently in the foreground so that PrayScroll knows when to display the prayer gate. We do not read, record, log, or transmit any screen content, keystrokes, form inputs, passwords, or any other on-screen data. This detection happens locally and in real time to identify only the foreground app package name (for example, com.instagram.android).
- What we detect: On iOS, only the apps you personally select to block (handled on-device by Apple). On Android, only the package name of the app currently on screen.
- What we do not detect: Screen content, text, images, passwords, notifications from other apps, browsing history, or any other data — on either platform.
- Where it goes: Nowhere. All app-blocking detection happens entirely on-device and is never transmitted to us.
You can revoke this permission at any time — on iOS in Settings under Screen Time, and on Android in your device's Accessibility Settings. Revoking it will disable the app-blocking functionality, but the rest of PrayScroll (prayers, journeys, community wall) will continue to work normally.
06 — Analytics
Analytics & Attribution
To understand where people get stuck during onboarding and to measure how users find PrayScroll, we use two additional tools: Microsoft Clarity for on-device session recording and AppsFlyer for install attribution. Neither tool is used to build an advertising profile of you, and neither has access to your prayer content, journey progress, or Prayer Wall submissions.
Microsoft Clarity records how you move through the app's screens — taps, swipes, and screen transitions — so we can see where onboarding is confusing. Clarity automatically masks text fields by default, so typed content (such as an optional name or city on the Prayer Wall) is not captured in recordings. Recordings are tied to a device-generated session ID, not your PrayScroll anonymous ID or any personal identifier.
AppsFlyer tells us which channel (App Store search, an ad, a referral, etc.) led to your install, so we can understand what's working. On iOS, AppsFlyer only receives your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) if you grant permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt — declining has no effect on app functionality. On Android, a device identifier (GAID) is used for the same purpose.
- What's collected: Screen interactions and session recordings (Clarity); install source, campaign data, and advertising identifiers (AppsFlyer).
- What's not collected: Prayer content, journey progress, Prayer Wall submissions, or anything gathered under the App Blocking Permissions described above — none of that data ever reaches Clarity or AppsFlyer.
- Retention: Clarity session recordings are retained for 30 days (longer for recordings we manually flag for product review).
- Your control: You can decline the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt at any time to opt out of AppsFlyer's use of your advertising identifier. There is currently no separate in-app toggle for Clarity; uninstalling the app stops all further recording.

07 — Third Parties
Third-Party Services
PrayScroll uses a small number of carefully chosen third-party services. We share the minimum data necessary with each — and we never sell your data to any third party.
Supabase
Our backend database and anonymous authentication provider. Data is stored on EU-based servers. Only your anonymous ID, prayer content, and journey progress are stored. Supabase Privacy Policy: supabase.com/privacy
DeepSeek AI
Used to generate intercessory prayer text. We send only the prayer topic or emotion you select — no personal data, no names, no identifiers. DeepSeek does not receive your anonymous ID. Privacy Policy: deepseek.com/privacy
RevenueCat
Manages the app's subscription flow and purchase status. RevenueCat processes anonymised purchase and subscription data linked only to your anonymous ID. We do not pass your name, email, or other personal identifiers to RevenueCat. Privacy Policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
Push Notifications (Firebase & Expo)
We use Firebase Cloud Messaging and Expo push services solely to deliver notifications (such as prayer reminders and "someone prayed for you" alerts). A push token — a device identifier used only to route notifications — is linked to your anonymous ID. No message content or personal data is shared for advertising. Firebase Privacy: firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Microsoft Clarity
Records on-device session interactions (taps, swipes, screen views) to help us fix onboarding friction. Sensitive text fields are masked by default. See Analytics & Attribution above for details.
AppsFlyer
Measures which channel led to your install so we can understand acquisition, not in-app behaviour. See Analytics & Attribution above for details.
We do not use advertising networks, social media SDKs, or any analytics platform to build a cross-app or cross-site profile of you. Clarity and AppsFlyer are used strictly for the limited purposes described in Analytics & Attribution above, and we never sell data to either.
08 — Notifications
Push Notifications
PrayScroll may request permission to send you push notifications for prayer reminders, streak alerts, and community prayer requests that match your journey track.
- Push notifications are entirely opt-in. You will be asked before they are enabled.
- Notification tokens (used to deliver your alerts) are linked only to your anonymous user ID.
- We never send promotional third-party marketing through push notifications.
- You can disable notifications at any time in your device's notification settings or from within the PrayScroll app.
09 — Your Rights
Deleting Your Data
Because PrayScroll uses anonymous authentication, there is no account dashboard to log in to. Here is how to delete your data:
- Uninstall PrayScroll from your device. This deletes all locally stored data, including your anonymous user ID.
- Reinstalling the app creates a brand-new anonymous account with no connection to the previous one. Your old prayers, streaks, and journey progress are permanently gone.
- If you wish to request deletion of server-side data (prayer history, community wall posts) linked to a specific anonymous session before uninstalling, email us at support@prayscroll.app with the subject line "Data Deletion Request". We will process it within 30 days.
Practical note: Because we hold no email, name, or identifier, a deletion request via email is voluntary on your part — there is nothing to link it to you unless you share your anonymous ID from the app settings. Simply uninstalling the app and not reinstalling it has the same practical effect as full data deletion.
10 — Children
Children's Privacy
PrayScroll is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Because we use anonymous authentication and collect no personal data, we have no mechanism to verify age. If you believe a child under 13 is using the app and you have concerns, please contact us at support@prayscroll.app.
11 — Updates
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, for material changes, post a notice within the app. Continued use of PrayScroll after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
Our commitment will not change: we will always collect the minimum data necessary, never sell it, and keep your prayer life private.
