Privacy

This is a place of prayer, not surveillance. Here is plainly what we hold and why.

What we hold

  • Your account — email, pilgrim name, and profile details — comes from Clerk, our sign-in provider.
  • Remembrances you post (the beloved's name, dates, photo, and intention) are public once a moderator approves them. Only post a photo you have the right to share.
  • Wall posts and comments are public after moderation.
  • Journal entries, examen responses, prayer circles, and novenas are private to your account.
  • Donations and subscriptions are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your card number.

Why we hold it

  • To run the vigil: your account keeps your remembrances, journal, circles, and novenas together; public content exists so strangers can pray for your beloved.
  • We do not run advertising, sell your data, or build profiles on you. There are no third-party trackers on this site.

Who touches it

  • Clerk (sign-in), Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting and photo storage), and Neon (the database). Each only touches what it needs to do its job.
  • Moderators see pending public content before it appears — nothing private.

Your control

  • Export everything we hold about you from Settings → Export.
  • Delete your account from Settings. Deletion removes your profile, private content, and public posts; cancels any subscription; and removes your Clerk sign-in identity.
  • Questions or requests: reach us through the founder's note on the About page.
