At PAPrayers.com, your trust is sacred to us. This policy explains what information we collect when you submit a prayer request, how it is used, and how we protect it. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes — ever.
1. Information We Collect
When you submit a prayer request through our website, we may collect the following information that you voluntarily provide:
- Your name (first name or full name)
- Your phone number and/or email address
- The content of your prayer request
We do not collect any information automatically beyond what is standard to web hosting (such as basic server access logs). We do not use tracking cookies, analytics platforms, or advertising tools on this site.
2. How We Use Your Information
The information you submit is used solely for the following purposes:
- To receive and pray over your prayer request
- To send you a one-time SMS text message confirming receipt of your request, if you provided a phone number
- To follow up with you directly regarding your prayer, if you provided contact information and consent to follow-up
Your prayer request and contact information are received directly by the ministry leader at PAPrayers.com. We do not use automated marketing systems or add you to any mailing list or recurring message program without your explicit consent.
3. SMS Text Messaging
By providing your phone number and submitting a prayer request, you consent to receive a one-time SMS text message from PAPrayers.com regarding your prayer request.
Message frequency: One message per prayer request submitted. This is not a recurring message program.
Message and data rates may apply. Standard carrier rates for SMS and data apply depending on your mobile plan.
To opt out: Reply STOP to any message you receive from us. You will receive one confirmation message and no further messages will be sent.
For help: Reply HELP to any message, or contact us at help@paprayers.com.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. PAPrayers.com respects all opt-out requests immediately.
We use Twilio, a third-party SMS delivery service, to transmit text messages. Twilio receives your phone number and message content solely for the purpose of delivering the message. Twilio's privacy policy can be found at twilio.com/legal/privacy.
4. How We Protect Your Information
We take the privacy of your prayer requests seriously. Your submissions are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. We do not store your prayer request data in any database — submissions are delivered directly to the ministry leader via SMS and are not retained on any server beyond the delivery of that message.
We encourage you to share only what you are comfortable sharing. You are never required to provide your phone number or email address to submit a prayer.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. The only third party that receives any portion of your data is Twilio (our SMS delivery provider), and only for the purpose of delivering your confirmation message.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request, but we will always seek to protect your privacy to the fullest extent permitted.
6. Children's Privacy
PAPrayers.com is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at help@paprayers.com and we will promptly address it.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP
- Request that we confirm what information we hold about you
- Request deletion of any personal information you have submitted
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at help@paprayers.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
