Pray Privacy Policy

Effective July 10, 2026

Pray creates a deliberate pause before selected apps. It does not require an account, show ads, or track you across apps and websites.

Screen Time data

Your selected apps and gate settings are handled through Apple's Screen Time frameworks and stored on your device in Pray's private app group. Pray cannot read the content of your apps, messages, or browsing.

Prayer audio, transcript, and consent

Before processing a prayer, Pray asks for your consent to send microphone audio for transcription and verification. While you pray, an audio file exists temporarily on your device. When you finish or cancel, Pray reads or discards that file and deletes it. If Pray is interrupted, it removes any leftover prayer file the next time the app launches. The app sends finished audio through Pray's Vercel server to ElevenLabs Scribe for transcription. The transcript stays on the server and is sent with prayer timing to OpenAI for a brief verification response; it is not returned to the app.

Pray's application server does not store prayer audio, transcripts, or verification responses in a database or server-side prayer history. Pray does not use prayers for advertising or sell them. ElevenLabs and OpenAI may retain API data under their service terms and data controls. OpenAI states that API inputs and outputs are not used to train its models by default unless the API account owner opts in, and eligible API data may be retained in abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days.

Purchases

Apple processes payments. RevenueCat receives subscription status and an anonymous app-user identifier so Pray can unlock Pro features. Pray does not receive your payment card details.

On-device data

Gate configuration, unlock windows, and prayer totals are stored locally. Removing the app removes its local data, subject to data Apple may retain for purchases and Screen Time.

Service providers

Pray uses Apple, RevenueCat, Vercel, ElevenLabs, and OpenAI to provide blocking, purchases, hosting, transcription, and prayer verification. Their processing is governed by their own privacy terms.

Your choices

You can turn off prayer processing in Pray Settings. After that, Pray will not process another prayer unless you agree again. You can also change microphone access in iOS Settings, change Screen Time authorization, restore or manage purchases, and delete Pray to remove its local app data.
