Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 03, 2025
FaithLink.live values your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control your information. It applies to our website, apps, and services (the “Service”).
Information We Collect
- Account & profile: display name, email, photo, church affiliation.
- Connections & activity: who you connect with, prayers you post, joins (“I’m praying now”), comments, and likes.
- Device & app data: identifiers, app version, crash logs, diagnostics, and limited analytics.
- Location (optional): when you create pins or share location-enabled content.
- Push tokens: device tokens used to send notifications.
Audio Prayers & Voice Data
You may record and share audio prayers. When you do, we process:
- Audio content you upload (stored in our cloud storage).
- Technical metadata such as duration, file size, content type, and storage path.
- Transcripts (optional/future): if you enable transcription, your audio may be sent to a third‑party speech‑to‑text provider. Transcripts, if generated, are stored with the prayer.
How We Use Audio
- Operate the Service: host, store, stream, and deliver your audio to people who are allowed to hear it (e.g., the prayer owner, participants, or your network according to visibility you set).
- Moderation & safety: scan or review content to prevent abuse and maintain a healthy community.
- Improvement: troubleshoot issues (e.g., playback failures), improve reliability, and prevent fraud.
Your Choices & Controls
- Visibility: choose who can see/hear your prayers and pins.
- Delete audio: you may delete your audio prayers. Deleting removes the file and associated Firestore record from the Service; cached copies may persist briefly.
- Manage notifications: use your device settings or in‑app controls to turn notifications on/off.
- Access & correction: contact us to request a copy or correction of your information.
Legal Basis & Consent
Where required, we rely on your consent to process audio and optional location data. You may withdraw consent by deleting the content or changing settings. We also process data to provide the Service, prevent abuse, and comply with law.
Sharing
- Service providers: hosting, storage, analytics, push notifications, crash reporting, and (if enabled) transcription providers—only to perform work for us under contract.
- Community visibility: your content is shared with people you allow (owner, participants, network), consistent with in‑app controls.
- Legal & safety: to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect users.
Retention
We keep account data while your account is active. Audio prayers are retained until you or the owner delete them, or as needed for safety, dispute resolution, or legal obligations.
Children
FaithLink is not directed to children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your region). Do not record or upload a child’s voice without verifiable consent from a parent or guardian.
Security
We use safeguards like authentication, App Check, and encryption in transit. No system is 100% secure.
International Transfers
Your data may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries where our providers operate.
