Prayer Screen is a Scripture app. It does not need to know much about you, so it asks for very little and keeps most of what it holds on your iPhone.
We do not sell your data, and we do not show ads in the app. To measure our own ads on Facebook and Instagram, the app tells Meta when it is installed and opened and when you subscribe; Our ads explains what that includes. Your verses, saved passages, streak and lock rules live on your device and in your own iCloud account. We never see which apps you block, and we cannot read them.
You can use Prayer Screen without giving us your name, email address or phone number. Two kinds of information reach us:
If you write to support, we hold your message and your email address so we can answer you.
The following is stored on your iPhone and, if you have iCloud enabled, synced through your own iCloud account. We have no access to it:
The lock feature is built on Apple's Screen Time API. When you grant permission, iOS gives the app an opaque token for each app you select. The token cannot be reversed into an app name, and it never leaves your device.
In practice this means we cannot tell which apps you block, how often you open them, or how long you spend in them. iOS enforces the rules; Prayer Screen only shows the verse and the prayer in front of them.
Reminders are scheduled locally by your iPhone. If you turn notifications off, in the app or in iOS Settings, nothing is sent and nothing is logged.
Subscriptions to Prayer Screen Plus are handled by Apple through your App Store account. Apple processes the payment and tells us whether a subscription is active. We never receive your card number or billing address.
prayerscreen.com uses the Google Ads tag to count how many visitors who arrive from our ads tap through to the App Store. Google may set a cookie in your browser to do this. We have turned off ad personalization for the tag, so these visits are not used to build advertising audiences. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland the tag runs without cookies.
We advertise Prayer Screen on Facebook and Instagram. To learn which of those ads lead to installs and subscriptions, the app includes Meta's SDK, which tells Meta when the app is installed and opened. Our subscription provider, RevenueCat, tells Meta when you start a trial or subscribe. These events carry a random ID created by the app, basic device details such as model, iOS version and language, your IP address, and, for subscriptions, the plan and its price.
Meta uses these events to measure our ads and to decide who to show them to, under its own privacy policy. Prayer Screen never asks for permission to track you, so it never reads your device's advertising identifier. Nothing you read, save, write or block is part of these events.
Anonymous usage counts are retained for up to 24 months. Crash reports are retained for up to 12 months. Support email is kept for as long as it is useful for answering follow-up questions, and then deleted.
Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device. To remove synced content, delete Prayer Screen data from iCloud in iOS Settings. Analytics can be turned off in the app under Settings, and iOS app-level tracking controls apply as well.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. Write to us and we will respond within 30 days.
Prayer Screen is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, write to us and we will delete it.
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will update the date above and note the change in the app before it takes effect.
Questions about privacy go to privacy@prayerscreen.com. Anything else, hello@prayerscreen.com.
