Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of TYJ Studio LLC ("PrayedUp," "we," "us," or "our") and how we handle personal information that we collect through our application, website, and any other sites or services (collectively, the "Services").

The basics

PrayedUp allows people to give and receive prayer. Here's how it works:

  • Users ("App Users") can create a profile and optionally generate a shareable link for prayer requests.
  • Others ("Prayer Senders") can submit prayers or requests via that link, which the App User may keep private or choose to share within the app or on social platforms.
  • To protect the community, we may use automated systems (including AI-enabled content moderation) to help detect harmful, abusive, or unsafe content.

We do not disclose the name or social handle of a Prayer Sender to an App User unless the Prayer Sender chooses to share it. We may reveal limited, non-identifying properties (e.g., device or network attributes) to help maintain safety and integrity. We may also share information with law enforcement when required by law or to protect users and our Services.

Personal information we collect

We collect information about you from a variety of sources depending on how you interact with the Services—such as visiting our site, using the app, or submitting/receiving prayers.

Personal information you provide to us

  • Account information (for App Users): username/alias, contact details you choose to provide, profile photo (optional), and settings.
  • Prayer content: text, audio recordings, captions or transcriptions, reactions, and comments that you submit or receive.
  • Feedback or correspondence: information you provide when you contact us for support, submit product feedback, or otherwise communicate with us.
  • Usage information: information about how you interact with the Services, including features you use and content you submit.

Messaging and Communication: If you provide your phone number, we may send you text messages (SMS/MMS) related to your use of the Services, including:

  • Prayer request notifications and responses
  • Account or phone verification
  • Service-related updates and confirmations

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on your activity and preferences. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message.

We do not send marketing texts without your explicit consent.

Mobile Number Privacy and Information Sharing: We value your privacy and do not sell your personal information. We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose users' mobile numbers or consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile information collected for SMS messaging will only be shared with service providers who facilitate message delivery (such as our SMS provider, SimpleTexting) and will be used exclusively to send transactional or service-related communications as explicitly requested by you. These service providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and process information under our instructions.

We may also collect other information not specifically listed here that we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Information we obtain from other sources

We may receive information from third parties such as analytics or measurement partners, distribution platforms, or publicly available sources, which we use to maintain, protect, and improve the Services and understand how they are used.

Automatic data collection

We and our service providers may automatically log information about your device and how you interact with the Services, such as:

  • Device data: operating system, device model, app version, language, time zone, device identifiers, IP address, and general (coarse) location derived from IP.
  • Online activity data: pages/screens viewed, session duration, navigation paths, access times, in-app events, and whether certain messages or notifications were opened or engaged with.

We use common technologies for automatic data collection, including:

  • Cookies and local storage to remember preferences and enable functionality.
  • Web beacons/pixels to understand usage and measure performance.

How we use your personal information

We use personal information for one or more of the following purposes:

  • Provide and support the Services: create and manage accounts, deliver features (including prayer posting, audio playback and optional transcription), share content per your choices, and provide customer support.
  • Improve, monitor, personalize, and protect the Services: troubleshoot and research, develop new features, enforce community guidelines, detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or illegal activity, and keep the Services secure.
  • Communicate with you: send service-related notices (e.g., updates, security alerts), respond to requests, and provide information about features or offerings (where permitted by law and with any required consent).
  • Legal and compliance: enforce our terms, comply with legal obligations, and defend against legal claims or disputes.

How we share your personal information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose users' mobile numbers or consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share information only as described below:

  • Service providers: With companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Services (e.g., hosting, moderation, analytics, messaging, payment/subscription processing, and customer support). These parties are bound by confidentiality obligations and process information under our instructions.
  • Other users: Content you choose to post or share may be visible to others consistent with your settings. If you generate a link for prayer requests, people with that link may submit content to you.
  • Compliance, fraud prevention, and safety: We may share information if we believe it is necessary to comply with laws, protect rights and safety, or respond to lawful requests.
  • Business transfers: We may share or transfer information in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to commitments consistent with this Policy.

How you share your personal information

App Users may choose to share prayers or responses within the app or to their social accounts. Your social account settings determine who can view shared content. Be mindful that content you share can be saved or reshared by others.

Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request:

  • Information about how we collect and use personal information (provided here).
  • Access to a copy of your personal information.
  • Correction of inaccurate information.
  • Deletion of information we no longer need.
  • Restriction or objection to certain processing, and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a request, contact us as set out in Contact us below. We may request information necessary to verify your identity. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. In some cases, your choices may be limited where fulfilling a request would violate the rights of others, our legal obligations, or our ability to provide the Services you requested.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. We currently do not respond to these signals.

Children's privacy

The Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age (or higher where required by local law). If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable age without required parental consent, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us.

International data transfers

We are based in the United States and may process your information in the U.S. and other countries that may have different data-protection laws than your home country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Retention of personal information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We consider the nature and sensitivity of the information, risk of harm, purposes of processing, and legal requirements to determine retention periods.

Security practices

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Other sites, mobile applications, and services

The Services may include links or integrations to third-party sites, apps, or services. We do not control third-party properties, and their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date and may provide additional notice (e.g., in-app or on our website).
