PRIVACY POLICY
Clear and Responsible Use of Your Information
1. Information You Provide
When you submit a prayer request, you may provide information such as your name, email address, prayer request, prayer category, sharing preference and whether you want the request displayed anonymously.
2. Prayer Requests
Prayer requests are stored so that authorized administrators can review and manage them. New requests enter a pending state. An administrator may approve, reject, keep a request private, mark it as prayed for, or delete it.
3. Prayer Wall Privacy
A prayer request is not publicly displayed simply because it has been approved. For the public Prayer Wall, the request must be approved and explicitly submitted for Prayer Wall sharing.
Requests submitted as private are kept out of the public Prayer Wall. Email addresses and administrative review information are not displayed publicly. If a request is marked anonymous, the public Prayer Wall displays the author as “Anonymous.”
4. How We Use Submitted Information
Information submitted through the prayer feature is used to operate the prayer-request service, review submissions, support moderation and display eligible public requests according to the selected sharing preference.
5. Security
The prayer administration area is protected by administrator authentication. Public pages do not directly access the underlying prayer database; approved public content is delivered through the site's public API with private administrative fields excluded.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Prayer requests may remain in the administration system while they are needed to operate the prayer service. Authorized administrators can delete prayer requests through the administration system.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The administration area uses a secure session cookie to maintain an authenticated administrator session. This cookie is not used to display advertising. This website does not currently describe any separate advertising or analytics-cookie program here; the policy should be updated if such services are introduced.
8. YouVersion Platform and Bible Content
The Squad of Jesus website uses the YouVersion Platform and YouVersion API to provide access to selected Bible translations and Scripture content through the website's Bible reader and related Bible features.
Squad of Jesus does not claim ownership of Bible translations, Scripture text, publisher content, or other copyrighted Bible materials supplied through the YouVersion Platform. Copyright and other intellectual-property rights remain with the respective copyright holders, publishers, Bible societies, or other content providers, as applicable.
Where Bible content is supplied through the YouVersion Platform, Squad of Jesus displays the applicable Bible-version attribution and copyright information available for the relevant translation or edition. Attribution may differ between Bible versions because the rights, publishers, copyright holders, and applicable requirements can differ between editions.
The availability of a Bible translation through the Squad of Jesus website does not mean that Squad of Jesus owns, publishes, or independently licenses that translation. Bible-version availability is determined by the access and permissions applicable to the YouVersion Platform and the relevant content provider.
Squad of Jesus does not represent itself as YouVersion or Life.Church and does not represent itself as the copyright owner or publisher of Bible translations made available through the YouVersion Platform.
Users should refer to the copyright and attribution information displayed with the applicable Bible version for information concerning that translation. For additional information about the YouVersion Platform and its developer resources, users may consult the official YouVersion Platform documentation.
9. Third-Party Services and Infrastructure
The current website uses Cloudflare infrastructure, including Cloudflare Pages and Cloudflare D1, to host the application and store prayer-request data. The website also uses the YouVersion Platform/API for selected Bible content as described in Section 8.
Any future third-party services that materially change how personal information, communications, analytics, advertising, Bible content or other user-related information is processed should be reflected in an updated version of this policy.
10. Your Choices
You can choose whether a prayer request is shared to the Prayer Wall when submitting it. You can also choose anonymous display. For questions about a submission, Bible-content attribution, or a privacy concern, please use the Contact page.
11. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website's functionality, data practices, third-party services, Bible-content integrations or other relevant practices change. The effective date at the beginning of this page should be updated when material changes are made.
