Privacy
Short version: we keep what we need to run the service, we don't sell it, and you can delete it.
Last updated September 7, 2026.
What we collect
- Account: your email, name if you give one, and a password hash. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and avatar.
- Conversations: if you are signed in, the messages you send and the answers you receive are saved so you can return to them. Anonymous conversations are not stored on our servers.
- Prayer intentions: stored only if you add them.
- Usage: a weekly count of how much you have used the service, to apply plan limits.
- Billing: handled by Stripe. We store a Stripe customer ID and your plan. We never see your card number.
- Technical: standard server logs and privacy-respecting analytics (page views, no cross-site tracking).
How answers are generated
Your messages are sent to third-party AI infrastructure to generate a response. Those providers process the text to produce the answer and are contractually restricted from using it to train their models. Do not include information you would not want processed by a service provider, such as another person's confidential details.
Confession and sensitive matters
AskCatholic is not a confessor and there is no seal of confession over anything you type. Please do not confess specific sins to it. Bring those to a priest, where they are protected absolutely.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not show advertising.
- We do not share your conversations with anyone except the infrastructure needed to run the service.
