You can request deletion of your PrayerConnect account and its data at any time. There are two ways to do this.
Option 1 — In the app or website (recommended)
- Sign in to PrayerConnect (mobile app or prayer.prayerconnect.church).
- Open the menu and tap Privacy Settings.
- Scroll to the Delete My Account section.
- Tap Request Account Deletion and confirm.
- Your account enters a 7-day grace period. You can cancel the request at any time during this window by returning to Privacy Settings and tapping Cancel Deletion.
- After 7 days, your account and data are permanently removed as described below.
Option 2 — Email request
If you cannot access the app, email prayer@prayerconnect.church from the email address on your account. State clearly that you want your PrayerConnect account deleted. We will process the request within 7 days of verification.
What is deleted
When your account is deleted, the following data is permanently removed:
- Your name, email address, and profile information
- All prayer requests you created (including generated prayer text, updates, and comments on them)
- Your organization memberships, organization requests, and invitations you sent
- Your “I prayed for this” records and prayer subscriptions
- Your notification preferences and push-notification device tokens
- Your sign-in records and app sign-ins
- Users you blocked, and blocks against you
- Your consent records
- View records and statistics for your prayers
What is kept (and why)
- Comments on other people’s prayers — replaced with “Comment removed” and shown as from “Deleted user,” so the conversation on their prayer still makes sense. Your name and the comment text are removed.
- Moderation records — reports you filed and records of moderation actions are kept with your identity, IP address, and email removed, so we can keep the community safe.
- Organizations you own — remain for their other members.
- Social media posts — if one of your shared prayers was posted on our social media channels, email us and we will remove our posts. We cannot remove copies made by others.
- Aggregate, anonymized statistics — prayer counts, organization membership counts, and other statistics that do not reference you personally may be retained for organization reporting. These cannot be used to identify you.
- Email delivery logs at our provider (Mailgun) — our email service provider keeps delivery records according to its retention schedule, typically no more than 30 days.
- Legally required records — if we are required by law to retain certain records (e.g., in response to a subpoena), we will do so for the minimum period required by law.
Data retention timeline
Our retention schedule for deleted accounts:
- Days 0–7 (grace period): Account marked for deletion. Reversible at any time by the user.
- Day 8: Account and all associated data permanently removed from our database.
- Up to 30 days: Email delivery logs at Mailgun age out.
- Backups: Our database backups are kept for up to 30 days on a rolling basis. Deleted data remains in backups until those backups expire.
