Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 11, 2026

Memorare ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our iOS application.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

  • Prayer intentions: The personal intentions you share before each rosary session
  • Reflection conversations: Messages you share during post-prayer reflections
  • Onboarding responses: Information about your faith journey and reasons for using the app
  • Explore conversations: Questions and discussions about mysteries during meditation

AI-Generated Memory

Our AI may extract and store meaningful information from your conversations to personalize future meditations. This includes details about your life circumstances, relationships, struggles, and spiritual journey. You can view and delete these memories at any time in the app's Settings.

Automatically Collected Information

  • Device information: Device model, iOS version, app version, and locale
  • Usage analytics: Prayer sessions completed, features used, and interaction patterns
  • Installation identifier: A persistent, randomly generated ID used to group analytics events from the same app installation

Data We Do NOT Collect

  • Your name or email address as a required app account (you may provide an email for support or website product updates)
  • Location data
  • Contacts or photos
  • Payment information (we don't sell anything in-app)

How We Use Your Information

  • Personalized meditations: Your intentions and memories are used to generate AI meditations that connect your prayers to your life
  • Conversation continuity: Messages provide context within a conversation. Saved Explore history and AI-extracted memories can support future conversations; reflection messages are temporary in the app.
  • App improvement: Usage analytics grouped by installation help us understand which features are valuable and where to improve
  • Prayer history: Local records let you track your prayer practice over time

Third-Party AI Disclosure

Important: Memorare uses Anthropic's Claude AI to generate personalized meditations and power our chat features. When you use these features, certain personal data is shared with Anthropic:

  • Your prayer intentions
  • Your conversation messages (reflections, onboarding, explore chats)
  • AI-generated memories about you (to provide context for personalization)

This data is processed by Anthropic to generate your meditations and responses. By using AI-powered features in this app, you consent to this data sharing. You can learn more about Anthropic's data practices at anthropic.com/privacy.

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

Prayer records (including saved intentions), Explore conversations, and AI memories are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Reflection messages are held for the current conversation rather than saved as a reflection transcript. Details from conversations may be extracted into locally saved memories. iOS provides device data protection; local storage does not mean the data stays exclusively on your device when you use AI features.

Cloud Processing

When you use AI features (meditation generation, reflection chat, Explore chat, onboarding, or memory extraction), relevant intentions, messages, and saved memories are transmitted via HTTPS to our API proxy hosted on Cloudflare, which forwards requests to Anthropic's Claude API. The proxy does not persist prayer or conversation content in its application database. Anthropic processes these requests under its own data and retention policies; see the third-party disclosure above.

Analytics

Usage analytics are sent to infrastructure hosted by Cloudflare, which processes this data on our behalf. A persistent, randomly generated installation ID lets us group events from the same app installation. Events include metadata such as session duration, feature usage, error information, and interaction patterns. Analytics data includes:

  • A persistent, randomly generated installation ID (not your Apple ID or advertising identifier)
  • Device model, operating system version, app version, and locale
  • Onboarding choices about life stage, faith background, and reasons for prayer may still be sent by the current app. Earlier analytics service versions retained these choices; current processing removes these profile fields before storage.
  • Feature usage events (e.g., sessions started, sessions completed, features opened)
  • Performance and error data (e.g., API failures, network errors)

The app does not require an account. Analytics events are grouped by installation. We do not use this analytics data for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Data Retention

  • Local data: Saved prayer records, Explore conversations, and memories remain until deleted or the app is uninstalled. Reflection messages are temporary, although extracted memories may remain.
  • Analytics: Retained for product improvement purposes
  • AI processing: Your data is processed by Anthropic according to their retention policies

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control

  • View your data: Access your prayer history and AI memories in the app's Settings
  • Delete memories: Remove individual AI memories or all memories from Settings
  • Optional intention: In the current app (version 1.0), Skip may still request AI meditations using saved memory context even when no intention is entered. Handwritten fallback meditations are available when you are offline or AI generation fails. Explore and Reflection send relevant messages and memory context when you use them.

Delete All Data

To delete all your data, uninstall the app from your device. This removes locally stored prayer records, memories, and Explore conversations. It does not delete data previously processed by Anthropic under its retention policies. If you'd like us to delete any analytics data associated with your installation ID, please contact us.

Focus Mode (Screen Time)

Focus Mode is not available in the current release. If enabled in a future release, it uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls framework) to temporarily shield selected apps until you complete your daily rosary. This feature requires your explicit authorization. App selections and completion status are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to any server.

Notifications

If you enable daily reminders, the app schedules local notifications on your device. We do not use push notification services that require external servers. Your notification preferences are stored locally.

Children's Privacy

Memorare is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
