Your Spiritual Life Stays Private
How Psalmlog Protects Your Most Personal Prayers and Reflections
We built Psalmlog knowing you'd share your deepest struggles, your most honest prayers, and your real spiritual questions. That's a sacred trust. Here's exactly how we protect it.
Your Voice Never Leaves Your Device
When you speak your prayers and reflections into Psalmlog, the audio stays on your phone. We convert your voice to text right there on your device—no audio file ever touches our servers. Once you're done, the recording is immediately discarded.
Your voice. Your device. Period.
Your Journal Entries Are Yours Alone
Your written reflections are stored securely so you can access your guidance history anytime. But here's what we promise:
- •Only you can see your entries (protected by your account login)
- •We never sell your data to anyone
- •We never share your entries with advertisers
- •We never let other users see your content
AI That Respects Your Privacy
To give you personalized biblical guidance, we utilize third-party AI services. Here's what matters:
Your entries never train their AI models. Unlike apps that feed your data to big tech for model training, your spiritual reflections are processed and immediately forgotten by these services. Their API terms explicitly prohibit using your content for training.
Think of it like a calculator—your entries go in, guidance comes out, nothing is remembered.
Strict Internal Protections
We can't promise that no human at Psalmlog could ever see a journal entry—we need to maintain the systems that serve your content. But we can tell you exactly how we limit this:
- •Access is limited to ownership and core development only
- •We don't casually browse individual entries
- •Access is for system maintenance and quality assurance only
- •We're building audit controls as we scale
How We Improve Psalmlog
We may use anonymized, aggregated patterns from journal entries to make Psalmlog better. For example, we might discover that users asking about anxiety need better Scripture coverage—so we improve our recommendations.
We're looking at patterns, not reading your prayers. Your individual entries aren't reviewed for product improvement.
What We Will Never Do
Some promises are non-negotiable:
- ✕Never sell your journal content or personal data
- ✕Never share your entries with advertisers
- ✕Never use your entries to train third-party AI models
- ✕Never store your voice recordings
- ✕Never expose your spiritual reflections to anyone who shouldn't see them
The Pastoral Standard
Like a conversation with a trusted pastor, your reflections are held in confidence—not because they're technically impossible to access, but because protecting your spiritual privacy is foundational to our mission.
Your spiritual journey is between you and God. We're just here to help you find His wisdom in Scripture.
