1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: directly when you provide it to us, and automatically as you navigate the site.

A. Personal Data You Voluntarily Provide

Prayer Requests: When you submit a prayer request via our contact forms, we collect your name (or alias) and the content of your prayer intention. Please do not include sensitive personal details about third parties in public or private prayer submissions.

Contact & Inquiries: When you email us or submit a message through our Contact Us page, we collect your name, email address, and any information contained within your message.

Newsletter / Daily Readings Email (If applicable): If you subscribe to receive daily Mass readings or site updates, we collect your email address.

B. Information Collected Automatically

Log Data & Analytics: Like most websites, our servers automatically record log information when you visit. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit.

Cookies: We use basic cookies to ensure smooth site navigation, remember user preferences (such as font size or liturgical calendar settings), and analyze general traffic trends. You can disable cookies at any time through your individual browser settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for spiritual, educational, and operational purposes:

To deliver daily Catholic Mass readings, prayers, and scripture content seamlessly.

To respond to your questions, prayer requests, and feedback.

To maintain the technical security, performance, and operational integrity of Daily Grace Hub.

To analyze anonymous, aggregated traffic metrics so we can improve site navigation and user experience.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information or prayer intentions to third parties under any circumstances.

3. Third-Party Services & Embedded Content

To provide automated liturgical calendars and rich media content, Daily Grace Hub may utilize or embed third-party services:

Catholic Liturgical & Bible APIs: Our site connects to open-source and third-party APIs (such as the Catholic Liturgical Calendar API and scripture databases) to display daily readings automatically. These API requests fetch text data without passing your personally identifiable information.

Embedded Media: Pages (such as our Hymns Library) may include embedded video or audio streams (e.g., YouTube). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same manner as if you visited the third-party website directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with their embedded content.

External Links: Our site may contain links to official Vatican websites, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), or other Catholic resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

4. Data Retention & Security

Prayer Intentions: Private prayer requests are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the spiritual intention or respond to your inquiry, after which they are securely deleted.

Security Measures: We employ industry-standard security measures, including SSL (HTTPS) encryption, to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

5. Children’s Privacy

Daily Grace Hub is a general audience website intended for users of all ages interested in Catholic daily readings and prayers. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information on our site without parental consent, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such data.

6. Your Data Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you.

Request the correction or deletion of your personal data or prayer submissions.

Opt out of any future email communications at any time using the “Unsubscribe” link provided in emails.

To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to us via our Contact Page or at the email address provided below.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our site features or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
