Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Catholic Daily respects your privacy. This policy covers the iOS and Android apps and catholicdaily.app. We do not sell your data, show ads, or use your data for cross-app advertising.

Data We Collect

On your device: topics, theme, language, favorites, My Quotes, reminders, and Prayer Focus settings are stored locally. If you enable Prayer Focus, the Android app accesses the list of launchable apps, the package names you select, and the current foreground app during an active focus session. This Prayer Focus information stays on your device and is excluded from Android cloud backup. Backups: iCloud may sync favorites, My Quotes, selected settings, reminder and Sacred Moment times, and your daily streak through your private iCloud database. If Android device backup is enabled, Google may store an encrypted platform backup of the app database, general settings, and custom themes; reminder schedules, Prayer Focus selections, and active session state are excluded. Subscriptions are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play and RevenueCat. Analytics: Firebase Analytics receives a pseudonymous app-instance identifier, general device/app and approximate-region information, and app interactions such as screens viewed, feature actions, and whether onboarding steps were completed. Your selected age range, faith-goal choices, and content-preference values are not sent. The website uses Google Analytics. We do not collect the Android Advertising ID or use in-app or on-site advertising.

How We Use Data

Preferences power widgets, reminders, Prayer Focus, and in-app content. Platform backups and iCloud sync restore eligible data when you enable those services. Pseudonymous analytics help us understand reliability and improve features and the website. Subscription data is used only to manage premium access. We do not sell data or share it for third-party marketing.

Third-Party Services

Apple (App Store and iCloud), Google (Google Play, Android Backup, Firebase Analytics, and Google Analytics), and RevenueCat (subscriptions). Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. Theme images and liturgical content may load from our CDN or API when online; bundled content remains available offline.

Your Rights

Delete the app to remove its local data. Data already stored in iCloud or Android Backup may remain until you remove it or disable backup in your Apple or Google account. You can turn Prayer Focus off and revoke Usage Access, Display over other apps, exact alarms, or full-screen notifications in Android Settings. Uninstalling stops new analytics from the app. Manage subscriptions through Apple App Store or Google Play. Contact us with privacy questions or requests.
