Effective September 30, 2026

Privacy Policy

This policy explains the information practices of the Product Spark Studio website and the Prayer Table mobile app. Their behavior is different, so we describe them separately.

The Product Spark Studio website

This website does not intentionally use analytics, advertising technology, cookies, or tracking tools. It has no accounts and no contact form. If you select an email link, your email application handles the message you choose to send.

Prayer Table

Information you provide

When Firebase is configured for Prayer Table, you can create an account with a display name, email address, and password. Firebase Authentication handles credentials and sessions. Product Spark Studio does not build or store a separate password system.

You can create prayer requests, choose a category, add request text, and choose whether the request displays your name or appears as anonymous. Selecting anonymous affects how a post is displayed. The app still associates the request with your account internally so that ownership, deletion, and moderation can work.

You can also indicate that you prayed for a request and report content. Prayer interactions are designed around an aggregate count rather than a public list of who prayed. Reports are stored privately for manual moderation and are not public. We keep a private record of the moderation action taken on each report.

How information is used

Information that is not public

Your email address and account identifier are not displayed on prayer requests. Reports are not public. The app does not provide a public list of people who prayed for a request.

Service providers

Prayer Table uses Firebase services from Google for authentication and application data. The mobile app is built with React Native and Expo. These providers may process technical and account information as needed to provide their services, subject to their own terms and policies. Prayer Table also uses Expo's push notification service to deliver notifications to your device. Expo may process your device's push token and the minimum notification content needed to deliver it, subject to its own terms and policies.

Prayer Table uses Sentry to receive crash and error reports so we can find and fix problems. A report includes technical details such as the error, the app version, the device model and operating system, and the app screens involved. Prayer Table is configured so these reports do not include prayer text, your name, your email address, your account identifier, or your IP address, and Sentry is set not to store IP addresses.

When we share information

We do not sell your information or use it for advertising. We may disclose information, such as your account email address and content you posted, when we believe in good faith that it is required by law, for example in response to a valid legal request or to make a legally required report, including reports of apparent child sexual exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. We may also disclose information when it is reasonably necessary to protect someone from imminent harm, such as contacting emergency services about a credible threat to someone's life or safety.

Notifications

If you turn on notifications, Prayer Table registers a push notification token for your device with Apple or Google's push notification service (via Expo's push infrastructure) and stores it on your account. This token identifies your device for the purpose of delivering notifications; it does not identify you to Apple, Google, or Expo beyond what their own services already require to deliver a push message.

Notifications are sent when someone prays for a request you posted, or when an update or testimony is posted on a request you prayed for. Each of these is a separate, independently controlled setting: turning one off does not affect the other, and no push token is registered at all until you turn on at least one.

To deliver and track notifications reliably, Prayer Table keeps short-lived operational records tied to your account: which notifications are due, whether a send succeeded, and device-level retry information for a failed delivery. These records are internal and are not visible to other users. See Retention below for how long they are kept.

Account deletion and data requests

The current app includes a Delete account action in Settings. When it completes successfully, the app removes your active prayer requests from the feed, deletes your private profile document, deletes your Firebase Authentication user, clears the local session, and returns to the signed-out state.

Prayer requests removed during account deletion are soft-removed rather than immediately erased from the backend. A minimal removed record may remain for safety, moderation, legal compliance, auditability, and data consistency, as described in Retention below. Removed records are never shown to other users.

If you cannot use the in-app action, or if you want to ask about deletion or other data, email admin@productsparkstudio.com. Include the email address associated with your account and describe your request. Do not include your password.

Local prototype behavior

When Firebase is not configured, Prayer Table can operate in a local prototype mode. In that mode, the profile, session, and local request state are stored on the device instead of being sent to Firebase. Removing the app or clearing its storage may affect that local data.

Retention

Product Spark Studio keeps information only as current product behavior and operational needs require. A complete retention schedule has not been established. Soft-removed prayer requests, including those removed during account deletion, and reports are kept as private removed records for safety, moderation, and legal compliance until we establish an automatic deletion schedule. Information we are legally required to preserve, such as content included in a legally required report, is kept for as long as that requirement applies. Crash and error reports are kept by Sentry for no more than 90 days. Push notification tokens are kept for as long as notifications remain turned on for your device, and are removed when you turn notifications off, sign out, or delete your account. Operational records used to deliver and track notifications (such as delivery status and device-level retry information) are automatically deleted 30 days after they are resolved, or immediately if you delete your account, whichever comes first. You may contact us with a specific deletion question or request.

Safety and sensitive content

Prayer requests may contain personal or sensitive information. Share only what you are comfortable placing in the app. Do not use the service for emergency help. Content can be reported for manual review and may be removed when it violates the Terms of Use or creates a safety concern.

Children and age eligibility

Prayer Table is intended only for people age 18 and older, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may disable the account and remove its information, except where we must keep information for safety or legal reasons. A parent or guardian should contact us if they believe a child has provided information.

Security

Product Spark Studio uses the access controls and authentication capabilities built into the current Firebase implementation. No internet service can be guaranteed completely secure. Please use a strong, unique password and do not send passwords by email.

Policy updates

We may update this policy as the website, app, or information practices change. The effective date at the top will be revised when the policy changes. Material product behavior changes should be reflected here before users are asked to rely on them.
