The Prayer Watch is built around prayer, trust and care. We believe personal information shared in prayer spaces should be treated with respect.
Last updated: 8 September 2026
Information we collect
When you use The Prayer Watch, we may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, account settings, church memberships, prayer vigil participation and notification preferences.
When you create or participate in a vigil, information you choose to provide may include prayer requests, prayer focus, updates, words of support and other content associated with that vigil.
Prayer content and privacy
The Prayer Watch allows vigil organisers to choose whether a vigil is public, unlisted or private.
- Public vigils may appear in public areas of The Prayer Watch and may be viewed by others.
- Unlisted vigils do not appear in public discovery but may be accessed by someone who has the direct link.
- Private vigils are restricted to authorised participants.
Please consider carefully what personal information you include in a prayer request, particularly information concerning another person.
How we use information
We use information to operate The Prayer Watch and provide features such as prayer vigils, Prayer Watch scheduling, church communities, invitations, notifications, reminders and account administration.
Information may also be used to protect the platform, investigate reports, prevent abuse and improve the reliability and usability of The Prayer Watch.
Email and notifications
If enabled, The Prayer Watch may send notifications relating to prayer vigils, Prayer Watch times, invitations, church activity or other account activity.
Notification preferences can be changed from your account settings.
Sharing of information
We do not intend to sell personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers required to operate The Prayer Watch, such as hosting, email delivery and technical infrastructure providers.
Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect users or respond to serious misuse of the platform.
