Sermon recordings and notes you upload are processed using third-party AI services (Anthropic for content generation, Deepgram for transcription). Your content is:

• Sent to these providers solely for processing and is not used to train their AI models.
• Stored temporarily during processing and retained in our cloud storage (Cloudflare R2) for your continued access.
• Deletable at your request — you may delete any sermon and its generated outputs at any time.

We do not sell, license, or distribute your sermon content to third parties.

We share data with the following service providers as necessary:

• Account data: Retained while your account is active and for 30 days after deletion.
• Sermon content: Retained until you delete it or close your account.
• Payment records: Retained as required by tax and financial regulations (typically 7 years).
• Server logs: Retained for 90 days.

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS), encrypted storage, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for authentication, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., church branding settings).

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not participate in ad networks or sell data to advertisers.
