What we collect

A random visitor number is kept in a browser cookie (not linked to a name or contact). When you light a candle or add an intention, only that number, the category and the time are stored. If you stay to the end of Mass, the number and the Mass time are stored to count attendance. Free text you write is never sent anywhere.

Kept on this device only

Your avatar look, sound and graphics settings, confession-preparation marks and notes, and the prayer record (when not signed in) live only in browser storage. Clearing browser data removes them.

Signing in

Kakao or Google sign-in is optional. It ties your prayer record to an account so you can see it on other devices. Only the nickname and profile picture address given by the provider are stored.

What others can see

People present at the same time see your assigned name (for example Pilgrim 17), your avatar, your seat and posture. They also see lit candles and intention counts, but not who lit them.

Retention and deletion

Candles expire after 24 hours and intention counts are used per day only. Deleting the visitor cookie unlinks past records from you. Send deletion requests to the contact below.
