Privacy Policy

Plainly, what we collect, why we collect it, and who we share it with. We keep it to the minimum needed to help you prepare faithful homilies.

Last updated: [DATE — set by owner]

This is a starting template and should be reviewed by legal counsel before relying on it.

This Privacy Policy explains how [Legal entity name] (“we,” “us,” or “Catholic Homily Builder”) handles information when you use catholichomily.com and our related services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Email address. Provided when you request a free homily (our lead capture) or when you create an account and sign in.
Account and usage data. Basic account details and usage information such as how many homilies you generate, plan status, and related counts used to enforce free and paid limits.
Homily inputs and outputs. The readings, notes, and preferences you submit, and the drafts generated in response, so we can deliver the Service.
Basic analytics. Standard technical and usage information (such as pages visited and general device/browser data) to understand how the Service is used and to improve it.

How we use your information

To deliver homilies and reflections and operate the Service.
To create and manage your account and enforce plan limits.
To process subscriptions and payments (through Stripe).
To send transactional email such as your homily, sign-in links, and account notices (through Resend).
To maintain, secure, and improve the Service through basic analytics.

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the Service. Each processes only the data needed for its function:

Supabase — database and secure storage of account and usage data.
Anthropic (Claude) — AI generation of homily drafts from your inputs.
Stripe — payment and subscription processing.
Resend — transactional email delivery.
Vercel — application hosting and delivery.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for essential functions only: to keep you signed in (your authentication session) and to remember whether you have unlocked your free homily. We do not use them for advertising.

Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. To make a request, email us at hello@catholichomily.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children's privacy

The Service is intended for adults in ministry and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
