Privacy

No analytics. No trackers. No accounts.

RomanCatholic.ai runs no analytics, no advertising trackers, and no behavioral profiling. Come, read, pray, leave. Below is the small amount of information that still passes through, and how it is handled.

What Passes Through

What is collected.

Hosting and abuse prevention

Our hosting provider (Vercel) processes request information such as IP address, user agent, and the page requested to deliver and protect the site. RomanCatholic.ai also temporarily uses a request address signal to limit repeated form submissions. We do not use this information for advertising or visitor profiles.

Contact form submissions

If you write to us through the contact page, what you typed is sent through Resend (our transactional email provider) and lands in a personal Gmail inbox. We do not store form submissions in any database; the message simply becomes an email. Name and email are optional fields.

Dispatch signup requests

If you join The Dispatch, your email address and optional name are sent to Beehiiv, our newsletter platform, so your subscription can be managed there. The site does not create a RomanCatholic.ai account for you or store the signup in its own database.

Rosary and Novena progress

The Rosary and Novena tools keep your place on this device. A Novena intention also stays in your browser's local storage. Prayer progress and intentions are not sent to RomanCatholic.ai or tied to an account. You can remove them by clearing this site's stored data.

Parish Finder searches

The unfinished Parish Finder processes the city, ZIP, or address you type through our server and may send it to the U.S. Census Geocoder or Nominatim. If you choose “Use my location,” your browser sends coordinates to our parish search endpoint. We do not add searches or coordinates to the parish database, but our hosting provider may retain ordinary request logs used to deliver and protect the site.

Examination of Conscience

The examination of conscience tool runs entirely in your browser. The private list you build stays on your device — in the tab's session storage, or in local storage only if you choose to keep it — and is never sent to a server or tied to an account. You can clear it from the device at any time.

What Is Not Collected

None of this happens here.

  • We do not run web analytics scripts (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no PostHog, no Meta Pixel).
  • We do not place advertising trackers or third-party cookies.
  • We do not have an account system, login, or stored profile.
  • We do not collect names, email addresses, or payment information except through the contact and Dispatch forms, and only what you choose to type into them.
  • We do not add you to The Dispatch unless you submit the signup form.

Your Choices

You can stay anonymous.

  • Read this site without identifying yourself.
  • Disable JavaScript: most pages will still display correctly because the site is rendered as static HTML.
  • Clear this site's stored data whenever you want to remove saved Rosary, Novena, or examination progress from the device.
  • Use the unsubscribe link in a Dispatch email, or write through the contact form if you need help.

Children

This site is safe for young readers.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not show targeted advertising. For raising children well around technology, see the Catholic AI Guide for Families.
