Information Prayer Ledger handles
The app can store prayer text and titles, emotions, categories, reflections, answers, dates, status, events, scripture and reading progress, preferences, voice-recording metadata and transcriptions, and optional Apple identity session information. The content can reveal religious beliefs, emotional state, health, relationships, or other sensitive details.
CloudKit, Apple identity, and audio
Prayer entries, events, categories, and transcriptions can synchronize through CloudKit. Original voice audio is stored locally and may not be available on another device even when its text syncs. Optional Sign in with Apple can provide an Apple user identifier and, when Apple supplies them, a name or relay email stored locally. Apple processes CloudKit, identity, speech, and App Store services under its terms.
Permissions and transcription
Voice capture uses Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions; reminders use notifications. The app requests on-device speech recognition where supported. When on-device recognition is unavailable for the selected language or device, Apple's speech framework may use online processing. Transcriptions are automated and can contain errors.
Retention, trash, and account deletion
Entries in trash remain until restored or deleted forever. Delete Account removes prayer entries, reflections, attached voice recordings, sign-in session information, scheduled reminders, and certain support state from this device. Reading-plan progress and some preferences may remain locally until you reset them or remove the app and its data. If iCloud sync is active, deletion of synced journal records uses normal CloudKit propagation and may take time. Copies already exported or shared remain outside Prayer Ledger.
Website analytics
Prayer Ledger's page on brentgaddis.com uses first-party, aggregate website analytics operated through Cloudflare. The site counts page views and allowlisted actions such as opening an App Store, support, or privacy link; it also keeps coarse source, country, device, browser, operating-system, engagement, performance, and reliability totals. It does not store raw event rows, visitor or session identities, IP or hashed-IP identifiers, cookie or local-storage visitor IDs, full user agents, full referrers or URLs, form contents, arbitrary text, or a person's raw click history. Country and source cells below five are suppressed, and aggregates are retained for up to 24 months. Cloudflare still processes request and network metadata as necessary to deliver and protect the site. These website measurements are separate from the app.
