Privacy Policy

Introduction

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use "A Simple Way to Pray" (the "Service").

Information We Collect

Account Information: If you choose to sign in, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture from your chosen identity provider (Google). This is used to create your user profile and personalize your experience.

Phone Number: If you choose to enable SMS reminders, we collect your phone number to send you the requested notifications.

Usage Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data, such as page visits and device type, to improve the Service. This helps us understand how the website is used without personally identifying individual visitors.
