Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Pday ("we," "us," or "our") provides a mobile application that transforms missionary emails into visual updates for family, friends, and community members. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Pday app and related services.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create a Pday account, we collect your name, email address, and optionally a profile photo.

Missionary profiles. Family administrators can create profiles for missionaries, including names, mission details, and photos.

Email content. Pday processes emails that are forwarded or CC'd to addresses at @mail.pday.app. This includes the email text, any attached photos, and audio files. These emails are used to generate posters, summaries, maps, timelines, and other visual content within the app.

Photos and media. Users may upload photos and audio files directly within the app.

Usage data. We collect standard analytics data such as app interactions, device type, operating system version, and crash reports to improve the service.

Purchase information. If you subscribe or make in-app purchases, payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your payment card details.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate and provide the Pday service, including generating AI-powered posters, summaries, scores, event extraction, and other content from missionary emails
• To display content to authorized followers within the app
• To send email updates to missionaries on behalf of their families
• To display advertisements to free-tier users
• To improve, maintain, and troubleshoot the service
• To respond to support requests

3. AI Processing

Pday uses artificial intelligence to process email content and generate visual updates, summaries, and other features. This processing happens on our servers and through trusted third-party AI services. The content is processed solely to provide Pday's features and is not used to train general-purpose AI models.

4. How We Store and Protect Your Data

Your data is stored on Google Cloud Platform (Firebase/Firestore) with industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest. We restrict access to personal data to personnel who need it to operate, develop, or improve our services.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Within the app: Content you share is visible to the followers and family members you or your family administrator have authorized.
• Service providers: We use third-party services (cloud hosting, AI processing, analytics, advertising) that process data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations.
• Advertising partners: For free-tier users, ad networks may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve relevant ads. You can limit ad tracking in your device settings.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You can:

• Access, update, or delete your account information through the app's settings
• Request a copy of your data by contacting us
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of promotional communications

7. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. As noted above, we do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at support@pday.app.

8. Children's Privacy

Pday is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@pday.app and we will delete it promptly.

9. International Users

If you are accessing Pday from outside the United States, please be aware that your information is transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the app, you consent to this transfer. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy. Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to access, rectification, erasure, and data portability. Contact us to exercise these rights.

10. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or by email. Your continued use of Pday after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
