Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 17, 2026
1. Introduction
Sermon Coach (“we,” “our,” or “the Service”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our sermon coaching platform.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address
- Display name (optional)
- Password (stored securely via hashing — we never see your plaintext password)
Sermon Manuscripts
When you submit a sermon for analysis, we process the full text of your manuscript. Before AI processing, personally identifiable information (names, locations, specific dates) may be masked to protect the privacy of individuals mentioned in your sermons.
Usage Data
We automatically collect:
- Number of analyses performed (for rate limiting)
- Timestamps of interactions
- Basic analytics data (page views, feature usage)
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide AI-powered sermon coaching feedback
- To maintain your sermon history and analysis records
- To enforce usage limits and prevent abuse
- To improve the Service and coaching quality
- To communicate important updates about the Service
4. How Sermons Are Processed
Your sermon manuscripts are sent to a third-party AI provider for analysis. The AI processes your text to generate coaching feedback across multiple dimensions. We implement PII masking to strip identifiable information before AI processing where possible.
We do not use your sermon content to train AI models. Your sermons are processed solely for the purpose of generating your coaching feedback.
5. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a trusted cloud database platform. We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
- Row-level security policies on all database tables
- Secure password hashing
- Environment-variable-based secrets management
6. Cookies & Tracking
We use essential cookies for authentication (session tokens). We may use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data to help improve the Service. You can opt out of analytics tracking using browser extensions or settings.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- AI processing providers — to generate sermon coaching feedback (with PII masking applied)
- Supabase — our database and authentication provider
- Analytics providers — anonymized usage data only
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the Service.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data and sermon history
- Delete your account and all associated data
- Export your sermon analyses
- Correct inaccurate account information
- Opt out of non-essential communications

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right to request its deletion.
10. Data Retention
We retain your account information and sermon data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data and sermon manuscripts within 30 days. Some anonymized, aggregated data may be retained for analytics purposes.
11. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
