Privacy Policy
My Family Rosary · AMDG Productions · Effective October 7, 2026
Plain language, on purpose. My Family Rosary is built by three Catholic friends for our families and yours. This policy is written to actually be read. If anything here is unclear, please write to us and we will explain it.
This policy explains what information My Family Rosary collects, why, and what control you have over it. It covers our iOS app and this website (myfamilyrosary.com).
The short version
- We collect what we need to run the app: your account, your family group, and the prayers you record.
- Your voice recordings belong to your family. We do not sell them, and we do not use them to train anyone’s AI voice models.
- We never sell personal information to anyone.
- You can export or delete your recordings at any time, and we honor that even if you stop paying us.
- You can delete your whole account yourself, right in the app: Account → Delete account.
Who we are
My Family Rosary is operated by AMDG Productions. You can reach us at hello@myfamilyrosary.com for any privacy question, or to request access to or deletion of your information.
What we collect
Account information
When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and profile photo if you add one. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information from them. We use Firebase Authentication (Google) to manage sign-in; we never see or store your password.
Voice recordings: the heart of the app
My Family Rosary works by letting your family record prayers in your own voices. Those audio recordings are stored in Google Firebase Storage, associated with your family group. We use them to:
- assemble and play back your family’s Rosary or Chaplet;
- clean up background noise and normalize the silence before and after speech (automated audio processing);
- align the words to the audio using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, so the read-along text can follow along as the prayer plays.
We do not sell your recordings, share them for advertising, or use them to train third-party AI voice models. If we ever offer voice cloning (creating a synthetic voice from recordings), it will be strictly opt-in, explained separately at the time, and require the consent of the person whose voice it is or their parent or guardian.
Family group information
The name and photo of your family group, who belongs to it, invitations you send, and your prayer settings. My Family Rosary also lets you add “local” members: relatives who do not have accounts, such as a grandparent whose voice you record. For those people we store only the name you give them and their recordings.
Prayer activity
Streaks, completed rosaries, listening time, and badges earned. These power the streaks, the family leaderboard, and the Mary Garden. They are visible to members of your family group.
If you signed up for our beta
If you signed up for our beta on this website, we keep the name and email address you gave us, and your mobile number, parish and interests if you shared them. We use them only to tell you about My Family Rosary. You agreed to hear from us, so we may email you about the app; you can stop at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email, replying STOP to any text, or writing to us (message and data rates may apply). This sign-up is kept separately from any app account; to have it removed, write to us.
Technical information
Basic device and app information needed to operate and troubleshoot the service, such as app version, device type, and error reports.
Children’s privacy
My Family Rosary is designed for families to use together, and that means children’s voices are often recorded. This is intentional and it is precious, and it means we take particular care.
- My Family Rosary is intended to be set up and managed by a parent or guardian, who creates the family group and controls who is in it.
- A parent or guardian recording a child, or inviting a child to record, is providing consent on that child’s behalf.
- We do not knowingly allow a child under 13 to create their own independent account.
- A parent or guardian may review or delete a child’s recordings at any time in the app, or by writing to us.
- We do not use children’s recordings for anything other than assembling that family’s own prayers.
Who we share information with
We share information only with the service providers who help us run the app, and only so they can perform that work for us:
- Google / Firebase: sign-in, database, file storage, hosting, cloud functions, speech-to-text alignment, and text-to-speech placeholder voices.
- Apple: sign-in with Apple, app distribution, and any purchases made through the App Store.
- RevenueCat: keeps track of App Store memberships (Family and Legacy). It receives your account’s anonymous ID and your purchase history from Apple; never your recordings.
- Stripe: card payments for Business Directory listings. It receives the listing’s contact name and email and processes the payment; we never see card numbers.
- Resend: sends our emails (welcome messages, directory payment links).
- Printify: our shop. If you buy a keepsake, you check out on Printify’s store, under its own privacy policy.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with advertisers. We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect someone’s safety.
When you offer a rosary for someone or invite a family member, the message is composed in your own Mail or Messages app and sent by you. We do not send it or keep a copy of the recipient’s contact details.
Your rights and choices
- Access: ask us what we hold about you.
- Correction: fix your account details in the app or ask us.
- Export: your recordings are yours. You can export your own recorded audio, and that stays true whether or not you have a paid subscription.
- Deletion: delete individual recordings in the app, or delete your whole account in the app under Account → Delete account (you can also ask us to do it for you).
If you are in California, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know, delete, correct, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share it. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection; our lawful bases are performing our contract with you, your consent (for recordings and marketing messages), and our legitimate interest in operating and improving the app. To exercise any of these, write to hello@myfamilyrosary.com.
How long we keep things
We keep your account and recordings for as long as your account exists, because that is the point: these are meant to be a keepsake. If you delete a recording it is removed from our active systems, and from backups in the normal course of their rotation.
Deleting your account. You can delete your account at any time in the app, under Account → Delete account. When you do, we immediately delete:
- your account, profile and photo, and your prayer activity;
- every prayer you recorded, in every family you belong to;
- any family you own where you are the only member, with all of its recordings (including those of relatives you recorded for).
A family you own that has other members is handed to the member who has been in it longest, so the rest of your family keeps praying together; prayers you recorded for relatives without the app and the “Whole family” recordings stay with that family. Business Directory listings you submitted stay published as the business’s listing, but are no longer linked to you. If you signed in with Apple, we also revoke this app’s access to your Apple ID. Deleted information leaves our backups in the normal course of their rotation, and we keep only what we must for legal or accounting reasons.
Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Apple bills it, not us. To stop being charged, cancel it in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad. Anything you gave us on this website, rather than in the app, is kept separately from your app account; to remove it, write to us.
Security
Your information is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure, protected in transit by encryption and restricted by security rules so that only members of your own family group can reach your family’s content. No system is perfect, but we take this seriously: these are your family’s voices.
Where information is processed
We are based in the United States and our service providers process information in the United States. If you use My Family Rosary from elsewhere, your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top, and for anything significant we will tell you in the app or by email.
