Your information deserves care.

Faithful Decisions is operated by Rama Douglas. This notice covers the free and paid automated assistant, account access, payments, and privacy requests. An appendix below explains earlier interest, research, and formation-program records. Using the assistant does not enroll you in a cohort or subscribe you to marketing.

Your messages and AI processing

When you send a message or prepare a brief, your situation, conversation history, relevant saved brief, and retrieved source passages are sent to OpenAI to generate a response. The same processing applies to the free conversation and paid conversations. The assistant is automated and may make mistakes. Use roles instead of names and omit confidential, privileged, identifying, health, or financial-account information.

We request that generated responses not be retained as API conversation objects. This is not a promise of zero retention by service providers: their abuse-monitoring and other applicable retention practices may still apply. See OpenAI’s API data information.

Prepared public examples do not generate personalized AI answers. Reading an example does not submit a situation to OpenAI. If you request an example download, the example selection and any optional commitment or review date are sent to our server to prepare a file; those fields are not saved to an account or used for AI generation. Downloads are saved on your own device.

Saved work, evidence, and deletion

We save conversation messages, assistant replies, the resulting brief, source-collection version, next step, chosen review date, status, and outcome in a database linked to your account. A private evidence record saves the retrieved passages, search terms derived from your messages, selected citations, and a short note of source use. This evidence is linked to your decision and deleted with that decision.

You can revisit, export, print, and delete saved work in your workspace. Saved conversations and decisions remain until you delete them or ask us to delete them, including after paid access expires. Deleting a decision does not delete your account or all transaction, security, or allowance records. To request access, correction, or deletion of other account information, use the form below.

Request counts, token counts, and estimated API costs are recorded to enforce usage limits and measure delivery costs. These usage records contain account and decision identifiers, but not message content. Transaction, security, usage, and consent records may remain where needed to operate the service, prevent misuse, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Backups and provider records may persist under their retention practices.

The owner and authorized service providers may access stored information when necessary to operate, support, or protect the service; these records are not end-to-end encrypted. Your information is not automatically shared with an employer, pastor, or leadership group. Review dates do not trigger automatic email or calendar messages.

Email sign-in

Resend delivers a one-time code to your email address. The message contains a sign-in code, never your decisions or conversation. We keep your verified email linked to your account. Codes expire after ten minutes and have a limited number of attempts. We store a protected code verifier and a browser-binding verifier, not a readable code. An essential secure, HTTP-only cookie identifies your session for up to seven days; signing out revokes that session.

For abuse prevention, we keep short-lived, keyed fingerprints of the email and network address used to request codes. Expired sign-in and rate-limit records are removed in bounded batches as new codes are requested. Resend may retain delivery logs under its own retention practices. These separate security records are not the anonymous daily service totals described below.

Email sign-in is not marketing consent. If you have an earlier account, connecting email sign-in requires both that existing sign-in and an email code; matching email text alone does not transfer saved work or paid access. Operator administration continues to require the existing owner sign-in.

Free access and payments

We keep the terms version you accept and account-linked records of your free allowance and its use. Deleting the free conversation does not delete or reset those allowance records; they prevent repeated free trials. The free conversation requires no payment card and does not become a paid plan automatically.

Stripe processes purchases and refunds. We store account-linked order references, verified payment status, package dates, accepted terms version, and usage allowances. We do not store your card number or security code. Separately granted complimentary access records identify the authorized account and expiration date; they are not paid orders and may be revoked.

Quality improvement

We keep daily totals of automated quality scores. These totals do not contain your name, account or decision identifiers, messages, or other personal details. They are fallible automated assessments, not human review. Our improvement research uses fictional examples and general lessons rather than copying customer conversations into a research library.

Understanding how the service is used

We count fixed service events in daily totals to understand whether people reach steps such as sign-in, trying the assistant, and checkout. These totals measure events, not unique people or a tracked person’s journey. The measurement records contain only the day, a predefined event name, and its count. They do not include account or decision identifiers, email addresses, network addresses, messages, full URLs, referral data, browser fingerprints, or arbitrary extra information.

These counters use no advertising cookies and do not add a third-party analytics service. The essential sign-in cookie and separate security records described above still apply.

Service providers and disclosure

We use service providers for website hosting, secure access, data storage, email delivery, AI processing, payment processing, and administrative support. The website is published through OpenAI Sites and runs on Cloudflare Workers; account records, saved work, and service records are stored in Cloudflare D1 databases. OpenAI also generates assistant responses, Resend delivers sign-in messages, and Stripe processes payments. These providers process the information needed for their respective roles. We do not sell your information or use it for advertising, publish your private conversations, or add them to the teaching library.

We may disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect people and the service. We do not provide participant lists to churches, employers, or unrelated commercial partners. There is no human adviser or personal review of each reply included in assistant access.

Your choices and requests

You may ask to access, correct, or delete your information, or withdraw permission for further contact. We may need to verify that you control the email address tied to the account or earlier request. Account-wide requests are handled through this process; deleting a saved decision does not itself close your account. You can also contact ramadouglas@gmail.com.

Updates

We will update the effective date when this notice changes and provide appropriate notice of material changes. Materially different uses of personal information will require any additional notice or permission required by law.
