Effective Date

August 31, 2026. This page describes the implemented product behavior and must be reviewed by qualified counsel before paid access is enabled.

What Amen Collects

• Account information such as email, display name, and Firebase user ID.
• Chat content sent for an AI response, plus prayers, notes, Bible Study saves, Journey progress, reviews, and wrap-up text that you choose to store.
• Plan, subscription, and billing status from Stripe. Amen does not store full card numbers.
• A random guest cookie and hashed device/network signals needed for security, rate limits, abuse prevention, and service reliability.

How Amen Uses Data

Amen uses your data to provide the app, save content you request, enforce plan limits, process subscriptions, respond to support/privacy requests, improve reliability, and protect the service from abuse. Amen does not write your full chat transcript to Firestore as long-term AI memory.

Your current conversation and unsent draft are saved on this browser under your account for up to seven days after use. Signing out or starting a new conversation clears that browser copy. This does not delete prayers or notes you saved separately.

AI and Sensitive Faith Records

Chat text is sent to the configured AI provider to answer that request. Reusing stored prayers, notes, studies, or Journey records for a Guardian review is off by default. A review uses only records you check immediately before generation. Turning consent off deletes Amen's personalization summary and prevents later use.

Service Providers

Amen may use Firebase for authentication and storage, Stripe for payments, Anthropic for AI responses, Netlify for hosting/functions, and public Bible passage services for permitted Bible text lookup.

Your Choices

You can change your Christian tradition and AI consent, export the data available to your plan, delete individual notes or prayers, and cancel a paid subscription in the billing portal. Account Settings also creates an authenticated deletion request. A verified deletion erases Firebase account content and authentication, removes the Stripe customer where possible, and anonymizes legally retained payment/audit evidence.

Subscription Data Retention

When a paid subscription ends, scheduled premium data receives a 30-day export and resubscription window. Amen displays the deletion date, cancels cleanup if you resubscribe, and then removes AI drafts, Deep Study, Guardian reviews, Guided Study progress, and notes beyond the newest 20. User-written Prayer Journal entries and completed Journey badges remain readable/exportable unless you delete the account.

Contact and Legal Review

Privacy and billing questions: support@amen.rest. Applicable regional disclosures, lawful bases, age requirements, transfer terms, and statutory retention periods must be finalized with counsel for the merchant's actual country before launch.

Use of Amen

Amen is a Christian reflection and study companion. It provides AI-generated faith reflection, prayer tools, Bible reading, notes, goals, and subscription features.

Not Professional Care

Amen is not therapy, medical care, emergency support, legal advice, financial advice, or a replacement for church, pastoral care, or licensed professionals. If you may harm yourself or others, call or text 988 in the United States or contact local emergency services now.

AI Content

AI responses may be incomplete or wrong. Use discernment, compare spiritual guidance with Scripture, and seek trusted human counsel for serious decisions.

Subscriptions

There is no free trial. Paid plans renew until canceled. Upgrades are applied with immediate prorated invoicing after successful payment; downgrades and annual-to-monthly changes are scheduled for the next renewal. Taxes may be added by Stripe based on your billing location. Plan access depends on successful payment and the limits shown in the app. Amen may change features or limits prospectively with legally required notice.

Merchant and Support

Billing and refund support: support@amen.rest

Acceptable Use

Do not misuse Amen, attempt to bypass limits, reverse engineer the service, upload unlawful content, harass others, or use the app for emergency response.

Cancellation

You can cancel a paid plan through the billing portal when subscriptions are live. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically refund past charges.

Refunds

Refunds are available for verified duplicate charges, billing errors, or clear paid-access failures. Change-of-mind requests are normally handled by canceling the next renewal. Mandatory consumer rights still apply. Contact support@amen.rest.

Plan Access

After cancellation, paid access generally remains available until the end of the current billing period unless the payment provider or account status requires otherwise.

Offering / Support Payments

Offering payments are voluntary support purchases processed by Stripe. They are not tax-deductible charitable donations. Applicable tax may be calculated at checkout.

Emergency Help

If you are in immediate danger or may harm yourself or someone else, call emergency services now. In the United States, call or text 988 for suicide and crisis support.

Spiritual Boundaries

Amen offers scripture-grounded reflection and AI-generated encouragement. It should not be treated as the voice of God, a guaranteed spiritual outcome, or a replacement for prayer, Scripture, church, or trusted human counsel.

Mental Health

Amen does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide professional mental health care. For depression, trauma, abuse, addiction, self-harm, or crisis situations, seek qualified professional help.

Use Discernment

AI can make mistakes. For serious relationship, financial, legal, medical, safety, or spiritual decisions, talk with a qualified professional, pastor, mentor, or trusted person in your community.
