Privacy Policy

Novena Regina operates novenaregina.com, the installable Novena Regina web app, and the native Novena Regina iOS and Android apps. Questions and privacy requests may be sent to hello@novenaregina.com.

• Account information: your name and email address when you create an account, plus hashed sign-in codes, session records, account favorites, and synced novena progress.
• Email subscriptions: your email address, subscription status, confirmation and cancellation records, the novena selected, and its start date when you request novena reminders. If you separately join Novena Regina Letters & Updates, the site also stores that choice, where the signup was offered, the consent version, and campaign delivery records needed to honor it. Earlier records may retain the separate update choices offered before September 3, 2026 so those permissions can continue to be honored.
• Push reminders: a browser-generated push endpoint and security keys, your time zone and reminder time, the type of reminder selected, and related novena progress needed to send the reminder you requested. The browser or operating system that provides push delivery also processes the notification subscription. Optional native Android and iPhone reminders are scheduled and stored on your device.
• Submissions and messages: prayer, novena, sermon, source, public witness, feedback, and correction information you submit; source links; and an optional reply email. Published submissions may be visible to the public after review.
• Support and gift fulfillment: Stripe collects and processes payment and billing information on its own checkout pages. Novena Regina may receive your name, email address, payment status, support level, subscription status, gift choice, United States shipping address, and fulfillment or tracking information. Novena Regina does not receive or store your full payment-card number.

Please do not send private prayer intentions, confession details, health records, financial account information, or other highly sensitive personal information through a submission, feedback box, or email to Novena Regina.

When you enter a Novena Regina giveaway, we store your name, email address, state, entry time, agreement to the rules and eligibility requirements, and any separate choice to receive email updates. Entries are private and accessible only to authorized administrators through our Cloudflare-hosted website.

Entering does not add you to a marketing audience. New email signups require a separate confirmation; existing email choices remain unchanged. We use giveaway details to administer the drawing and contact the selected winner. Only a selected winner is asked privately for a shipping address, which may be shared with the providers delivering the prize.

For the September 2026 giveaway, nonselected entry records are deleted by January 15, 2027. Drawing and selected-entrant records are retained until September 15, 2027. Any separate records legally needed for fulfillment or accounting follow the applicable retention requirements. Confirmed email subscriptions follow your separate email preferences.

Short-lived, keyed hashes of connection information limit repeated attempts. They expire within two hours and are cleared during entry processing or the next daily maintenance run. The giveaway entry table does not store raw IP addresses. Hosting providers may separately process request and security data as explained below.

Read the Official Rules for the prize, closing date, selection process, and limited winner-list disclosure. Contact hello@novenaregina.com for privacy requests.

• Basic request and security data: Cloudflare and the site may process an IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, timestamps, and security signals to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures.
• Unsuccessful searches: when a library search returns no result, the search words, page, browser description, and a shortened one-way hash of the IP address may be stored so the library can be improved and repeated automated requests can be limited.
• Device storage: bookmarks (previously favorites), Bible highlights and notes, prayer progress, a private confession preparation note, an optional last confession date, First Friday and First Saturday records, install-prompt choices, and similar preferences may be stored in your browser. When you save a prayer, litany, saint, or novena, a random device token may be sent with that save so the site can show anonymous aggregate popularity signals without counting the same device twice. The confession note stays on that device and is not sent to Novena Regina. The optional confession date and devotion checklists also stay on your device and are not uploaded to your account or sent as analytics. They are saved separately from preparation notes, so deleting those notes does not remove your saved date or devotion records. Bible highlights, notes and reading places also stay on the current device and are not uploaded to your account. Clearing site data in your browser removes these local records. Confession notes are temporary by default. In the browser, temporary notes expire after two hours. Choosing Keep on this device saves them after closing the browser or app, until you delete them or clear site data. Browser notes, confession dates, and devotion records are not encrypted. In the iPhone and Android apps, retained confession notes, confession dates and devotion records use protected, non-synchronizing device storage. They are kept separate from bookmarks and are never uploaded to your account. If you add devotion dates to a calendar, your calendar provider handles the public event dates and any alerts. Calendar files do not include your confession date or personal devotion checklists.
• Account progress sync: when you are signed in, the novena day and completion state may be saved to your account so you can continue on another device. Your private intention is not included in that sync.
• Daily saint email measurements: when a daily-saint invitation or signup form is seen or used, the site adds one to an aggregate daily count for that placement and step. The measurement table stores only the day, placement, step, and total count. It does not store an email address, IP address, device identifier, prayer choice, or individual page history. A temporary browser-session marker helps avoid counting the same invitation repeatedly in one tab.
• Planner and book measurements: using the Rosary calendar download, checklist print button, or an Amazon book link adds to a daily total for that action and its placement. The counter stores only the day, action, and count. It does not store your planning dates, intentions, email, IP address, device identifier, or individual history. The measurement request sends no account cookie or referring page. A short-lived connection hash held in server memory limits repeated requests. Aggregate subscription totals are calculated separately from existing confirmation records and are not linked to these clicks.
• Necessary cookies: a secure session cookie is used when you sign in. It keeps an account session for up to 30 days. The administrative area uses a separate 24-hour cookie. These cookies are necessary for sign-in and are not used for advertising.

Novena Regina uses information only as reasonably needed to:

• provide accounts, favorites, reminders, requested emails, and downloads;
• send Letters & Updates, which may include the monthly Letter, seasonal notes, and direct support requests, only when you separately join and confirm the list;
• process voluntary support and manage recurring support or cancellation requests;
• fulfill and track physical thank-you gifts and respond to delivery questions;
• review submissions and respond to questions, corrections, or support requests;
• maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the library;
• prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access; and
• comply with applicable law and protect the rights and safety of users and others.

Novena Regina does not sell personal information. It does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising, and it does not use devotional choices to build an advertising profile.

Information is disclosed only as needed for the following purposes:

• Cloudflare provides hosting, database, content delivery, image delivery, network security, and related infrastructure.
• Resend processes recipient addresses, message content, and delivery information to send requested account codes, guides, reminders, and email updates.
• Stripe processes voluntary support and recurring payment instructions on Stripe-hosted checkout pages.
• USPS or another shipping carrier receives the recipient name, shipping address, and tracking information needed to deliver a physical thank-you.
• Browser and operating-system push services process push subscriptions and deliver notifications when you enable them.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to investigate abuse or security incidents, or in connection with a transfer of the site or its operations. Novena Regina does not permit service providers to use information received from the site for Novena Regina advertising.

Novena reminders, Saint of the Day emails, and optional update emails use email confirmation. A prayer reminder signup does not place you on the Letters & Updates list. That optional list may include the monthly Letter, seasonal notes, and direct support requests. Earlier separate category choices remain in effect for people who joined before the list was combined. Every campaign includes links to manage the subscription or unsubscribe from all optional updates.

You may cancel reminder emails from the link included in those emails. You may disable push notifications in the Reminders page or in your browser or device settings. You may also email hello@novenaregina.com for help with any subscription.

In the Android app, open Profile using the person icon, sign in, then choose Delete my account. In the iPhone app, open the profile screen and choose the account deletion option.

If you cannot use the app, email hello@novenaregina.com from your account's email address with the subject Delete my Novena Regina account. We may verify ownership before completing the request.

Deletion removes your account, sessions, sign-in codes, account bookmarks, synced novena progress, and account-linked web push subscriptions. Submitted content is unlinked from your account. Saved prayers, Bible notes, reading preferences, guest progress, and reminders stored only on your phone have separate local controls. Email subscriptions have their own unsubscribe links; include them in your request if you want those records removed too. The retention exceptions below apply.

A signed-in user may permanently delete the Novena Regina account from the profile screen in the native Android or iPhone app. Account deletion removes the account, active sessions, verification codes, saved favorites, synced novena progress, and account-linked web push subscriptions. Separately confirmed email subscriptions are managed through their own unsubscribe controls and are not changed by deleting the app account.

Account and submission records are kept while the account or submission remains active and as needed to operate the library. Active email and push subscriptions are kept while the requested service remains enabled. Cancellation and delivery records, security records, backups, and records needed for legal or fraud-prevention purposes may be kept for a reasonable period afterward. Expired sign-in records and routine operational records are removed or de-identified when they are no longer needed.

Payment and fulfillment records may be kept as reasonably needed for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, and dispute handling. Shipping addresses and tracking information are kept only as reasonably needed to fulfill the gift, document delivery, handle a delivery or replacement question, and comply with applicable law.

Device-only information remains until you remove it through the website or app, clear the browser's site data, cancel the related device setting, or uninstall the web or native app.

You may ask to access, correct, obtain, or delete personal information connected with you, or object to or limit certain uses where applicable. Native Android and iPhone users can delete a signed-in account directly from the profile screen. You may also send a request from the email address connected with the information to hello@novenaregina.com. Novena Regina may need to verify your identity before completing a request and may retain information when permitted or required by law. You will not be discriminated against for making a privacy request.

Because the site does not sell personal information or use it for cross-site targeted advertising, there is no sale or advertising opt-out required for those activities.

Novena Regina does not currently use advertising cookies, third-party behavioral analytics, or technology that tracks visitors across unrelated websites. Because the site does not perform that cross-site tracking, a browser Do Not Track signal does not change how the site operates. Other parties do not collect personal information on Novena Regina for their own cross-site advertising through embedded trackers.

The email campaign dashboard records whether the email provider accepted or rejected a message. Novena Regina does not currently add tracking pixels or individualized click tracking to Letters & Updates.

The Android closed-testing release uses a neutral age-group choice before optional account features or website and contact links. This choice stays on your phone and is not sent to Novena Regina. Readers under 13 can use the prayer and reading library, local saved prayers, and device reminders without submitting a name or email address. The account form and external links are unavailable in that setting.

The library may be read by people of any age, but accounts, email subscriptions, reminders, support, and content-submission features are not directed to children under 13. A child under 13 should not provide personal information through the site. If you believe a child under 13 provided personal information, contact hello@novenaregina.com so it can be removed.

Novena Regina uses reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including encrypted connections, access controls, hashed account and subscription tokens, and limited service-provider access. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

The site is operated from the United States, and information may be processed in the United States or other places where service providers operate. Privacy laws in those places may differ from the laws where you live.

Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. When a change materially affects an active email or account service, an additional notice may be provided through the site or by email when appropriate.

Email privacy questions or requests to hello@novenaregina.com. You may also read the Terms of Use.
