Privacy Policy

Novena Regina operates novenaregina.com and the installable Novena Regina web app. 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, and account favorites.
• Email subscriptions: your email address, subscription status, confirmation and cancellation records, the novena selected, and its start date when you request novena reminders. Saint of the Day and other email signups store the email address and delivery history needed to provide those emails.
• 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.
• 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.
• Donations: Stripe collects and processes payment and billing information on its own checkout pages. 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.

• 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: favorites, prayer progress, a private confession preparation note, install-prompt choices, and similar preferences may be stored in your browser. The confession note stays on that device and is not sent to Novena Regina. Clearing site data in your browser removes these local records.
• 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;
• 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 donations and recurring donation instructions on Stripe-hosted checkout pages.
• 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 and Saint of the Day email subscriptions use email confirmation. You may cancel 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.

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.

Device-only information remains until you remove it through the site, clear the browser's site data, or uninstall the web app.

You may ask to access, correct, obtain, or delete personal information connected with you, or object to or limit certain uses where applicable. Send the 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 library may be read by people of any age, but accounts, email subscriptions, reminders, donations, 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.
