Public Visibility and Privacy PrayerRequest.com is a publicly accessible website. To help protect your privacy, we run an automated script designed to remove Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from all submissions. Because this identifying information is stripped out, the remaining content is anonymized and is no longer legally considered personal data. As a result, there is no need—and no legal requirement—to remove or restrict the general content once it is published. Therefore, prayer requests remain on the site permanently, and we do not process requests to delete individual posts.
By using the site, you acknowledge that any post you make is public without restriction. If you do not want your submissions permanently made public, please do not use the site.
Search Engines and Third-Party Sites Because this is a public forum, your posts can be seen by anyone and indexed by public search engines (like Google) or shared on social media. Once content is online, it is generally preserved in search engine caches indefinitely. We do not control these third-party companies or how quickly they update their search results. Even if identifying information is removed or an account is closed on our end, the original cached version may still show up on other sites until they refresh their own data.
Content License and Terms Using or posting to the site is a service with value provided to you at no monetary cost. In exchange, you grant the owners of PrayerRequest.com a permanent, irrevocable license to use, display, and distribute any materials you post ("User Content") across our site, search engines, social media, and email outlets. By posting, you warrant that you own the rights to the User Content or are authorized to share it.
Private Messages Unlike public prayer requests, private messages are not publicly viewable or indexed by search engines. They are, however, accessible to site administrators.
