Terms of Use

Last updated: September 26, 2026

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using Faithlocked ("the App") on iOS or Android, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Service Description

Faithlocked is a faith-focused screen-time app that helps you spend less time on distracting apps and more time in prayer. The App provides:

• App blocking via Apple's Screen Time framework (FamilyControls) on iOS, and via Android's Accessibility service or Usage access on Android.
• Guided prayers generated on demand, paired with scripture references.
• Blocking rules with schedules and selectable app categories.
• Temporary unlock sessions earned by completing a prayer.
• Streaks and prayer history stored locally on your device.
• A Bible reader, daily verses, and home-screen and lock-screen widgets.
• An optional Community: prayer requests, posts, notes, reactions, a live chat room, and public profiles.

An active subscription and the relevant blocking permissions for your platform are required for full functionality. Faithlocked blocks apps only — it does not block websites or web content.

3. Accounts

Blocking, prayers, the Bible reader, and your history need no account: that data is stored on your device.

The Community is the exception. Reading it creates an anonymous Firebase Authentication session so the app can talk to the server; posting, commenting, reacting, or chatting requires a permanent account, created with Sign in with Apple on iOS or Google Sign-In on Android, in each case through Firebase Authentication. Your account holds a display name, an optional bio, an optional avatar, and your prayer streak — see our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for what is posted from your account, and you can delete it at any time from within the App.

4. Subscriptions

4.1 Requirement

An active subscription is required to access all features. Weekly, monthly, and yearly plans may be offered.

4.2 Billing

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID (iOS) or your Google Play account (Android) at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends, at the same price unless the store notifies you otherwise.

4.3 Management & Cancellation

• Manage subscriptions in iOS Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions, or on Android in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• No refunds for unused portions of a subscription period.
• When a subscription expires, prayer-locked app blocking features will be disabled.

4.4 Free Trial

Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. After the trial expires, continued use requires a subscription.

4.5 Refunds

All purchases are processed by the store you bought from — Apple on iOS, Google Play on Android. Refund requests must be made through that store, not through us, and all purchases are final unless the store's refund policy permits otherwise.

4.6 Refund Requests & Consumption Data

If we receive a refund request for an in-app purchase, we may provide Apple — through our subscription management provider, RevenueCat — with information about your in-app purchase activity so Apple can make an informed decision. This may include details such as the time since app installation, total app usage time, an anonymized account identifier, whether the in-app purchase was fully consumed, whether it included a trial period, the total amount spent, and the total amount refunded. By accepting these Terms, you consent to this data sharing. You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at support@faithlocked.app, after which we will no longer share this data with Apple for your future refund requests. This section applies to App Store purchases only; Google Play refunds are decided by Google and we share no consumption data with Google.

5. App Blocking Permissions

By granting the blocking permissions the App requests, you acknowledge that:

• The App can block selected apps on your device.
• Blocked apps are unlocked by completing a prayer or by your configured rule schedule.
• We are not responsible for missed notifications, messages, or calls from blocked apps.
• Granting these permissions is optional, and you can revoke them at any time — see below.

5.1 iOS

Blocking uses Apple Screen Time (FamilyControls). You can revoke access at any time in Settings > Screen Time.

5.2 Android

Blocking uses Android's Accessibility service or Usage access to detect which app you bring to the foreground, a foreground service to stay active, and the "display over other apps" permission to show the prayer screen above a blocked app. The App reads only the package name of the foreground app — never your screen contents, messages, or anything you type — and that information never leaves your device. You can revoke each permission in Android Settings (Accessibility, Special app access > Usage access, and Special app access > Display over other apps). Because Android lets manufacturers and battery-optimisation settings stop background services, blocking may be delayed or interrupted on some devices; excluding Faithlocked from battery optimisation reduces this.

6. Prayer Generation

Prayers are generated by Google Gemini via our authenticated proxy. By using prayer features, you acknowledge that:

• Prayer text is generated by an AI model and may occasionally contain inaccuracies.
• Scripture references are validated against an on-device verse library.
• Prayers are provided for personal devotional use and do not constitute religious counsel, doctrine, or pastoral guidance.
• The service may be temporarily unavailable due to rate limits or upstream outages.

7. Community and User-Generated Content

The Community lets you publish prayer requests and posts, leave notes on other people's posts, react to them, and take part in a live chat room. Anything you publish there is visible to other users of the App. This section is the agreement you accept before your first post.

7.1 What you may not post

You agree not to post, send, or upload content that:

• Harasses, threatens, bullies, or incites violence against anyone.
• Is hateful or discriminatory on the basis of religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
• Is sexually explicit, obscene, or pornographic.
• Depicts or encourages self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or illegal drug use.
• Is spam, advertising, solicitation, fundraising, or a scam.
• Impersonates another person, or publishes someone else's private information.
• Infringes copyright, trademark, or any other right.
• Shows an identifiable person who has not agreed to appear, or any image of a child you are not the parent or guardian of. Your profile photo must be of you, or an image you are entitled to use.
• Is unlawful where you are.

Faithlocked is a prayer space. Honest disagreement is welcome; abuse dressed as faith is not.

7.2 Zero tolerance

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and for abusive users. Content that breaks 7.1 is removed, and the account behind it may be suspended or permanently banned, without prior notice and without a refund of any unused subscription time. Severe or repeated violations result in a permanent ban.

7.3 Moderation

Every post, note, and chat message passes an automatic word filter before it is published: what the filter catches is blocked and never reaches anyone else. Every profile photo is checked automatically before anyone else can see it — until that check returns, the photo is visible only to you. Text that clears the filter is published immediately, and a person reviews the community daily. Reported content is reviewed as it arrives, normally within 24 hours, and we may remove anything that breaks these Terms.

7.4 Reporting and blocking

Every post, note, chat message, and profile carries a report action, and you can block any user; a blocked user's content disappears for you in both directions, and blocks can be undone from the blocked list in Edit profile. We act on reports of objectionable content and abusive users as fast as we can — removing the content, banning the account, or both. You can follow the status of the reports you filed inside the App. Report abuse from inside the App, or write to support@faithlocked.app.

7.5 Your content stays yours

You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you grant Faithlocked a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, and distribute that content within the App so that we can show it to other users. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies held in routine backups or kept because the law requires it.

7.6 Posting anonymously

A prayer request or post can be published anonymously: your name and avatar are hidden from other users. It is not hidden from us — moderation and enforcement still see who wrote it.

7.7 Chat is temporary

Live chat messages are deleted automatically 7 days after they are sent. Posts, notes, and reactions stay until you delete them or your account.

7.8 Leaving

You can delete your account at any time from the App's settings. That removes your profile, posts, notes, reactions, and chat messages. Deleting your account, being blocked, or being banned does not entitle you to a refund; subscriptions are billed by the store (Section 4).

7.9 Decisions, reasons, and how to contest them

If we remove something you posted, block your profile photo, or suspend your account, we tell you inside the App: what was affected, why, which rule of Section 7.1 it broke, and whether the decision was taken automatically or by a person. You can contest any of those decisions by writing to support@faithlocked.app. You can also bring the matter before an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Article 21 of the DSA, or before the courts.

8. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Use the App in accordance with all applicable laws.
• Follow the Community rules in Section 7 whenever you post, comment, or chat.
• Not attempt to circumvent app blocking through unauthorized methods.
• Not reverse-engineer, decompile, or exploit bugs in the App.
• Ensure minors have parental or guardian consent before using the blocking features.

We may restrict access for violations of these Terms.

9. Age Requirements

The blocking, prayer, and Bible features are suitable for a general audience. The Community carries content written by other users, and the App's store age rating reflects that. You must be at least 14 in Spain, and at least the age of digital consent set by your own country (13 to 16 across the EU, 13 in the United States and the United Kingdom), to create an account or use Community features. Before the account is created we ask you to confirm that you are old enough. We do not knowingly allow accounts below that age, and we delete any we find. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising use by minors.

10. Third-Party Services

No data is sold, and the App shows no advertising.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" with no warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that:

• The App will be available without interruption.
• The App will meet your specific requirements.
• App blocking will work in every scenario or device configuration, including devices whose manufacturer restricts background services.
• Prayer generation will always be available or accurate.

12. Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
• Loss of data or productivity.
• Damages resulting from blocked app access.

Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the preceding 12 months.

13. Intellectual Property

Faithlocked owns the App, including its design, code, and content, all of which are protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the App.

14. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App for violations of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the App ends immediately. We may also remove content and suspend or permanently ban a Community account that breaks Section 7, without prior notice.

15. Changes

We may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be communicated within the App.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by Spanish law. Disputes shall be resolved in Spanish courts. EU consumers retain their rights under their country's consumer protection laws.

17. Platform Terms

17.1 Apple App Store

In accordance with Apple's requirements:

• These Terms are between you and Faithlocked, not Apple.
• Apple has no responsibility for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.
• Apple is not responsible for any claims related to the App.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.

17.2 Google Play

The Android version is distributed through Google Play. These Terms are between you and Faithlocked, not Google. Google is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and your use of Google Play is additionally governed by the Google Play Terms of Service.
