Catholic Diocese Compliance

iConfess adheres to privacy guidelines recommended by Catholic dioceses for digital confession preparation tools. While this app assists in preparation for confession, it is not a substitute for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and maintains strict privacy standards appropriate for spiritual matters.

 

Data Protection Rights

Under various privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you have rights regarding your personal data. However, since iConfess doesn't collect personal data, these rights primarily apply to:

- The right to delete local app data

- The right to disable any optional features

- The right to use the app without data collection

 

Commitment to Privacy

As a tool designed to assist in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we understand the deeply personal nature of this process. Our commitment to privacy reflects both our technical approach to data protection and our respect for the sacred nature of confession preparation.

 

Your Trust

We are honored to assist in your spiritual journey and take our responsibility to protect your privacy seriously. Our approach to privacy is guided by both technical best practices and respect for the sanctity of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
