Catholic Index is operated by Tagaste LLC, a California limited liability company, which is the data controller responsible for your information.
Website. We collect email addresses when you use features like saving parishes or lighting candles. This information is used solely to provide you with these services.
MCP API. When you use Catholic Index through AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor), we log tool call inputs including search locations, queries, and church IDs. These logs do not contain any personal information such as names, email addresses, or end-user IP addresses.
Analytics. We use Umami, a self-hosted, cookie-free analytics tool, to understand how visitors use our site. No personal data or tracking cookies are involved.
Session replay. We use PostHog for anonymous usage analytics and session replay on both the website (10% of visits) and the mobile app, with all text inputs automatically masked. The Confession Companion is fully excluded from session replay — see the “Confession Companion” section below. For visitors in the EU and UK, website analytics data is stored only for the duration of your visit. For other visitors, a first-party cookie is used to understand return visits.
Your examination of conscience stays on your device. We never collect which sins you select, anything you type, or how many items you review, and the Confession Companion screens are masked from session replay and blocked from screenshots. We see only anonymous feature usage, such as whether a session was started — and that is not tied to your identity.
The examination of conscience was inspired by ConfessIt, an open-source project (MIT License).
