Love Your Sermon is built to forget you. Here's exactly what happens to what you send.
Everything you send goes into a private Google Drive folder that only the creator can open, and it stays there only until your report is sent.
| Item | Why | When it's deleted |
|---|---|---|
| Your recording or transcript | To transcribe and measure the sermon | When your report is sent |
| Your intake answers | To label and score your report (name, date, title, length, Know/Feel/Do) | When your report is sent |
| Past reports you add | To read their scores for comparison | When your report is sent |
| A YouTube link, if you add one | To turn the timestamps in your report into links that open your video at the right moment. We never download from YouTube. | Kept only inside your report |
| Your email address | To send you your report | When your report is sent |
| Your finished report | Emailed to you as a PDF | Our copy, once it's sent |
Love Your Sermon is an AI product, checked, regulated, and adjusted by a human.
Two tools do the work. DaVinci Resolve (Blackmagic Design) transcribes your recording with word-by-word timing, on the creator's computer. Claude (Anthropic) analyzes the transcript and measurements against the rubric and writes your review. Your audio and video are never sent to Claude; it receives the transcript, the measurements, and your intake answers. The rubric, the scoring rules, and the wording guidelines were written by a preacher and are kept up by a human.
How submissions are handled: What's sent to Claude is handled according to Anthropic's terms for Claude. Nothing from your submission is kept on the creator's personal computer or server after your report is sent.
[Confirm which Claude plan runs the reviews. If it's a personal plan, turn off the setting that lets Anthropic use chats to improve its models.]
Reviews are done by hand, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central. Your report is emailed within 24 hours on those days. Weekend submissions are reviewed starting Monday morning.
Only basic, anonymous counts needed to keep the service running, such as how many reviews ran today and whether any failed. These counts don't include your name, your sermon, your email, or your recording.
