Your Data & AI
Your trust is the whole point.
Generosity is personal. So is the data behind it. Here's exactly what Xerish collects, where it lives, how it's protected, what the Xerish AI does with it — and the lines it will never cross. Plain language, no fine print.
What we collect, and why.
Xerish collects only what it needs to run a giving platform you can trust. Your account details (name, email, the account type you signed up as). Your giving history — what you've given, your wallet balance, your recurring gifts, and the tax records that go with them. The things you engage with in the app, like the posts you save and the prayers you mark. And the basic technical signals every app sees: your device type, app version, and an approximate, city-level location.
Each of these has a reason: to process your gifts, issue your receipts, keep your account secure, and make the app work on your device. Xerish does not build advertising profiles, and it does not track you across other apps or websites.
Xerish never sells your data.
Not your name, not your email, not your giving history — not to anyone, not ever. There is no data-broker business hiding behind the giving platform. Your information is used to run Xerish for you, and that is all.
A small set of trusted service providers help operate the platform — Stripe moves the money, Supabase and AWS host the database, and Anthropic powers the AI insights. Each handles only what its job requires, under confidentiality terms. The full list lives in the Privacy Policy.
Encrypted, and held by the right entity.
Your data is encrypted in transit (TLS, the same standard your bank's website uses) and encrypted at rest (AES-256) on managed cloud infrastructure — Supabase running on Amazon Web Services, in the United States. Access inside the database is locked down with row-level security, so the rules about who can read what are enforced by the database itself, not just the app.
Xerish runs as two entities, and the split matters for your data. Xerish SPC builds and operates the app and its database — that's where your account and giving records live. Xerish Storehouse, the 501(c)(3) charity of record, holds the charitable funds themselves and disburses grants. Your money and the records about it are kept by organizations built for exactly that purpose. More on the structure is on the Security and Transparency pages.
A stewardship tool. Not a pastor.
Xerish includes an AI that surfaces insights from your own giving data — quietly, on the screens where it helps. It might point out that your giving has held steady for six months, or that a cause you support just hit a milestone. It speaks in the second person, about you and your data. It is a tool for reflection, not a voice of authority.
It works only with the data you already see in your own account. It does not read your private messages, and it is not training a public model on who you are. Your Treasury — the screen that shows your giving over time — stays private to you. Xerish has no public giver profiles and no “top givers” leaderboards. Generosity here is never a scoreboard.
What the Xerish AI will never do.
The boundaries are written into the product, not bolted on. The Xerish AI will never:
- Tell you how much to give. That is between you and God.
- Compare you to other people, or rank you against them.
- Manufacture urgency or guilt to push you toward giving more.
- Praise giving as your identity — you are not “a generous person” to be performed for.
- Interpret Scripture authoritatively or stand in for a pastor or counselor.
- Chase you to re-engage, or frame your stewardship data to make you feel watched.
If you ever see the AI cross one of these lines, that is a bug, not a feature — tell us at contact@xerish.com and we'll fix it.
You hold the dials.
Your name, your call. Your display name is shown by default, but a single toggle in Settings lets you give and appear anonymously. When you're anonymous, your name is withheld from the organizations you support — they see the gift, not who sent it. You can change this whenever you like; it applies going forward.
Export or delete, on request. You can ask for a copy of your data, and you can delete your account. Deleting from inside the app takes effect immediately: it removes your public profile, cancels every active recurring gift, and signs you out in the same gesture. Some giving records are kept where tax and charitable-fund rules require it — the details are in the Privacy Policy and you can start a request on the Privacy Request page.
Reach a human. Questions about your data, the AI, or anything else — email contact@xerish.com and a person will answer.
To hold dear what God holds dear.
Your data carries your generosity. We treat it the way we'd treat anything entrusted to us — carefully, honestly, and never for sale.
