What LAMP owns

The design of this app, the way it is arranged, and the code that makes it work. That is the whole of it.

The prayers

They belong to the Church and to everyone in it. The Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Creed, the Rosary, the Chaplet, the novenas — these have been prayed for centuries and nobody owns them. They are set out here as they are prayed, and no claim is made over any of them.

The pictures

Every picture belongs to whoever made it, and any rights in it stay with them. LAMP claims none.

Every picture in LAMP — Our Lord, Our Lady, the Divine Mercy and all twenty mysteries of the Rosary — was made for this app. © lamp.charity.

They are free for anyone to use. Copy them, share them, print them, put them in your own parish bulletin or your own app. We ask one thing in return and it is not money: keep the credit to lamp.charity with them, so that whoever sees them next can find their way back here.

The credit travels inside each picture as well as on this page, so it survives being downloaded and passed on.

If you recognise your own work anywhere in LAMP, please write. It will be credited the way you ask, or taken out straight away, whichever you would prefer. No argument, no delay.

What stays on this device

Your own prayers, the intention you write before the Rosary, the times you set for each bead, the colours and the lettering size — all of it is kept on this device and nowhere else. There is no account, no sign-in, and nothing is gathered about how you pray or how often.

One thing is counted, and this is all of it. The first time you open LAMP it asks which language you pray in, and your answer — that language, and nothing else — is sent once, so that we know which languages people are praying in and which to translate next. No name, no prayers, no account, and nothing that could tell one device from another or join it to anything else. It is sent once and never again, and if you are offline at the time it is not sent at all.

Two other things leave, and only when you ask them to:

Sending a copy to another device sends your prayers to whoever you address it to — you choose the recipient.
Listen, if you switch it on, sends what you say to be recognised, by whoever made your browser. That is how the words are understood. It is off unless you turn it on.

Borrowed and credited

The Quicksand lettering is Andrew Paglinawan's, given freely under the Open Font Licence. The little squares that make the sharing codes are drawn by Kazuhiko Arase's qrcode-generator, given freely under the MIT licence. Our thanks to both.

The whole of it, on one page

Everything above is said again, in full and in plain words, in LAMP's privacy policy. It is the page the app stores are shown, and it is kept true of the app as it stands.
