External services: Stripe
Stripe is contacted only for the configured payment features. The plugin uses https://api.stripe.com for Checkout sessions, subscriptions/cancellation, invoice payment identification and refund reconciliation. Requests contain API credentials, donor email, EUR amounts, service titles, internal/public payment identifiers, billing interval and return URLs as applicable. Prayer names and comments are not sent when creating payments.
Stripe collects card/billing details on its hosted checkout. Signed webhooks return payment status and available payer information. The site owner supplies their API key and endpoint signing secret; the plugin author receives no payments or credentials.

External services: PayPal
The plugin uses https://api-m.paypal.com (Live) or https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com (Sandbox) for REST OAuth authentication, Orders v2 creation/capture, webhook signature verification, products/plans/subscriptions and cancellation. Capture references can be verified using the payments API.
Requests contain application credentials, EUR amounts, service titles, payment/subscription identifiers, billing interval and return URLs as applicable. Signature verification sends the received webhook event and transmission headers back to PayPal. Prayer names and comments are not sent when creating payments. PayPal collects payer information on its hosted checkout and returns payment results and available payer details.

Personal data and email
The site stores prayer names/comments, donor email/name, WordPress account ownership, service selections, amounts, payment identifiers/statuses, available billing/contact details, timestamps, subscriptions, refunds and action history in its own database. Card numbers and security codes are not stored. Campaign reports publish aggregates only.
Emails use wp_mail and can include names, comments and payer details. Empty recipient settings disable staff notifications, without an admin-email fallback. Failed notifications retry via WP-Cron. Acceptance does not guarantee Inbox delivery; a crash after acceptance can cause a retry.
The plugin author receives no requests, keys, telemetry or payments. Site owners must restrict access, define retention and document processing in their privacy policy. Deactivation and uninstall do not automatically delete records or settings.
