Privacy Policy
Your privacy is foundational.
Last updated: January 2025
What we collect
To create an account, we collect your email address and a display name of your choosing. We do not collect your real name. We do not ask for your phone number, location, date of birth, or any other identifying information.
When you use the app, we collect standard usage data: timestamps, content you post, reactions you give, and actions you take (reports, saves). We collect your device's timezone to determine active hours for your account.
We use Supabase for our database and authentication. Supabase stores data in a GDPR-compliant manner in the EU by default.
How anonymity is protected
In public Rooms, your display name is never attached to your posts. The database records your user ID for moderation purposes, but your identity is never surfaced to other users — not your display name, not any other identifying information.
In private Circles, your display name is visible to Circle members, as that is the intended purpose of Circles.
Our moderation team may access the link between a post and its author only when investigating a reported violation. This access is logged and audited.
What we do not do
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to build advertising profiles. We do not train AI models on your content.
We do not share your information with any third party except where required by law, or to provide the service itself (e.g. our email delivery provider for account emails).
Data retention
Your posts are retained as long as your account exists. When you delete a post, it is removed immediately and permanently.
When you delete your account, all of your posts, reactions, saves, and profile data are deleted. Your email address is retained for 30 days in case of accidental deletion, then permanently removed.
Cookies
We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, correct it, export it, or have it deleted. To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@underthelamp.app.
If you're in the EU, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll notify you by email before they take effect. Continued use of the service after that point means you accept the updated policy.
