Privacy Policy

Updated October 24, 2026

This policy explains what information Your Light uses, why it is used, where it is stored, and the choices available to you.

Information used to create your account

When you continue with Google or Apple, that provider may give Your Light an account identifier, name, email address, and profile image, depending on the information you choose to share. Authentication is provided through Supabase. Supabase stores the account record and the information needed to keep you signed in and to protect access to your account.

Wellbeing activity and course pages

Storage depends on your app version. Saved quotes and preferences are kept on your device. Versions with account sync also store completed lights in Supabase. Course writing stays on your device unless you choose an online feature. Photos you choose to attach to course pages are uploaded to private Supabase storage for your account. Your Light does not use this content for advertising, tracking, or automated medical decisions.

Community and sharing

Lights are private by default. If you choose Share this light, its predefined activity title, category, time and display name are stored in Supabase and shown to signed-in users. Your private mood responses and course writing are not included in that post. Friends are added through mutual acceptance. Reactions and, in versions supporting conversations, replies are stored online; replies are visible to the post owner and their accepted friends. You can hide a person, report content or make your own shared light private again.

Replies and moderation

Replies are checked by a basic automated text filter. Reported posts and replies are hidden for the reporter; two distinct reports temporarily hide the content for everyone pending review. The Your Light team can access reports and the reported content to investigate, restore or remove it. Reporting is not an emergency service and the filter cannot detect every harmful message. Contact chanyenqi018@gmail.com for safety concerns.

Optional AI: Super Light

Where Super Light is available, asking it to read your pages, chat, or break something into small steps sends the text you write, the course pages included with your request, relevant conversation history and any photos you attach to our AI provider, Anthropic (the Claude API), through our Supabase server. This lets Super Light respond to what you wrote or photographed. These features are optional, and you are asked for permission before your first AI request; you can keep using Your Light without them. AI messages and replies, usage allowances and technical usage records are stored in Supabase until you delete your account. Steps you choose to save from a conversation (“Your steps”) are kept on your device. Anthropic processes requests under its privacy policy and commercial terms, which state that content sent through its API is not used to train its models by default; its retention depends on those terms. Do not include information you do not want processed by these services. AI replies can be wrong, are not medical advice, and private writing is not monitored for emergencies.

Subscriptions

Super Light is an optional auto-renewing subscription. Apple or Google handles payment, including any free trial; Your Light never receives your full card details. RevenueCat helps validate subscription status and restore access, using your app account identifier and purchase information. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings; refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

Notifications

Gentle reminders are scheduled on your device. If you turn on alerts such as friend requests, likes or replies, your device’s push token is stored in Supabase and messages are delivered through Expo and Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can turn alerts off in the app or in your device settings.

Photos and camera

Your Light asks for camera or photo library access only when you choose to add a picture. A profile picture stays on your device. Photos you attach to course pages are uploaded to private Supabase storage that only your account can access, and are removed when you remove them or delete your account.

Service providers

We use Supabase for authentication, online data, server functions and private photo storage; Resend to send account emails such as sign-in codes and email changes; Apple and Google for sign-in, store payments and push delivery; Expo for push notifications; RevenueCat for subscriptions; and Anthropic (the Claude API) for optional AI features. Where enabled in your version, Amplitude receives app interaction events and Sentry receives error diagnostics linked to a random account identifier. These analytics events do not intentionally include your course writing, photos, mood answers, name or email. You can turn usage analytics and diagnostics off in You → Privacy and account → Help improve Your Light. These providers process data to operate their services, which may involve processing outside your country. Your Light does not sell personal information, use advertising identifiers or track you across other companies’ apps and websites.

Retention and deletion

Your account information and anything you have shared to the Community are kept while your account remains active. Device-only wellbeing activity remains until you clear the app’s local data, delete the app, or delete your account. You can permanently delete your account inside Your Light from You → Privacy and account → Delete my account. Deletion removes your Supabase account, all lights you shared, your follows, reactions and replies, your saved course pages and attached photos, your Super Light messages, and clears the app’s locally stored wellbeing data for that account. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription; cancel it in your App Store or Google Play settings.

Your choices

You can choose what Google or Apple shares during sign-in, change a light between private and shared, hide or report other users’ shared lights, sign out, or delete your account. You may also revoke Your Light’s access through your Google or Apple account settings.

Safety and children

Your Light is a general wellbeing tool, not a medical or emergency service. It does not monitor entries or contact emergency services. The app is not directed to children under 13.
