Privacy Policy

Overview

Lighthouse ("we", "our", "the app") is a personal health and wellness application. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we handle your data.

Data We Collect

Data Stored on Your Device and iCloud

• Goals and Journal Entries: Your personal goals, journal entries, and progress are stored on your device and synced across your devices via iCloud. This data is not accessible by us.
• App Preferences: Settings and preferences are stored locally and may sync via iCloud.

Data We Access But Don't Store

• HealthKit Data: Lighthouse reads and writes health data (such as mindfulness minutes, sleep analysis, mood, and mental health assessments) through Apple HealthKit. This data remains in Apple's Health app and is never stored or transmitted by Lighthouse.

Data Stored on Our Servers

• Reminders: If you create reminders, they are stored on our servers to enable notifications across your devices.
• Communication Preferences: If you provide your email address for updates, it is stored on our servers.
• Device Token: Your push notification token is stored to deliver notifications.

Analytics & Crash Reporting

• Mixpanel: We use Mixpanel to collect anonymous usage analytics. This includes a randomly generated user identifier (not linked to your identity), feature usage events, and app interactions. No personal information is collected.
• Sentry: We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error logs to improve app stability. This includes technical information about crashes and your anonymous user identifier.

Apple Intelligence

Lighthouse uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence) to provide personalized suggestions. All AI processing occurs locally on your device. No prompts or responses are sent to external servers.

Push Notifications

We use Apple Push Notification service (APNs) to send you reminders and suggestions. Your device token and timezone are transmitted to our servers for this purpose.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose data if required by law.
