Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 4, 2026
Little Lights ("we," "us") helps you meet people worth knowing and get into the same room with them. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We try to collect as little as possible and to be plain about it.
What we collect
- Account details — your email address and a password (used only to sign you in), and your confirmation that you're an adult and agree to our conduct rules.
- Your profile — your name, an optional photo and short intro, and the interests and details you choose to add ("about-me" facts). You decide what to share; you can edit or remove any of it at any time.
- Connections & messages — the introductions you send or receive and the messages you exchange in the app. Messages are visible to you and the person you're talking with.
- Events — the events you host or join (you join an event with a code). The event's location is a place the host enters, not your device location.
- Basic device & usage data — a push-notification token (so we can alert you to new introductions and messages) and standard technical information needed to run the app reliably.
What we do not collect
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't collect your device location.
- We don't use your microphone or record audio.
How we use it
- To introduce you to people you're likely to enjoy meeting, and to suggest good conversation openers.
- To deliver your messages and notify you about introductions, replies, and event activity.
- To run events you host or join.
- To keep the community safe — reviewing flagged messages, enforcing our guidelines, and acting on blocks and reports.
Who can see your information
Other members can see your profile and the details you choose to add, and can be introduced to you. People you're matched or connected with can see your name, photo, shared interests, and your messages to them. We share information with service providers who help us run the app (such as hosting and push-notification delivery) only as needed to provide the service, and we may disclose information if required by law or to protect people's safety.
Keeping the community safe
To protect people from scams, harassment, and abuse, we use automated tools and, where a message is flagged, human review to check messages sent through Little Lights. Flagged messages may be reviewed by our team and retained as needed to investigate violations, enforce our Community Guidelines, and comply with law. Accounts that break our rules may receive a warning, be suspended, or be removed; a suspended person can appeal from within the app. This processing is necessary to operate a safe service.
Meeting people in real life
Little Lights is designed to help you meet people in person. Meeting anyone new carries risk. We provide safety tools (blocking, reporting) but we don't conduct background checks, and we can't guarantee anyone's identity or conduct. Please use good judgment — see our Community Guidelines.
Your choices & rights
- Edit or remove any profile detail, photo, or your intro at any time.
- Turn discoverability on or off, and control notifications from your device settings.
- Block or report anyone.
- Delete your account, which removes your profile from the app. Ask us anytime at josh@arealhumanbeing.co.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data; contact us to exercise them.
Children
Little Lights is for adults (18+). It is not for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes & contact
We'll update this policy as the app evolves and note the date above. Questions? josh@arealhumanbeing.co.
