1. Our Commitment to You

Lighthouse is built with a "Privacy-First" mindset. We provide a secure media messaging platform designed to help people connect without compromising their personal safety. We never sell your data to third parties.

2. Information We Collect

• Secure Account Data: Name, email, and date of birth are collected via Firebase Authentication to ensure only you can access your account.
• Encrypted Media: Audio recordings, photos, and videos are processed with secure tokens to prevent unauthorized access during transmission.
• Real-Time Connectivity: We use FCM tokens for push notifications and record "last seen" status to keep the community active—both of which can be disabled in your settings.

3. Advanced Data Security

We employ rigorous security measures to keep your conversations private:

• Full HTTPS/TLS Encryption: Every byte of data sent between your device and our servers is protected by high-grade HTTPS encryption, making it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept it.
• Encrypted Storage: Sensitive credentials and passwords are never stored in plain text. We use industry-standard hashing and secure database rules.
• Secure Media Delivery: All media is handled through secure, authenticated pipelines to ensure your photos and voice notes stay between you and your recipients.

4. User Privacy & Safety Rights

Lighthouse provides a zero-tolerance environment for harassment:

• Visibility Controls: You have the absolute right to hide your status, email, and typing indicators.
• Community Safety: Instantly block or report any user who violates community standards. Reports are manually reviewed by our security team to ensure a legitimate, safe experience.
• Right to Erasure: You own your data. You can delete your account and all associated data instantly through the app's Account Security settings.
