Privacy policy

Last updated: 7 November 2026

Ourlight ("the app") is made by [Company legal name], [registered address], India (hello@ourlight.app).

What the app collects

  • Your account: the email address and name shared by Sign in with Apple or Google, used to keep your account and to connect you with a partner who invites that email. If you choose Apple's "Hide my email", we only see Apple's relay address.
  • Your first name, as you type it, so your partner can see who shared.
  • Your care profile: your answers about how you like to be cared for.
  • Your check-ins: the weather state you choose, an optional feeling word and an optional short note.
  • Care you send: short messages, verses and "about us" notes you choose to send to your partner.
  • Guesses you make about your partner's weather, used for your joint weekly score.
  • Your settings: the time you receive updates and whether Ourlight is paused.
  • Your partner's email, if you invite them by email. It is used only to connect them to you and is cleared once they join.

  • Usage and diagnostics: which screens are used and whether features work (for example "check-in sent", "pairing completed"), stored in our own database under a random identifier and never tied to the content of your check-ins or messages; and crash reports, sent to our error-monitoring provider (Sentry) with the device model, operating system version and the technical details of the crash. We use these only to fix problems and improve the app.

The app does not collect your location, contacts, photos, health data, calendar, advertising identifiers or browsing activity. It contains no ads and no advertising or cross-app tracking.

Check-ins you mark "just for me" never leave your phone.

Who can see it

Only you and the one partner you pair with. Your data is stored with our database provider, Supabase, with access rules that limit every record to the two people in a couple. We do not sell or share your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

If you pay for Ourlight+, the purchase is handled by Google Play (and later the App Store). We receive a purchase record without your card details. Our subscription provider, RevenueCat, stores that record under a random identifier so both partners' apps can see the subscription.

How long we keep it

Check-ins and messages are kept while your account exists. If you signed in with Apple, deleting your account also revokes the app's access to your Apple ID. You can erase everything at any time from Settings → Delete my account and data, which deletes your account and all records linked to it from our servers and from your phone. If you no longer have the app, request deletion at https://ourlight.app/delete-account or by email; we complete it within 30 days.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing hello@ourlight.app. If you are in the UK or the European Economic Area, the legal basis for processing is the performance of our contract with you (running the app) and our legitimate interest in keeping it working (diagnostics). You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The app is not intended for anyone under 18.

Not therapy

Ourlight is a relationship wellness tool. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis or crisis services. If you are in danger or crisis, contact local emergency services.
