1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the App.

2. Information We Collect

When you register or sign in (including via Google Sign-In), we collect your display name, email address, and profile photo URL provided by your Google account.

Content You Create

Posts, photos, videos, captions, comments, and other content you share on Lumina are stored in our Firebase infrastructure.

Usage Data

We collect analytics data (via Firebase Analytics) such as screens viewed, features used, session duration, and device model/OS version. This data is aggregated and used solely to improve the App.

Device & Crash Data

Firebase Crashlytics collects crash reports including device state, stack traces, and App version to help us fix bugs. No personally identifiable content from your posts is included in crash reports.

Push Notification Tokens

If you allow notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) assigns your device a registration token used only to deliver in-app notifications such as likes, comments, and follows. We do not share this token with advertisers.

You can revoke any permission at any time in your device's Settings → Apps → Lumina. Revoking a permission may limit certain features.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

Your account data and posts are retained for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the App (Profile → Settings → Delete Account). Upon deletion, your data is permanently removed from our Firestore and Storage within 30 days.

Anonymized analytics and crash-report data may be retained longer in aggregate form, but cannot be linked back to you after account deletion.
