Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 13, 2026

At Lumina, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. This policy outlines how we handle your data with the care and respect it deserves.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization. We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide our service:

  • Account Basics: Your name and email address for authentication.
  • Profile Data: An optional bio and profile picture to represent you.
  • Content: The stories, blogs, and comments you choose to publish.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information solely to:

  • Deliver the Lumina experience (hosting your blog, notifying followers).
  • Improve platform performance and security.
  • Send important account updates (we don't spam).

3. Security

We protect your data with encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. We salt and hash passwords using industry-standard algorithms (bcrypt-like methods) and employ strict rate limiting to prevent unauthorized access.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. Ever. We only share data with essential infrastructure providers (like our database host) under strict confidentiality agreements.
