LORE
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 1, 2026
1. Who We Are
Lore is a social application that lets friend groups create events and celebrate each other through lighthearted superlative awards. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the Lore app.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly: your display name, username (handle), email address or Apple ID, and date of birth. We also collect content you create, such as votes, awards, and event activity. When you use the app, we automatically collect usage data such as features accessed, interactions with other users, and crash reports to improve app stability.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate and improve the app, display your profile to other users, enable social features such as voting and awards, send account-related notifications, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal obligations. Your date of birth is used solely to determine age-appropriate feature access and is never displayed publicly.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your information with service providers who help us operate the app (such as cloud hosting and analytics), with other users as part of the app's social features (such as your display name and profile), and with law enforcement or legal authorities when required by law. Any third-party service providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
5. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud database platform with industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will permanently erase your data from our systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Some aggregated, anonymized data may be retained for analytical purposes and cannot be linked back to you.
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
Lore is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us through the Support section in Settings.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, correct inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to or restrict how we process your data, and receive a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the Support section in Settings. We will respond within 30 days.
9. California Residents (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, request deletion of your personal information, opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell personal information), and not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights. To submit a request, contact us through the Support section in Settings.
10. European Residents (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent (provided when you accept these terms) and our legitimate interests in operating and improving the app. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, and request data portability or erasure.
11. Third-Party Services
Lore uses Apple's Sign in with Apple and App Store services, which are governed by Apple's own Privacy Policy. We may also use analytics tools to understand app usage. These services may collect certain data independently, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you within the app. Your continued use of Lore after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised.
13. Contact Us
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us through the Support section in the app's Settings screen.
