Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 October 2026

1. What we collect

Your account

• Email address and password. Your password is stored scrambled ("hashed") by our login provider. Nobody at LUNA can see it.
• If you use Continue with Google, Google tells us your email address and name. We don't copy your Google profile picture.
• Your birthday, asked once to check you're 13 or older. It's private: other people can never see it, and it can't be changed later. If you enter a birthday under 13, we don't save it and the account is removed.

Your profile (public)

• Your @username, display name and profile photo. Logged-in LUNA users can see your profile. Anyone with your profile link (like luna-online.pages.dev/yourname) can see your profile and posts, even without an account.

What you post and do

• Posts: your photos and videos, captions and #hashtags. For photos, LUNA also saves the 3 main colors of the picture (your "Aura").
• Likes, comments and follows, which other users can see.
• Saves (bookmarks), which only you can see.
• Stories, which disappear after 24 hours, and who has viewed your stories.
• Messages between you and another person. Only the two of you can see them in the app. They are protected by our database rules, but they are not end-to-end encrypted, so please don't share passwords or very private information in messages. If someone reports a message, we may read it to check it.
• Night albums: photos you add are visible only to the people in that album, and only after it "develops". An album and its photos are deleted 30 days after it develops.
• Notifications (for example "someone liked your post").
• Blocks and reports you make. These are private. The person you block or report is not told it was you.

Face finding in Night albums

When you add a photo to a Night album, LUNA counts how many faces are in it, so photos of people can be shown first. This happens on your own phone: the photo isn't sent anywhere to be scanned. We only save the number of faces (for example "3"). We don't save face shapes, we don't recognize who anyone is, and we don't use faces for anything else.

On your device

LUNA keeps a few small things in your browser's storage so the app works smoothly: your login (so you stay logged in), your favorite filters, which Night albums you've already opened, and, if an under-13 birthday was entered, a note so the age check can't simply be repeated. These don't track you anywhere else.

What we don't collect

We don't collect your location, your contacts, or your phone's other photos (only the ones you choose to post). We don't use advertising or analytics trackers.

2. Why we use it

• To run LUNA: show your profile and posts, deliver messages, build your Home and Explore, and send notifications.
• To keep LUNA safe: check that users are 13+, handle reports, enforce blocks, stop spam, and remove content or accounts that break our Community Guidelines.
• To send emails you need, like confirming your account or resetting your password. We don't send marketing emails.

3. Who helps us run LUNA

We use a few trusted services. They handle your information only to provide their service to LUNA. Some of them store data outside Pakistan.

We don't sell or rent your information to anyone. We may share information if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety (for example, content that puts a child in danger).

4. How long we keep things

• Stories: 24 hours.
• Night albums: until 30 days after they develop.
• Everything else (profile, posts, comments, messages): until you delete it, or delete your account.
• Deleting your account: your account is hidden from everyone right away. If you don't log back in within 30 days, it's deleted for good, together with your profile, posts, comments, messages, stories, birthday and album photos. Some copies may stay in our systems for a short time after that (for example, files waiting to be cleaned up), but nobody can see them.

5. Your choices and rights

• See and change your profile any time (☰ menu → Edit profile).
• Delete any post, comment or story you made, or your whole account (☰ menu → Delete account).
• Block anyone (⋯ on their profile or in a chat). They can no longer see you or contact you.
• Ask us for a copy of your information, to correct something, or to delete it, by emailing luna.online.help@gmail.com. We'll answer as soon as we can.

6. Children

LUNA is not for children under 13, and we don't knowingly keep information about them. If we learn that someone under 13 is using LUNA, we remove the account. If you're a parent and think your child under 13 has an account, please email us and we'll delete it. If you're between 13 and 18, please talk to a parent or guardian about using LUNA.

7. Keeping your information safe

We use database rules so people can only see what they're allowed to see: for example, private Night album photos stay locked even to LUNA's own app until the album develops. No system is 100% secure, though, so please use a strong password that you don't use anywhere else.

8. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For big changes, we'll also tell you in the app.
