Privacy

This website

This site sets no cookies, runs no third-party trackers, and loads no fonts, scripts or images from anyone else’s server. That is why there is no cookie banner — there is nothing to consent to.

Your dark/light preference is stored in your own browser’s local storage. It never leaves your device and we cannot read it.

Our host keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and abuse prevention. We do not use them to build a profile of you.

The waitlist

If you sign up, we collect your email address and, optionally, where you heard about us. The second one exists so we know which of the things we do is worth doing.

We use your address to:

• tell you when a beta wave opens;
• tell you when there is something to buy, once.

We do not sell it, rent it, or share it with anyone outside the email provider that sends the messages. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list entirely. If you would rather be deleted immediately, email hello@lamplitphoto.com and it will be done.

The app

Lamplit is desktop software that runs on your machine, on your files.

• No account. There is no sign-in, so there is no profile of you to keep.
• Your photographs stay yours. Lamplit does not upload your images anywhere. The transmit feature sends files only to the FTP, FTPS or SFTP server you configure, when you tell it to.
• Credentials stay local. Passwords for saved transmit presets are held in your operating system’s keychain, not in a configuration file and not on our servers.
• Location lookup works offline. Reverse geocoding uses a gazetteer embedded in the app, so putting a city name on a frame does not tell anyone where you were.

On telemetry: the app currently ships no crash reporting and no product analytics. We expect to add crash reporting, because shipping software to strangers without it means never learning that it broke. If and when that happens it will be disclosed in the app, it will have a visible off switch, and this page will be updated before it ships — not after.

Children

Lamplit is a professional tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Since the honest answer is usually “an email address on a list”, this is normally a one-line reply. Write to hello@lamplitphoto.com.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes and anyone on the waitlist is told. We will not quietly broaden what we collect and rely on you re-reading this page.
