What Lantern keeps about you

If you never sign in

Lantern keeps no personal information about you. What you save and where you got to are stored only in your own browser, on your own device. No adverts. No tracking.

If you sign in

• Your email address, to send you sign-in links and nothing else.
• A name, only if you add one.
• Your saved cards and how far you got, so they follow you to other devices.
• A session cookie on each device you sign in on, so you stay signed in for 30 days.

We never sell or share this. Sign-in emails go out through an email service. It receives your address only to deliver the email.

Scholars and the review trail

When a scholar signs off a piece, their name and the date are shown on it publicly. That record is kept even if the account is later deleted, because a published review must stay traceable. Their email is never shown.

Deleting it

Delete your account at any time from the account page. Your email, name, saves and progress are removed straight away.

Lantern is run by Flowstate Systems in South Africa, under POPIA.
