Effective Date: 10/03/2026
Nightlight ("we," "our," or "us") values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our social media application ("Nightlight" or the "App"). Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data.
You don’t have to create an account to use some of our service features, such as searching and viewing public Nightlight profiles. If you do choose to create an account, you must provide us with some personal data so that we can provide our services to you. On Nightlight this includes a username (for example, nightlightuser), a password (encrypted for security), and an email address.
Your display name and username are always public, but you can use either your real name or a pseudonym.
Users can share various types of content through Nightlight, including:
We record actions within the app, such as likes, comments, follows, and mentions, to enable functionality and enhance user experience.
The Nightlight website collects browser information (e.g., screen size, language settings) to customize your experience. The Android app collects general device information such as operating system (OS) version and screen size, all used for app functionality. It also includes Google Analytics, which collects data on app usage and engagement.
We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Most activity on Nightlight is public, including your profile information, your posts, and certain information about your posts like the date and time. The people you follow and who follow you, and posts you like or repost are also public. Information posted about you by other people who use our services may also be public. For example, other people may mention you in a post.
You are responsible for your posts and other information you provide through our services, and you should think carefully about what you make public, especially if it is sensitive information. If you update your public information on Nightlight, such as by deleting a post or deactivating your account, we will reflect your updated content on night-light.cz.
By publicly posting content, you are directing us to disclose that information as broadly as possible, including through our APIs, and directing those accessing the information through our APIs to do the same. To facilitate the fast global dissemination of posts to people around the world, we use technology like application programming interfaces (APIs) and embeds to make that information available to websites, apps, and others for their use - for example, displaying posts on a news website or analyzing what people say on Nightlight. We generally make this content available in limited quantities for free for large-scale access.
A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on your computer or mobile device. Like many websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect additional website usage data and to operate our services. Cookies are not required for many parts of our services such as searching and looking at public profiles. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, many browsers’ settings can be set to decline cookies or alert you when a website is attempting to place a cookie on your computer. However, some of our services may not function properly if you disable cookies. When your browser or device allows it, we use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our services and to personalize and otherwise operate our services such as by providing account security. We do not support the Do Not Track browser option.
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share information under the following conditions:
Nightlight’s Android app includes Google Analytics, which helps us understand app usage. This data is collected exclusively for our internal use.
When you post or share content, you grant us permission to share this content on Nightlight’s platform as you’ve selected (public or private).
We may disclose data if required by law or to comply with legal requests, such as court orders, subpoenas, or regulatory requirements.
We prioritize data security and use encryption to protect your passwords and safeguard your data. While we employ reasonable security measures, please understand that no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Nightlight provides users with rights over their data, including:
Our services are not directed to children, and you may not use our services if you are under the age of 16. You must also be old enough to consent to the processing of your personal data in your country.
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. Any significant changes will be communicated through the app or via email. The most current version of the policy will govern our processing of your personal data and will always be at https://night-light.cz/terms/privacy.html
