Privacy Policy

Overview

Afterlight is a concert diary app that helps you log and track your live music experiences. Your diary works on your device without an account; Sign in with Apple is optional and adds Friends plus cloud backup.

Data Storage

When you use Afterlight:

• Concert logs (artist, venue, date, ratings, reflections) are stored on your device by default
• Photos, audio, and video clips you attach are copied into the app's private storage on your device
• Deleting the app deletes this data; your device backup (e.g. iCloud) may include it
• If you join Friends with Apple, your diary entries and attachments sync to Convex so your Apple account can recover them on another install
• Your public username and non-private diary entries are used for Friends and web profiles

Private entries can be backed up after Apple sign-in, but they are never shown in Friends feeds, public profiles, public links, or overlap rooms.

Third-Party Services

Some features send limited data to external services:

• Setlist.fm — artist/venue/date search queries, to find shows and setlists
• OpenAI — ticket/poster photos you choose to scan, processed for text extraction only
• Convex — optional Friends usernames, Apple-linked account identifiers, follows, reports, blocks, diary backup, and non-private shared diary entries
• Analytics (if enabled in a build) — anonymous usage events to improve the app

We do not sell your data to third parties.

Data Retention

• Your concert logs stay on your device until you delete them
• Apple-account cloud backup and Friends data can be deleted in-app from Profile by leaving Friends
• You can export your data (JSON/CSV) at any time from Profile
• Deleting the app removes all locally stored data

Your Rights

• Access — view all your data in the app
• Export — download your concert history
• Deletion — remove entries individually, delete your Friends account, or delete the app
• Portability — your data is yours
