Cookies & Local Storage
Only what helps Luminara work.
Luminara does not currently use third-party advertising, cross-site behavioral tracking, or optional analytics cookies. Browser storage is used for sign-in, family/device connection, preferences, and core app state.
1. Technologies we use
Cookies are small browser records often used for authentication. Local storage persists information on a device until it is cleared. Session storage normally lasts for the browser tab or session. Indexed or provider-managed browser storage may also support Firebase authentication. These technologies are necessary to provide requested features.
2. Storage table
| Technology | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase authentication persistence | Keep a grown-up or connected device signed in securely. | Until sign-out, account/session expiry, or browser data is cleared. |
| Luminara local storage | Store family scope, paired-device state, app preferences, cached family data, setup state, and sync settings. | Until unpaired, reset, removed by the app, or browser storage is cleared. |
| Luminara session storage | Remember which child is using the current browser session and temporary UI choices. | Normally until the tab or browser session closes. |
| Security and hosting data | Deliver pages, prevent abuse, and maintain reliable service. | According to operational and provider retention requirements. |
3. Your choices
You can sign out, disconnect a device, clear site data in browser settings, or use a private browsing session. Blocking necessary storage may prevent sign-in, device pairing, synchronization, or child profile access from working. Because Luminara does not currently use optional ad or analytics cookies, there is no separate cookie-consent panel.
A browser-level Global Privacy Control signal does not change our current practices because Luminara does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Guardian extension storage
Guardian uses Chrome extension storage for the grown-up’s allow-list, the associated family and child identifiers, extension status, and small daily activity summaries. Uninstalling Guardian or clearing its extension data removes those on-device records. Cloud copies already synchronized to Luminara must be deleted separately through a grown-up control or verified request.
5. Changes
If we introduce optional analytics, advertising, or another non-essential tracking technology, this notice and any consent controls will be updated before that technology is used where consent is required.
