Privacy Policy

Effective date: [1-9-2026]

This Privacy Policy explains how Luminist (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit luministapp.com (the “Website”) or use the Luminist desktop application (the “App”).

1) The short version

  • Your photos stay on your computer. The App edits locally and does not upload or store your images on our servers.
  • The Website may collect basic data needed to operate the site (for example, analytics and contact form messages).
  • If you contact us, we’ll receive what you send us.

2) What the App collects

Local-only processing

The App is designed to process your images locally on your device. We do not receive, upload, or store your photos or project files on our servers.

Files and storage

The App works with files you choose to open and saves/exports to locations you select on your device. We do not automatically access unrelated files.

Crash reports / diagnostics

We do not collect crash reports automatically unless you explicitly send information to us (for example, by emailing us or submitting a bug report). If you choose to send logs or screenshots, we will only use them to troubleshoot and improve the App.

3) What the Website collects

Information you provide

If you contact us through a form or email, we may collect the information you submit, such as:

  • name (if provided)
  • email address

Automatic data (typical website data)

When you visit the Website, some information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider or analytics tools (if enabled), such as:

  • IP address
  • device/browser type
  • pages visited and time spent
  • referral source (how you found the site)

Cookies

The Website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality and, if enabled, analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

4) How we use information

We use information to:

  • operate and maintain the Website
  • respond to support requests and feedback
  • improve the App and Website
  • protect against spam, abuse, or security issues

5) What we do not  do

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not upload or store your photos through the App.
  • We do not access your files unless you choose them inside the App.

6) Sharing of information

We may share information only in these limited cases:

  • Service providers (for example, website hosting, email delivery, spam prevention) who help us operate the Website and communicate with you.
  • Legal reasons if required to comply with law, enforce our policies, or protect rights and safety.
  • Business transfers if Luminist is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (we would notify you if required).

7) Data retention

  • Contact messages: We keep support messages as long as needed to respond and maintain records for troubleshooting and customer support.
  • Website logs/analytics: Retained for a limited period depending on provider settings.

8) Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information we receive. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9) Children’s privacy

The Website and App are not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your location). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10) Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information we hold (such as support emails). To make a request, contact us using the information below.
