Legal Light is an iPhone app, and a web app at app.legallightapp.com, that recommends hunting gear based on a short questionnaire, tracks prices on items you choose to watch, and includes a gear advisor you can ask about products in our catalog. Both use the same account. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it.
We have tried to keep this short and readable. If something is unclear, email us at support@legallightapp.com.
The short version. We collect the minimum needed to run your account and your watchlist. We do not use analytics, we do not run ads, we do not track your location, and we do not sell your data to anyone. If you turn on the gear advisor, what you ask it goes to OpenAI to get an answer, and nothing else about you does.
Account information. When you create an account we store your email address and a securely hashed version of your password. We never store your password itself. If you use Sign in with Apple, we store the anonymous identifier Apple gives us instead, plus the email address Apple shares with us. If you choose Apple's "Hide My Email" option, we only ever receive their private relay address, not your real one.
Your hunt profiles. The answers you give in the questionnaire, covering things like the species you hunt, terrain, conditions, fit, the gear you need and your budget, along with a name for each profile. We use these to score gear against how you hunt. The fit answer is used to filter gear sizing and, if you turn on the gear advisor, is part of what the advisor is told about your hunt.
Your watchlist. Which products you are tracking and the discount threshold you set for each one. We use these to work out when to alert you.
A notification token, if you allow notifications. When you turn on price alerts, your phone gives us a token that lets us send a notification to that device. We store it against your account. It is only used to deliver the price alerts you asked for. If you say no to notifications, we never receive one. If you turn notifications off later in your iPhone settings, the alerts stop immediately, and we clear the token the next time we try to send you one.
Your advisor chats, if you turn the advisor on. The gear advisor is off until you turn it on. Once you do, we store the time you agreed, your questions, the advisor's answers, which products it pointed you to, and any thumbs up or down you give an answer. We also keep a daily count of how many questions you asked and what they cost us, with no record of what you asked, so we can apply the daily limit and our own spending cap. Each chat is deleted 90 days after its last message, and you can delete a chat, or all of them, sooner.
On the web app, one sign-in cookie and one saved choice. When you sign in at app.legallightapp.com we set a single cookie that keeps you signed in. It holds a sign-in token, is only ever sent to our own server, cannot be read by the web page, and lasts up to 60 days unless you sign out first. Your browser also remembers which of your hunt profiles you last had selected, so the web app opens on it next time. We use no other cookies.
That is the complete list.
If you email us. If you write to support@legallightapp.com, including to ask to join the beta, we keep your email address and message so we can reply. For a beta request we add your email address to Apple's TestFlight so Apple can send you the invitation. Ask us and we will delete it.
We use it to run the service: to sign you in, to generate your gear recommendations, to track prices on your watchlist, to tell you when something you are watching drops below your threshold, and, if you turn it on, to answer your questions in the gear advisor. We also use your email address to reply if you contact us.
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build a profile of you for anyone else's benefit.
We keep this list as short as we can.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing.
When you tap through to buy something, you leave Legal Light and land on the retailer's own website. We do not send them your account details. Once you are on their site, their privacy policy applies, not ours.
Legal Light may join retailer affiliate programs in the future. If we do, we may earn a commission when you buy through a link in the app, at no extra cost to you. It would not change which products we recommend or how they are ranked.
Passwords are stored using bcrypt hashing, so we cannot read them. Traffic between the app or web app and our servers uses HTTPS. On iPhone, your login token is held in your device's secure storage, the system keychain. On the web, the long-lived sign-in token sits in the cookie described above, which the page itself cannot read, and the short-lived one is kept only in memory until you close the tab.
No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise, but we do not collect data we do not need, which is the most reliable protection there is.
We keep your account information, hunt profiles and watchlist for as long as your account exists. Advisor chats are deleted 90 days after their last message, or as soon as you delete them; the daily question counts hold no content and are deleted after about two months. The web app's sign-in cookie is removed when you sign out and expires after 60 days. Your notification token is removed when you sign out, when you delete your account, or when your phone stops accepting notifications and we find out on the next send. Price history for products is not personal information and is kept as part of the catalogue. We also keep backup copies of the database for up to 60 days, then they are deleted.
You can delete your account inside the app or the web app. Go to the Profile tab, scroll to the Danger zone at the bottom, and tap Delete account. It asks you to confirm first. This removes your account, your hunt profiles, your watchlist, your advisor chats and your notification token straight away, and it cannot be undone. Copies of it in our backups are deleted within 60 days.
If you would rather we did it, email support@legallightapp.com from the address on your account. We may keep basic records of the request itself where we are required to.
Legal Light is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us their information, email us and we will delete it.
You can edit or delete your hunt profiles and watchlist items inside the app at any time, delete any advisor chat or all of them, and turn the advisor off in the Profile tab. You can ask us for a copy of what we hold on you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing support@legallightapp.com. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights over your personal information, and we will honour those requests.
If we change how we handle your information we will update this page and change the date at the top. If the change is significant we will tell you in the app.
