Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy Full Version
Last Updated: June 16, 2025
Light Technologies (hereinafter "Light Technologies," "we," "us," or "our") is a company registered in Georgia. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use and transfer it, and your rights regarding this data. We comply with applicable data protection laws, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Our goal is to use clear language so you can easily understand our practices.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the personal data necessary for the purposes described in this policy. This includes:
-
Contact Information: When you interact with us (e.g., subscribe to our newsletter or contact customer support), you may provide personal data such as your name and email address. We do not collect postal addresses or IP addresses. Our services are intended for users aged 13 or older, or 16 or older if you are an individual within the European Union or the United Kingdom, in line with Wix’s Terms of Use. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under these ages.
-
Newsletter Data: If you subscribe to our email updates, we collect your email address (and optionally your name) to send you news and product updates.
-
Wix User Data: If you add one of our applications to your Wix site, we receive certain information from Wix to operate the application on your site. Wix also provides us with email addresses of users when they install our applications. Wix also provides us with a unique identifier linked to your Wix site and information about your Light Technologies subscription plan (e.g., whether you have a premium plan for our applications). This identifier is internal and does not directly reveal your identity—we cannot determine your name or contact details from it alone. We do not receive confidential information from Wix, such as login credentials or payment details; these are securely stored by Wix. We separate all data received from Wix and do not store it jointly; email addresses are handled as described below.
-
App Settings and Usage Data: When you use our applications, we save the settings and configurations you choose (e.g., your preferences in settings). These settings and anonymized technical usage data are transmitted from Wix without user identifiers; we receive only a site identifier, ensuring they cannot be linked to specific individuals. We also collect anonymized technical usage data through analytics tools, such as browser type, device information, and pages or screens visited. All analytics data are anonymized by removing user emails and sent to Mixpanel. This data helps us understand how our applications and website work and how users interact with them. We do not use cookies and are unaware if other services use cookies for their operations. We use LocalStorage and SessionStorage for communication between the settings iFrame and the application iFrame. This communication is essential for the correct application functionality.
-
Support Correspondence: If you contact us for support or feedback (e.g., via email or through a feedback form on our site), we collect the information you provide (e.g., email address and message content). This correspondence is stored in Google and Zendesk services until deleted, either upon your request, or for a maximum of one year if no request is made.
-
Your Users' Information (for Wix Site Owners): In some of our Wix applications (e.g., Impressive Welcome Bar), you can offer your site visitors the option to subscribe to your newsletter. In such cases, your users' email addresses are collected directly into your Wix site's contact list. We do not access or control your users’ data, which is stored by Wix on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring you own all rights to any User Content (e.g., email addresses collected) and have the necessary consents and authority to allow Wix and Light Technologies to process this data, as required by Wix’s Terms of Use.
We do not collect postal addresses or IP addresses. Additionally, we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, such as government ID numbers, financial account information (credit card numbers are handled by payment systems like Wix or app stores), race, religion, health data, etc., unless you explicitly provide such information (which we do not request for our services).
We also do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 years old. Our services are not intended for children. If we learn that a child under 16 has provided personal data, we will delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us.
Light Technologies, like Wix, does not provide legal advice or recommendations regarding applicable laws or compliance requirements. For legal guidance, please consult a professional.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data to:
-
Provide and improve our services, such as enabling app functionality and responding to support requests.
-
Communicate with you, including sending service updates, newsletters, or support responses, with your consent for marketing purposes.
-
Analyze anonymized usage data to enhance our services and troubleshoot issues.
-
Comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse, such as fraud detection.
3. Legal Bases for Processing Data (GDPR Compliance)
Under GDPR, we process personal data based on:
-
Consent: For marketing communications (e.g., newsletters) or non-essential cookies.
-
Contractual Necessity: To provide our services, such as app functionality.
-
Legitimate Interests: For anonymized analytics, service improvement, or fraud prevention, where your rights are not overridden.
-
Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws or regulations.
Since app settings and analytics data are anonymized and cannot be linked to individuals, they are not considered personal data under GDPR, reducing compliance requirements for these data types.
4. Consent and How to Withdraw It
You may provide consent for certain data processing, such as receiving newsletters. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing from emails or contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or share your data for third-party marketing. We may share data with:
-
Service Providers: For hosting, email delivery, or analytics (e.g., Wix, Mixpanel, Mailchimp, Google, Zendesk). These providers process data only on our behalf and under strict confidentiality agreements. We transmit data to Mixpanel, Mailchimp, Google, and Zendesk over an encrypted HTTPS protocol using our partners’ APIs, with data encrypted at rest by our partners where applicable. User emails are sent to our DigitalOcean servers via HTTPS, where they are encrypted, and separately to MailChimp via their API over HTTPS.
-
Legal Authorities: To comply with court orders or protect against security threats.
-
Business Transfers: In case of mergers or acquisitions, with notification or consent as required.
Email addresses, app settings, and analytics data are stored separately and shared only as necessary for the specified purposes.
For more information on how Wix processes data as part of our applications, please refer to Wix’s Terms of Use at.
6. Data Storage and Security
Data Storage Locations. We store your data on servers located in various jurisdictions to ensure the availability and performance of our services. Data types are stored separately:
-
Analytics Data: Stored on Mixpanel servers located in Europe. These data are anonymized, cannot be linked to individual users, and are retained indefinitely for analysis purposes.
-
Email Addresses: Stored on Wix servers (USA, Europe, Israel), Mailchimp servers (USA), and our own servers hosted on DigitalOcean (data centers in USA, Europe, Asia, Canada). On our own servers, email addresses are stored encrypted and retained until you unsubscribe. User emails are also stored separately on MailChimp servers.
-
App Settings: Stored on our own servers hosted on DigitalOcean and/or on Wix servers, depending on the service used. These settings are anonymized, cannot be linked to individual users, and are retained for one month after app uninstallation.
-
Support Correspondence: Stored in Google and Zendesk services until deleted, either upon your request, or for a maximum of one year if no request is made.
Security Measures. We implement various technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
-
Encryption of data in transit (e.g., our website uses HTTPS).
-
Secure protocols and APIs for data transmission between Wix and our applications.
-
Access controls to limit data access to authorized employees only.
-
Regular software updates to address security vulnerabilities.
-
Monitoring for security breaches and incident response plans.
-
Encryption of sensitive data at rest, such as email addresses on our servers, using industry-standard practices.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We recommend using strong passwords and logging out from shared devices. In case of a data breach involving personal data, we will notify affected users and authorities within 72 hours, per GDPR.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law:
-
Email Addresses: Retained until you unsubscribe from our newsletter or request deletion.
-
Support Correspondence: Stored in Google and Zendesk services until deleted, either upon your request, or for a maximum of one year if no request is made.
-
App Settings: Anonymized and retained for one month after app uninstallation, then deleted. These settings are processed by removing identifiable information (e.g., user IDs) and aggregating data to ensure they cannot be linked to individuals.
-
Analytics Data: Anonymized, not linked to individuals, and retained indefinitely for analysis purposes. These data are processed by removing identifiable information (e.g., user IDs) and aggregating data to prevent linkage to individuals, in addition to receiving only site identifiers from Wix.
Data is deleted or anonymized upon request or after retention periods, with secure handling of backups. Since app settings and analytics data are anonymized, they are not subject to GDPR deletion requirements.
8. International Data Transfers
Email addresses and support correspondence may be transferred globally. User emails are sent to our DigitalOcean servers via HTTPS, where they are encrypted, and separately to MailChimp via their API over HTTPS, where they are stored independently. We ensure compliance with GDPR and other applicable laws for personal data transfers.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Under GDPR, you have rights to:
-
Access, rectify, or erase your personal data (e.g., email addresses, support correspondence).
-
Restrict or object to processing.
-
Data portability for personal data provided by you.
Under CCPA, California residents have similar rights, including the right to know, delete, and correct personal data, with no discrimination for exercising these rights. Since we do not sell data or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, opt-out rights for sales do not apply. To exercise your rights, contact us at support@light-tech.io. Anonymized data (app settings and analytics) is not subject to these rights as it cannot be linked to individuals.
If your request to exercise these rights is denied, you have the right to appeal. You may contact us again at support@light-tech.io for a review within 45 days (as required by the Colorado Privacy Act) or 60 days (as required by the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act). We will notify you of the appeal decision within these timeframes (45 or 60 days). Alternatively, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom (https://ico.org.uk/) or the relevant national data protection authority in the European Union.
10. Your Choices and Opt-Out Options
You can:
-
Opt out of marketing emails via unsubscribe links.
-
Manage cookies through browser settings to control anonymized data collection.
-
Request deletion or access to your personal data by contacting us.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy, notifying users of significant changes. Continued use of our services implies acceptance of updates. Check this policy periodically.
