Homeowner Privacy Notice

This notice is for you, the customer, when a contractor sends you a LightDeck proposal, estimate, invoice, or design preview. It is not the contractor agreement and it is not the contractor-facing Terms. Those govern the contractor's use of LightDeck. This page tells you what LightDeck itself holds about you and how to ask us about it.

What we hold about you

• Your contact and property details as your contractor entered them: name, service address, and the phone number or email they use to reach you.
• The document itself: the packages, prices, scope, fixture placement, and any terms your contractor wrote.
• Photos of your property that your contractor uploaded, and any night-design image generated from them.
• What you do on the link: that the link was opened and when, a one-way hashed form of your IP address, and your browser's user-agent string. We keep the hash rather than the address itself.
• Your signature record if you approve: the name you typed, the timestamp, the package and totals you approved, and a fingerprint of the exact document you signed.
• Your choices: the package you picked, whether you confirmed the fixture placement, any change you asked for, and, when your contractor includes a photography and media release, whether you declined use of photos of your property for marketing.

We do not sell this data, we do not use it to advertise to you, and we do not share it with other contractors on LightDeck.

Who processes it

Your contractor decides what to collect about you and why. LightDeck processes it for them and uses a small number of service providers to do that:

• Supabase: database hosting for the proposal, estimate, invoice, and signature record
• Vercel: application hosting, delivery of the page you open, and configured file storage for property photos
• Resend: delivery of the emails your contractor sends through LightDeck
• Twilio: text messages. If your contractor has text alerts turned on, LightDeck texts them when you open or sign, and that text can include your name, the property address, the package you approved, its total, and the deposit due. LightDeck does not start text conversations with you about your contractor's proposal. It texts you about it only if you texted LightDeck first and have not replied STOP.
• Google Fonts: typography on the page you open; your browser requests the font files from Google, which sees your IP address
• Google: optional map and place features when your contractor uses them
• OpenAI and Anthropic: night-design generation and scope writing when your contractor uses those features, which can include a photo of your property
• Stripe: payment processing if and when your contractor turns on a payment link; payment paths are off in the current beta
• ATTOM: optional property data when your contractor configures it

How long it is kept

A signed proposal is a business record, so your contractor keeps it while it is needed for the job, for warranty and tax purposes, and for any dispute. We keep it for as long as your contractor's account holds it, and in routine backups after that. We do not promise an automatic fixed deletion window, because what can be removed depends on the record type, legal obligations, and backup schedules. We will tell you what applies to your request.

Asking us for a copy, a correction, or deletion

Start with your contractor, since the records are theirs and they can act on them directly. You can also email us at hello@lightdeck.tech and we will pass the request to the contractor who sent you the document, help them carry it out, and tell you what applies. Include the link you were sent so we can find the right record. We may need to verify who you are before acting.

If you want your property photos left out of the contractor's marketing, tell them in writing. When their proposal includes a photography and media release, the proposal carries a checkbox for exactly that, and your choice is recorded with your signature and shown to them.

Depending on where you live, state law may give you additional rights over your personal information. Email us and we will route the request.

Cookies and tracking

The pages your contractor sends you carry no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics. The page records that the link was opened, so your contractor knows their document reached you.
