Last Updated: 27 March, 2026
At PharosLife, we are building a platform designed to help individuals and families navigate complex life moments — planning ahead, supporting loved ones, and managing what happens when life changes.
We understand that this involves deeply personal information. Protecting that information is fundamental to how we operate.
1. Our Approach to Privacy
PharosLife is built on three core principles:
- Minimization — We collect only what is necessary
- Protection — We apply safeguards aligned with modern security practices
- Respect — Your data is never sold, rented, or exploited
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
A. Information You Provide Directly
- Name and email address (e.g., waitlist, account creation)
- Profile and planning inputs (e.g., life categories, notes, checklists)
- Survey responses, interviews, or feedback
- Communications with support
B. Account & Platform Data
- Preferences and settings
- Activity within the platform (e.g., progress, task completion)
- Delegation and sharing settings (if applicable)
C. Device & Usage Information
- IP address, browser type, device type
- Pages visited, session duration, interactions
- General location inferred from IP address
This information is typically collected through standard technologies such as cookies and analytics tools.
3. What We Intentionally Do Not Collect
PharosLife is designed to reduce unnecessary risk. In early versions of the platform, we do not require or encourage users to store:
- Social Security numbers
- Full financial account numbers
- Passwords or login credentials
- Government-issued identification numbers
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and operate the platform
- Generate structured workflows and guidance
- Personalize your experience across planning and life events
- Improve product performance and usability
- Communicate with you about your account or updates
- Detect, prevent, and address security or misuse
We may also use aggregated or de-identified data to understand usage patterns, improve product design, and conduct internal analysis. This data cannot reasonably identify you.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell or share personal information. We may disclose information in limited circumstances:
A. Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, payments) who process data on our behalf, are contractually required to protect it, and cannot use it for their own purposes.
B. Legal & Safety Obligations
We may disclose information to comply with applicable law, legal processes, or regulatory requests, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of users, PharosLife, or others.
C. Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain secure sessions, remember preferences, understand how users interact with the platform, and improve performance and usability.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may impact certain functionality.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, and comply with legal obligations. We consider the purpose of collection, the sensitivity of the data, and legal and regulatory requirements.
8. How We Protect Your Information
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS)
- Secure infrastructure and hosting
- Access controls and authentication measures
- Monitoring for unauthorized access or misuse
While no system is completely secure, we design PharosLife to minimize both likelihood and impact of exposure.
9. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Access your personal information
- Update or correct your data
- Request deletion
- Manage communication preferences
For residents of California, these rights are protected under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by CPRA), including:
- Right to know what data is collected
- Right to delete personal information
- Right to correct inaccurate information
- Right to non-discrimination
We do not sell personal data, so no opt-out of sale is required.
