Terms of Use
Lantern works because people are kind to each other and honest about hard days. These terms are what we ask of you, and what you can expect from us.
Who can use Lantern
You must be 18 or older. You use your real name.
Your account
You sign in with a code sent to your email (or with Apple), so keep your email account secure. You are responsible for what is posted from your account.
Zero tolerance for abuse
Lantern has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive members. Not allowed, ever:
- Harassment, threats, bullying, or hate toward anyone
- Mocking or degrading people with disabilities or the people who care for them
- Anything that sexualizes, exploits or endangers a child or a vulnerable adult (see our Child Safety Standards)
- Sharing someone else's private information, or photos of other people's children without their parent's or guardian's consent
- Selling or promoting unproven cures or treatments, scams, spam, or impersonation
We remove content that breaks these rules and remove members who post it. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
Not medical advice
Members share what worked for them. That is experience, not medical, legal or financial advice. Talk to a qualified professional before making decisions about someone's care.
Reporting and blocking
Every post and profile has Report or block. Blocking means you and that member no longer see each other anywhere in Lantern.
What you post stays yours
You own what you post. By posting it you let Lantern store it and show it to members inside the app. That permission ends when you delete it or your account. Only post what you have the right to share.
Copyright
If something on Lantern infringes your copyright, email hello@yerisoh.com with your contact details, the work, where it appears, and a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized. We remove infringing material.
The service
Lantern is provided as-is. We work to keep it running but cannot promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change or end features, and we may suspend accounts that break these terms.
Changes and contact
If these terms change in a way that matters, we will update the date above and tell members in the app. Questions: hello@yerisoh.com.
