What Lodestone is
Lodestone is a personal life dashboard that helps you plan your day, track your goals, and stay on top of what matters — study, fitness, finances, and more. It is built for individual personal use.
What data we collect
We collect only what you actively provide or connect:
- ·Your email address — used only for sign-in via magic link
- ·Tasks, sessions, check-ins, and goals you create inside the app
- ·Calendar events from calendars you choose to connect (read-only)
- ·App settings and preferences you configure
- ·If you turn on notifications, a device/browser push token and your timezone — used only to time reminders
Google Calendar data
If you connect Google Calendar, Lodestone requests read-only access to your calendar events. We use this access solely to:
- ·Display your events in your Lodestone calendar view
- ·Detect scheduling conflicts between events
- ·Avoid suggesting activities that are already in your schedule
- ·Surface deadline-like events (assignments, exams) as task reminders
We do not modify, delete, or create events in your Google Calendar. We do not share your calendar data with any third party. Calendar event data is stored only in your personal Lodestone account database and is not used for advertising, analytics, or any purpose beyond the features described above.
Your Google OAuth token is encrypted at rest. You can revoke Lodestone's access to your Google Calendar at any time from your Google account permissions page, or by removing the connection inside Lodestone.
AI Coach
Lodestone includes an AI coach feature that answers questions about your progress. When you use it, we send your aggregated activity stats — streaks, session counts, best weeks/months by area — and, if you ask a question, the text of that question, to Anthropic's Claude API to generate a response. We do not send your name, email, or raw calendar data to Anthropic. Anthropic processes this data to generate the response and does not use it to train their models. This feature is entirely optional — Lodestone works fully without ever using it.
Subscription and billing
Lodestone offers a paid subscription. Payment is processed by Stripe (web) or through Google Play Billing via RevenueCat (Android app) — we never see or store your full card details ourselves. These processors receive the billing information necessary to charge you (such as your email and payment method) under their own privacy policies. We store only your subscription status and renewal date to determine your access level within Lodestone.
How we use your data
Your data is used exclusively to make Lodestone work for you:
- ·Generating your personalised daily plan based on your check-in, tasks, and schedule
- ·Tracking progress towards your weekly goals across life areas
- ·Identifying scheduling conflicts in your connected calendars
- ·Suggesting session types based on your past activity and stated goals
We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties except as technically necessary to operate the service — Supabase for database hosting, Vercel for app hosting, and (only if you use those specific features) Anthropic for the AI coach and Stripe/RevenueCat for billing, each under their own privacy policies.
Data storage and security
Your data is stored in a Supabase PostgreSQL database with row-level security enabled, meaning your data is isolated from other users at the database level. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. OAuth tokens are encrypted before storage.
The app is hosted on Vercel. Neither Vercel nor Supabase have access to your personal Lodestone data beyond what is technically required to host and operate the service.
Your rights
You can at any time:
- ·Export or review the data you have created in the app
- ·Delete your account and all associated data by contacting us
- ·Revoke calendar access without deleting your account
- ·Disconnect any connected calendar from within the app
