Lantern Account & Data Deletion

Last updated: August 1, 2026

If you have a Lantern account, you may request the permanent deletion of your account and the personal data associated with it at any time.

Deleting the Lantern app from your device does not, by itself, delete your account or data stored by Lantern.

How to request deletion

To request deletion:

1. Send an email to support@withlantern.ai.
2. Use the subject line Lantern Account Deletion Request.
3. Send the request from the email address associated with your Lantern account. If


you cannot send from that address, include it in your message and explain that you

no longer have access to it.

We may ask for additional information to verify that you own the account. Do not send your password, authentication codes, or other sensitive credentials.

Data that will be deleted

After account ownership has been verified, we will delete the data associated with the account, including:

• Account identifiers and authentication records, including your email address,


Lantern user ID, and linked sign-in identity

• Saved vocabulary and word collections
• Notes, saved reading content, and reading progress stored by Lantern
• Learning activity and progress, including review history and streak information
• App settings and preferences stored by Lantern
• Support, diagnostic, and activity data that can reasonably be linked to the account,


unless it must be retained for one of the reasons described below

Data that may be retained

We may retain limited information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, maintain security, prevent fraud or abuse, resolve disputes, or document that we completed a deletion request. This may include correspondence about the deletion request and limited security records. We retain such information only for as long as it is needed for the applicable purpose.

Aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer be linked to you or your account may also remain.

Processing time

We process verified deletion requests within 30 calendar days. We will send a confirmation to the contact email address when the deletion has been completed or contact you if additional information is required.
