Privacy Policy for Five Lights

Last updated 28 September 2026

Five Lights ("we", "us") helps people see themselves more clearly. We take privacy seriously and collect as little as we can. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have over it.

Who we are. Five Lights is run by Furkan İşlek, an individual who is accountable for how Five Lights handles personal information. Questions, requests or complaints: findyour@fivelights.app.

What we collect

Birth details you enter into the free type calculator: your birth date, birth time (optional), and birth city. These are used to calculate your Five Lights type.
Your result: the light our engine calculates from those details.
Your email address: only if you choose to join the waitlist.
If you order or receive a reading: your name and email address, your birth date, time and place, the answers you give on the intake form, and the reading we write for you. Payments are handled by Stripe; we receive the amount and an order reference, not your card details.
If you answer the feedback form: your answers, linked to your order, and your choice about whether we may quote you.
Basic usage analytics: cookieless page-view and event data, via Umami, whose own policy states it anonymises what it collects. No cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles. Cloudflare, which hosts this site, also runs its own page-load analytics and a bot-detection check on every page, including this one; the bot check sets one security cookie, not used to track you, that lasts up to a year.
The fonts on this page: served by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to do so.

The free type calculator does not ask for your name, and we do not store its birth details together with your email. The improvement dataset (birth details + result) is kept separately from any email you give us.

Why we use it, and our legal basis

With your consent (the checkbox you tick before calculating your type), we use your birth details and result to:

Provide the service: calculate and show you your Five Lights type.
Improve the service: study patterns across submissions to make our readings and product better.

If you order a reading, we use your name, birth details, and intake answers to write and deliver it: that is what fulfilling your order requires, not something we ask you to opt into. Your birth details and answers from the intake form are used only to write and deliver your reading. They are not added to the improvement dataset.

If you join the waitlist, we use your email to tell you when Five Lights products launch and to send related updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Where your data lives and how we protect it

Birth details and results are stored in a secured database (Supabase). Access is restricted to server-side keys that are never exposed in your browser.
All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
Emails are held by our email provider (Brevo) for waitlist messages and for order-related emails such as your intake link and reminders.
We minimise what we keep and never sell your data to anyone.

How long we keep it

Waitlist emails: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
Birth details + results (improvement dataset): kept for as long as needed to improve the product; you can request deletion (see below).
Feedback answers: kept linked to your order for up to 3 years after you send them, then anonymised (everything that links them back to you is removed).

Who we share it with

We use a small set of trusted providers ("subprocessors") to run Five Lights. They process data only on our behalf:

Supabase: secure database storage.
Brevo: waitlist emails, and order emails such as your intake link and reminders.
Cloudflare: website hosting and delivery, plus the page-load analytics and bot-detection check described above.
Render: the calculation service.
Umami: cookieless, privacy-focused analytics.
Stripe: payment processing for orders.
Google Fonts: serves the typefaces on this site.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for advertising.

International transfers

Our providers process data in countries other than your own, including outside Canada and Turkey. While it is held there, that country's courts, police and national security authorities may be able to access it under that country's laws.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

Access the data we hold about you.
Delete it. Email us and we'll remove it.
Withdraw consent or unsubscribe from emails.

You can also complain to a data protection authority: in Canada, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca); in Turkey, the Personal Data Protection Board (kvkk.gov.tr); elsewhere, the authority where you live. To exercise any right, email findyour@fivelights.app.

Children

Five Lights is not intended for anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has given us their information, contact us and we will delete it.

A note on what Five Lights is

The Five Lights Method is our own synthesis and language. It reads three reflection frameworks through one lens and one vocabulary: Human Design's typology of energy and decision-making, the North Node's model of growth direction, and the four-circle purpose map widely known as Ikigai. We didn't invent any of them and we don't claim to; we built the synthesis, the reading, and the names you see here. This is a self-reflection tool, not an empirically validated science and not a prediction, and it is not medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. Keep what rings true, and leave the rest.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Five Lights grows. We'll post the new version here and update the date at the top.
