What we can and cannot see
A plain-language look at Lumina's data posture. This is deliberately written in careful, conservative terms, and will be expanded once our legal review of the fuller wording is complete.
How your traffic is routed
When you connect, your device's internet traffic is routed through Lumina's relay servers instead of going directly from your device. This means your network provider and the sites you visit see the relay server's address, not your device's own address. Traffic between your device and Lumina's servers is encrypted.
What we do not do
Lumina does not build features that log which sites you visit tied to your account.
What running the service requires
Operating any VPN service involves some standard operational data, for example the fact that a connection took place, needed to keep the service reliable and secure. The exact detail of what that consists of is being finalised as the rest of Lumina's build is completed, and we will publish specifics here once that work and our legal review are both done, rather than describe it in general terms now.
Your account
Signing in requires an account. Account data is kept for as long as your account is open, plus a short period (30 days) after you close it. If an account has no connections for 12 months, it is automatically deleted.
App exclusions
You can exclude specific apps from the VPN in Settings. Excluded apps are not protected: they use your device's own address and are visible to your network provider. See the split-tunnelling explainer for the full detail. The list of apps you exclude is stored on your device.
No advertising, no DNS filtering yet
Lumina carries no advertising. DNS-level filtering is planned but is not a live feature at this stage, so there is nothing to describe about it here yet.
