Luxe Privacy Policy

Effective date: 14 November 2026

Who we are: Luxe is made by an independent developer in the United States, named as the seller on Luxe's App Store page. Questions about this policy or your data: 1mostblessed@gmail.com.

The short version

• Luxe controls your LIFX lights over your own Wi-Fi. Your lights, scenes and settings stay on your devices.
• Luxe has no accounts, no advertising and no analytics.
• When you ask Luxe to design a scene with AI, your description, any photo you add and a list of your lights go to Anthropic, the company that makes the Claude AI model, so it can design the scene. Luxe asks you once on each device before this happens.
• If you subscribe to Luxe Designer, the Luxe Designer service counts how many scenes your household makes each month. It does not keep your descriptions or photos.
• Payments are handled by Apple (App Store) and by RevenueCat, which keeps track of your subscription. Luxe never sees your card or bank details.

What stays on your devices

Luxe keeps these on your Mac (and, for a phone used on its own, on that phone). They are not sent to us:

• Your lights: their names, rooms, roles, placement on the map, LIFX device IDs and their addresses on your network.
• Your scenes and settings: saved scenes, presets you use, the resting state, phone access settings and the list of paired phones.
• Your recent AI sessions: the descriptions you typed, any photos you added, and the scenes that came back, so you can keep changing a scene later. Luxe keeps the 20 most recent sessions and deletes older ones automatically. You can delete a session in Luxe at any time.
• Your own Anthropic API key, if you add one (only in versions of Luxe that allow it), encrypted with your Mac's system keychain protection.
• A household ID: a random code Luxe makes once, so one Luxe Designer subscription works on your Mac and your phones. It says nothing about you.

Luxe finds your lights by talking to them on your local network. Phones you pair with your Mac talk to it directly on the same Wi-Fi.

What goes to Anthropic, and why

Anthropic designs the scene. When you press Generate (or change or remix a scene), Luxe sends Anthropic:

• the description you typed (or the words of a change you asked for),
• any photo you added for that scene,
• a list of the lights the scene is for: their names, rooms, roles, kinds and shapes, and their LIFX device IDs.

Nothing else about you, your home or your network is sent. Anthropic processes this to give Luxe the scene, as a service provider (data processor) for Luxe. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, what is sent through its API is not used to train its models. Anthropic keeps it only for a limited time, as set out in its own policies. Anthropic's privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

With Luxe Designer, requests go from Luxe to the Luxe Designer service and on to Anthropic (see below). With your own Anthropic API key, requests go straight from your Mac to Anthropic under your own agreement with Anthropic, and the Luxe Designer service is not involved.

You can use Luxe without the AI at all: everything else works the same.

What the Luxe Designer service keeps

The Luxe Designer service is run by us on Cloudflare's servers. It checks that your household has a subscription, passes each AI request on to Anthropic, and counts it. It keeps:

• your household ID and whether its subscription is active (from RevenueCat),
• how many scenes your household made each month, by kind (Quality and Fast), so it can apply this month's allowance,
• short-lived sign-in tokens, which expire within an hour.

It does not store your descriptions, photos, the names of your lights or the scenes that come back: it passes them through to Anthropic and back to Luxe. Like any web service, Cloudflare handles your IP address to deliver each request, and keeps short-lived operational logs (the time of a request and whether it succeeded) for up to seven days. Those logs never contain your descriptions, photos or scenes.

Purchases and subscriptions

A Luxe Designer subscription is bought through the App Store (Apple). Apple handles payment and keeps your purchase history under its own privacy policy; Luxe never sees your payment details.

Luxe uses RevenueCat to know whether your subscription is active on all your devices. RevenueCat receives your household ID, the store's record of the purchase (its receipt), which platform it came from, and the app version. RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/.

Children

Luxe is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

• Don't use the AI, or use it with your own key (where Luxe offers that).
• Delete AI sessions in Luxe; deleting Luxe deletes everything it kept on that device.
• Cancel Luxe Designer at any time in your Apple account settings.
• Ask us to delete the monthly counters kept for your household, or to tell you what we hold: write to 1mostblessed@gmail.com. We will ask you to confirm the request from inside Luxe, so nobody else can ask on your behalf.
• Your rights. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or some US states), you may have the right to see, correct or delete the information described here, to object to its use, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We handle it to provide the subscription you asked for and to keep the service running. Write to the address above and we will answer within 30 days.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. If the change affects what Luxe sends to Anthropic, Luxe asks for your agreement again before the next AI request.
