Scope and Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Loombus may collect, use, store, disclose, protect, and retain information connected to the website, mobile applications, accounts, discussions, messages, private Rooms, files, search, AI tools, Local, businesses, services, requests, jobs, events, marketplace listings, appointments, matching, subscriptions, support, and related platform operations.

The information processed depends on the features you use, the visibility you select, whether you are signed in, your device and application, your subscription, your role in a Room or organization, and legal or safety requirements.

02

Account, Profile, and Authentication Information

Loombus may support email, Google, Apple, and other authentication methods that become available. A sign-in provider may send Loombus an account identifier, email address, basic profile information, and authentication status permitted by that sign-in flow.

Optional device biometric or passcode unlock is performed by the operating system. Loombus does not receive or store your fingerprint or face template.

  • email address, internal user ID, login method, authentication provider, email-confirmation state, session state, and account creation information;
  • username, display name, avatar, biography, links, badges, supporter or creator details, notification preferences, topic preferences, and profile settings;
  • password-reset, recovery, identity-provider, login, logout, saved-session, and security-event information;
  • account status, warnings, restrictions, suspensions, bans, deactivation, deletion requests, enforcement reasons, administrative notes, and audit records.
03

Age-Safety Information

Loombus may collect date of birth, age band, age-gate completion state, under-13 status, teen status, guardian-required status, and Teen Safety Mode signals to determine eligibility and apply age-appropriate controls.

Exact date of birth is not intended to be displayed publicly. Age-related information may be used for private-message controls, contact protections, warnings, moderation priority, investigation, legal compliance, and child safety.

04

Discussions, Replies, Profiles, and Activity

  • discussion titles, bodies, structured discussion type, topics, Reality Lenses, purpose, tags, sources, metadata, edits, and publication status;
  • replies, reply structure, mentions, reactions, saves, follows, blocks, reports, reading history, topic alerts, notifications, and activity records;
  • images, Video Context, PDFs, links, captions, alt text, filenames, file types, sizes, duration, thumbnails, processing state, and related metadata;
  • private folders, saved items, private notes, Stickies, drafts, and personal organization information;
  • Signal-related and State of the Discussion activity, including data used to calculate, explain, cache, or display supported indicators and summaries.
05

Private Rooms and Shared Workspace Information

Private Room content is limited by membership and role controls, but Room owners, authorized managers, recipients, and other members may be able to view, copy, download, or disclose it. Loombus may process limited Room information for delivery, support, security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and policy enforcement.

  • Room name, description, category, owner, administrators, members, invitations, roles, permissions, join and leave records, and access state;
  • Room discussions, announcements, calendars, events, files, resources, services, tasks, polls, forms, responses, knowledge items, and other workspace records;
  • Room-level reports, moderation records, member-management actions, audit information, and feature configuration;
  • search indexes and authorization metadata needed to return Room content only to members who are permitted to access it.
06

Private Messages and Communication Records

Loombus may process message content, attachments, sender and recipient, conversation membership, timestamps, typing state, delivery and read state, archive or deletion state, mute settings, report counts, and moderation metadata needed to provide private messaging.

Private messages are not public, but they are not guaranteed to be confidential. Recipients can copy or disclose messages. Loombus may access, preserve, or disclose message records when reasonably necessary for a report, safety issue, support request, security event, legal obligation, or enforcement action.

07

Businesses, Services, Requests, Jobs, Events, Marketplace, and Appointments

  • business or organization name, responsible owner, description, category, contact details, website, hours, service area, approval state, and management roles;
  • service title, scope, pricing or price range, availability, location or remote status, qualifications, media, inquiry data, and appointment options;
  • request title, description, category, budget, location, remote status, timing, requester information, responses, and match state;
  • job title, employer, role description, compensation information, employment type, location or remote status, application instructions, dates, and poster identity;
  • event organizer, title, description, date and time, venue or remote information, price, capacity, age or access details, reminders, and attendance-related activity;
  • marketplace item, seller, description, category, price, condition, location, images, status, trust-review data, watchlist state, and inquiry activity;
  • appointment service, provider, requester, requested and confirmed time, status, notes, cancellation information, and related communications;
  • match candidates, compatibility data, match scores, explanations, dismissals, contact actions, and records used to avoid repeating or misapplying suggestions.
08

Location and Local Discovery Information

When you use Local or create a location-based record, Loombus may process a place name, city, region, postal code, address, service area, remote status, radius, geocoded coordinates, approximate distance, map-provider response, and filter choices.

Location information may come from what you type or select and from geocoding or mapping providers. Loombus does not need continuous device location for ordinary Local search unless a specific feature clearly asks for it and permission is granted.

Exact stored coordinates are used for platform calculations and are not intended to be exposed in ordinary public distance results. Information you place in a public address, description, photo, event venue, service area, or contact field may still reveal a precise location.

09

Search, Filters, and Discovery Activity

Search Everything searches Loombus content and platform destinations. It is not an open-web search engine. Search authorization may allow you to find private Room content or private saved items you are entitled to view, without making those records public.

  • search terms, filter choices, categories, date ranges, remote status, radius, selected place, result type, pagination, and sorting preferences;
  • results returned, permissions applied, result clicks, destination opened, and whether a query produced no results;
  • index records, excerpts, titles, metadata, file references, and visibility information needed to search authorized content;
  • relevance, safety, quality, recency, location, and integrity signals used to organize or restrict results.
10

AI-Assisted Feature Information

Ask Loombus AI may use permitted Loombus search results to generate a grounded answer. Private Room content and private saved notes are excluded from Ask Loombus AI answer context. Ordinary search may still show an authorized user private results that the AI answer does not process.

Other AI features may process content that you expressly submit or content necessary to generate a requested discussion-level feature. Outputs may be stored or cached to display results, manage usage, reduce repeated processing, investigate abuse, and improve reliability.

Do not submit confidential, privileged, regulated, highly sensitive, or third-party information unless you have the right to do so and understand the processing risk.

  • prompts, instructions, selected actions, discussion content, replies, titles, topics, tags, Reality Lenses, sources, and metadata submitted or required for an AI feature;
  • generated summaries, key takeaways, rewrites, checks, maps, related ideas, answer text, source links, ratings, feedback, errors, model or provider metadata, and usage events;
  • subscription tier, monthly limits, cached-output keys, usage counters, Extra AI Pack balances, and abuse-prevention information.
11

Subscriptions, Purchases, and Billing Information

Full card numbers and bank credentials are generally handled by the applicable payment provider or app store rather than stored by Loombus. Loombus may receive limited billing and transaction information needed to grant access, manage subscriptions, respond to disputes, and prevent fraud.

User-to-user payments for marketplace items, services, events, jobs, or appointments are separate from Loombus subscription billing unless a feature expressly states that Loombus processes the transaction.

  • plan, entitlement, renewal, trial, cancellation, expiration, upgrade, downgrade, and usage-limit information;
  • web payment processor customer, checkout, subscription, invoice, transaction, dispute, refund, and fraud-status identifiers;
  • app-store product, transaction, original-transaction, purchase, restoration, renewal, and entitlement information;
  • billing support messages, receipt or invoice references, charge dates, and records needed to resolve payment issues.
12

Device, Application, Technical, and Security Information

  • IP-related information, browser, operating system, device type, app version, language, time zone, network and request metadata;
  • session identifiers, authentication tokens, cookies, local storage, session storage, appearance setting, feature state, and device-specific preferences;
  • push-notification token, platform, permission state, delivery status, notification type, and device-registration information;
  • logs, diagnostics, errors, performance timing, route activity, API status, database events, file-processing events, and service-health information;
  • security events, rate limits, suspicious activity, blocked requests, failed logins, abuse signals, and integrity checks.
13

Support, Safety, Legal, and Rights Requests

Loombus may collect the email address, category, subject, description, account context, URLs, usernames, screenshots, attachments, device information, correspondence, internal status, reviewer notes, and outcome connected to a support request.

Reports, appeals, accessibility requests, privacy requests, copyright or DMCA notices, counter-notices, trademark concerns, refund requests, payment disputes, law-enforcement requests, and other legal matters may require additional identity, contact, signature, ownership, authorization, or transaction information.

14

Sources of Information

  • you, when you create an account, publish content, send a message, search, use AI, submit a listing, manage a Room, make a purchase, or contact support;
  • other users, Room owners, organizations, businesses, providers, requesters, employers, organizers, sellers, buyers, or reporters who interact with you;
  • authentication providers, payment processors, app stores, email providers, push-notification services, mapping and geocoding providers, storage providers, security providers, and other service providers;
  • publicly available information or official records when reasonably used to review attribution, rights, fraud, safety, legal compliance, or a user-submitted claim;
  • the devices, applications, browsers, systems, and networks used to access Loombus.
15

How Loombus Uses Information

  • create, authenticate, maintain, secure, and recover accounts;
  • display public profiles, content, listings, directories, and activity according to selected visibility;
  • deliver messages, Room content, files, notifications, reminders, inquiries, applications, appointment requests, and other communications;
  • operate Search Everything, Local, filters, distance calculations, matching, recommendations, saved tools, and discovery;
  • provide AI-assisted features, source links, cached outputs, usage limits, and reliability controls;
  • process subscriptions, purchases, refunds, disputes, app-store entitlements, and billing support;
  • moderate content, review listings, investigate reports, protect minors, prevent fraud, enforce policies, and respond to security incidents;
  • measure performance, diagnose errors, maintain infrastructure, conduct audits, test features, and improve the service;
  • send transactional, account, security, notification, support, policy, and permitted promotional communications;
  • comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect rights and safety, resolve disputes, and defend Loombus and its users.
16

Public, Member-Visible, Private, and Restricted Information

Public or member-visible information may include username, display name, avatar, biography, badges, public discussions and replies, public follower relationships, businesses, services, requests, jobs, events, marketplace listings, public profile links, and other activity designated for discovery.

Private or restricted information may include messages, Room content, private notes, saved folders, drafts, account settings, date of birth, billing status, support records, reports, moderation records, internal location coordinates, and administrative information.

Feature controls reduce visibility but cannot prevent recipients or authorized members from copying or disclosing what they can access. Removing content does not retrieve copies already made by others.

17

When Loombus Shares or Discloses Information

Loombus does not currently operate a cross-site behavioral advertising network and does not sell personal information to data brokers. If that practice materially changes, Loombus will update the applicable notices and provide controls required by law.

  • with hosting, database, authentication, storage, email, push, payment, app-store, mapping, geocoding, analytics, diagnostics, security, file-processing, and AI service providers;
  • with users or the public when you intentionally use a public or shared feature;
  • with Room owners, managers, organizations, businesses, providers, employers, organizers, sellers, or other counterparties as needed for the interaction you initiate;
  • with professional advisors, auditors, insurers, contractors, or vendors subject to appropriate obligations;
  • when required by law, subpoena, court order, warrant, regulatory request, or other valid legal process;
  • when reasonably necessary to protect a child, respond to a credible threat, investigate fraud or abuse, enforce policies, secure the platform, or protect rights and safety;
  • in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or transfer of platform operations;
  • with your consent or direction.
18

Data Retention

Loombus retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, account and feature operation, safety, legal compliance, billing, dispute resolution, audits, fraud prevention, backups, security, and enforcement.

Retention periods differ by record. Public content may remain until removed. Messages, Room records, listings, search indexes, AI outputs, support cases, billing records, logs, audit records, and backups may follow different operational schedules.

After deletion or account closure, information may remain temporarily in backups, caches, logs, search indexes, legal holds, moderation records, transaction records, support records, or material already copied by others. Loombus may retain limited information to document consent, enforce restrictions, prevent repeat abuse, meet tax or accounting duties, handle disputes, and comply with law.

19

Your Choices and Controls

Loombus may need to verify your identity, account authority, jurisdiction, or relationship to the requested information. Some requests may be denied or limited where permitted by law, including for safety, fraud prevention, legal obligations, another person’s rights, or records Loombus must retain.

  • edit supported profile, business, service, request, job, event, marketplace, appointment, and Room information;
  • choose whether to publish, save, follow, block, report, message, join a Room, enable notifications, or use a location-based filter;
  • manage supported email, push, topic-alert, appearance, privacy, and account settings;
  • cancel supported subscriptions through the applicable billing channel;
  • deactivate an account or submit an account-deletion request through available settings;
  • contact Loombus about access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or appeal rights that may apply in your jurisdiction.
20

Email, Push Notifications, and Communications

Loombus may send account confirmation, password reset, login, security, message, reply, follow, Room, event, reminder, appointment, subscription, billing, support, policy, and service-operation communications.

You can control supported notification categories and unsubscribe from eligible promotional or digest email. Essential account, security, transaction, legal, and service messages may still be sent.

21

Security

Loombus uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information, including authentication, access controls, logging, database policies, service-provider protections, and operational review.

No internet service, mobile app, database, message system, AI provider, payment provider, storage service, or transmission method is perfectly secure. Loombus cannot guarantee absolute security, permanent availability, or that every harmful file, account, or incident will be detected.

Protect your password, email, identity-provider account, device, recovery method, and verification codes. Contact support if you suspect compromise.

22

Children and Teen Privacy

Loombus is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly permit them to create accounts. If Loombus learns that personal information was collected from a child under 13 in violation of applicable requirements, Loombus may restrict the account, delete information, seek appropriate consent where legally available, and preserve limited records needed for safety or legal compliance.

Teen Safety Mode may apply additional controls to users ages 13 through 17. Parents or guardians who believe a child under 13 used Loombus or who have a safety concern involving a teen may contact Support.

23

International Processing

Loombus is operated from the United States. Information may be processed, stored, or transferred in the United States and other countries where Loombus or its providers operate. Those countries may have different data protection laws.

24

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Loombus may update this Policy to reflect new features, data practices, providers, legal requirements, safety needs, or business changes. The updated version applies on the effective date stated in the Policy.

Material changes may be communicated through Loombus, email, or another reasonable method where required or appropriate.

25

Privacy Contact

This Privacy Policy is issued by Loombus LLC, a Florida limited liability company and the operator of Loombus.

Formal correspondence may be mailed to:
Loombus LLC
2640 Blanding Blvd, Ste 201-167
Middleburg, FL 32068
United States

Submit a privacy question or request through Loombus Support or email support@loombus.com. Do not send passwords, verification codes, full payment credentials, or unnecessary sensitive records.

26

Mobile Numbers and SMS Authentication

You may voluntarily provide a mobile phone number to use supported phone-based sign-in or to add and verify a mobile number on your Loombus account. Before Loombus sends an authentication or verification code, you must actively select the separate, unchecked SMS-consent control presented with the mobile-number form. Loombus may then use that number to send one-time passcodes and closely related transactional authentication or account-verification messages that you request. This SMS authentication program is not used for marketing or promotional messages.

SMS consent is separate from accepting the Loombus Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and is not selected by default. Message frequency varies based on your user-initiated sign-in, verification, or account-security requests. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier and plan. SMS delivery can depend on your carrier, network, device, and service-provider availability.

Your full mobile number is not displayed on your public Loombus profile. Loombus does not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Loombus may disclose mobile-number information to authentication, telecommunications, SMS-delivery, security, hosting, or infrastructure providers only as reasonably necessary to provide, protect, troubleshoot, or comply with legal requirements for the service.

Phone-number discovery is off by default and is separate from consent to receive an authentication code. Enabling a supported discovery setting does not make your phone number public. Where available, you may use another supported Loombus sign-in method instead of phone-based sign-in. See the Terms of Service for additional SMS authentication terms.
