Introduction Lighthouse is committed to fostering a safe, secure, and respectful community for all users. We prioritize user safety, privacy, and security through a combination of advanced technology, proactive moderation, and user empowerment tools. This Safety & Security Policy outlines the measures we take to protect users, prevent abuse, and respond to security incidents effectively.

Lighthouse has implemented a range of preventative measures to detect and mitigate risks, including secure data storage, two-factor authentication (2FA), automated and manual content moderation, and fraud prevention tools. Users have access to reporting mechanisms to flag inappropriate behavior, and our moderation team enforces platform guidelines to ensure compliance.

Maintaining a safe and positive community is a shared responsibility. Users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct, exercise caution when engaging with others, and report any violations or security concerns. Lighthouse reserves the right to take appropriate action, including content removal, account suspension, or law enforcement involvement, when necessary.

• Two-factor authentication (2FA) for account creation, requiring a verified phone number to prevent bot activity, fake accounts, and fraudulent sign-ups.
• Continuous security monitoring, including real-time detection of suspicious activity and automated alerts for potential threats.
• Regular security audits to assess vulnerabilities, apply updates, and enhance platform resilience against cyber threats.

2.2 User Reporting & Blocking Features

Lighthouse provides users with tools to report and block individuals engaging in misconduct or violating platform policies. Users can report:

• Other users for harassment, threats, discrimination, inappropriate behavior, or any actions that violate Lighthouse’s community standards.
• Comments, posts, or prompts that contain prohibited content, misinformation, spam, or any other violations of platform guidelines.

Users also have the ability to block other users, preventing further interaction. Reports are reviewed by Lighthouse’s moderation team, which evaluates the severity of the issue and takes appropriate action, including issuing warnings, removing content, temporarily restricting accounts, or permanently banning repeat offenders.

2.3 Code of Conduct & Safety Tips

Lighthouse promotes a respectful and secure environment by providing a clear Code of Conduct and safety guidelines for users. The dedicated safety tips section offers guidance on:

• Identifying and avoiding scams, phishing attempts, and deceptive interactions from malicious actors.
• Best practices for engaging with new connections safely, including meeting in public places, verifying identities, and exercising caution when sharing personal details.

2.4 Prevention of Spam, Fake Accounts & Bots

Lighthouse takes spam prevention and account authenticity seriously to maintain a high-quality user experience. Measures include:

• Enforcing strict bot prevention protocols, requiring a verified 2FA-enabled phone number for new account creation to reduce the risk of automated bot accounts.
• Automated and manual monitoring of spam, fake profiles, and fraudulent activity, with real-time detection and flagging mechanisms.
• Immediate removal of spam content, suspension of fake accounts, and permanent bans for repeat offenders who attempt to manipulate platform features.

These proactive measures help ensure that Lighthouse remains a trusted space for authentic interactions while minimizing the risk of fraudulent behavior.

• Illegal activities occurring on or facilitated through the platform, including fraud, exploitation, or other criminal conduct.
• Harassment, stalking, or criminal intent that poses a risk to user safety, whether online or offline.

To ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, Lighthouse will establish a clear policy outlining when and how the platform will step in, what level of evidence is required, and how users will be notified of law enforcement involvement.Lighthouse is committed to protecting user privacy while maintaining a platform that prioritizes safety and security. In cases where law enforcement requests user data, Lighthouse will ensure that such requests are legally valid and necessary, adhering to applicable data protection laws.

Lighthouse reserves the right to update or modify this Safety & Security Policy at any time to address:

• Evolving security threats, including new risks, technological vulnerabilities, or emerging patterns of abuse.
• Changes in legal or regulatory requirements that impact user safety, data protection, or law enforcement cooperation.
