terms of service
Last Updated: May 14, 2025
Lighthouse is a personal health platform designed to help you collect, manage, and share your health information in one secure place. You can use Lighthouse to gather records, track health data, add notes, and share information with people you trust — including family members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Anyone 18 or older can use Lighthouse. You're welcome to use the platform anonymously, and registered users can unlock additional features and value. Lighthouse is meant to support your health journey — not replace professional medical care.
Our goal is simple: give you control of your health information in a secure, respectful, and easy-to-use way.
I. Introduction and Eligibility
These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to LIGHTHOUSE health platforms and any other related features, contents, applications, or websites we may offer from time to time (collectively, the "LIGHTHOUSE Services"). Please read these Terms carefully before using LIGHTHOUSE Services.
These Terms include LIGHTHOUSE's Privacy Statement, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. This agreement is a legally binding contract. It may change as our business changes, and you agree you will review it and any updates regularly. Your continued use of the LIGHTHOUSE Services means you accept any changes.
Binding Agreement
These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and LIGHTHOUSE, Inc. ("LIGHTHOUSE," "we," "us"). "You" and "users" shall mean all visitors and users of the LIGHTHOUSE Services. You accept these Terms each time you access the LIGHTHOUSE Services. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the LIGHTHOUSE Services.
Eligibility
The LIGHTHOUSE Services are intended solely for persons who are 13 years of age or older who are residents of the United States. Any access to or use of the LIGHTHOUSE Services by anyone under age 13 or anyone who is not a resident of the United States is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the LIGHTHOUSE Services, you represent and warrant that you are 13 years old or older and resident of the United States. Further, if you are under 18 years of age, you represent and agree that you possess the legal consent of your parent or guardian to access and use the LIGHTHOUSE Service.
Revision to Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms, because you are bound by them if you use the LIGHTHOUSE Services.
II. The LIGHTHOUSE Services
The "LIGHTHOUSE Services" means any websites, applications, and other services under the control of LIGHTHOUSE, whether partial or otherwise, in connection with providing an online or digital platform to enable patients to manage their own health records and collaborate with their care team.
Medical Advice
LIGHTHOUSE does not give medical advice. The LIGHTHOUSE Services may help you organize your health records and provide helpful content, but any information and materials available through the LIGHTHOUSE Services are for informational and educational purposes only and are not intended to constitute professional advice, diagnosis or treatment. The LIGHTHOUSE Services are not a substitute for professional medical treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider regarding a medical condition.
Permission to Use the LIGHTHOUSE Services
We grant you permission to use the LIGHTHOUSE Services subject to the restrictions in these Terms. Your use of the LIGHTHOUSE Services is at your own risk, including the risk that content that you or others contribute to your health record is inaccurate or unreliable or that your records may be misused or misappropriated by someone with whom you provide access.

Sharing Records with Third Parties
If you wish to provide access to your health records or invite a third party to collaborate in your health care management, you may invite them through the LIGHTHOUSE Services in your account, but any third party must create their own LIGHTHOUSE account. If you are using the LIGHTHOUSE Services as part of a chronic care management service through a healthcare provider, you acknowledge that such healthcare provider may share chronic care management related Records with your other healthcare providers as authorized by the HIPAA-compliant authorization you must sign with that healthcare provider.
