Lantern is in active development. Some features may change. Privacy Policy

This page is interim. We're still working on finalizing our formal Terms of Service. The statements below describe our current expectations, not a binding legal agreement. We will notify registered users by email when final terms are published.

Terms of Service (Interim)

Last updated: April 20, 2026 · Status: Draft

While we finalize formal terms

By using Lantern, you agree to operate in good faith under these expectations:

  • Only register work you made yourself. Registering someone else's work as your own is the one thing that undermines the Service for everyone. We take it seriously and will remove records that misrepresent authorship.
  • Do not register illegal content. We will remove registrations that infringe copyright, depict minors in sexual contexts, or otherwise violate United States law.
  • Account safety is yours. Keep your email current and your password secure. You are responsible for what is registered under your account.
  • You keep ownership of your work. Registration stores a hash and metadata on-chain. You continue to own your art; Lantern never claims copyright.

What we do

  • Operate the Service in good faith.
  • Protect your account data as described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Use the subprocessors listed on our Subprocessors page, and update that page when we add or remove any.
  • Remove registrations that violate the expectations above when notified (via the in-product dispute flow or a formal DMCA takedown notice).
  • Notify you by email of material changes to these terms or to our Privacy Policy.

Use at your own risk

Lantern is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do our best to operate the Service reliably, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, absence of bugs, or that the Service will meet any specific need you have. A Lantern record is evidence of authorship at a point in time; it is not a guarantee of legal enforceability in any particular jurisdiction.

Copyright and DMCA

Lantern complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe a registration on Lantern infringes a copyright you own or represent, please follow the procedure on our DMCA page. Users who repeatedly register work they do not have authorship rights to will have their accounts terminated.

Blockchain records are permanent

Lantern records are anchored to the Base blockchain, a public ledger. Once a record is written on-chain, that record is permanent and cannot be deleted. You can revoke a registration (mark it as no longer valid), but the historical record remains. Do not register anything you would need to have permanently removed.
