Privacy policy
Effective November 12, 2026. The Bridge is operated by Montlake Community Club. Contact president@montlake.net with privacy questions or account deletion requests.
Neighbor information
We collect account information, your chosen profile name, general Montlake area, interests, offers, needs, optional biography and photo, waves, connections, messages, and meetup plans. We do not request an exact home address. Meeting spots you enter are shared with your connected neighbor.
Storage and sharing
Account and neighbor information is stored in Lovable Cloud. Profiles and selected photos are accessible to their owner, existing connections, or neighbors with completed Montlake profiles. Neighborhood areas are self-declared; residency is not independently verified. Photos are privately stored and displayed using short-lived access links. Messages and plans are restricted to the members of that connection. Blocking prevents both neighbors from accessing each other's profiles and chat; a previously issued photo link may work for up to five minutes. Safety reports are stored privately for the community organizer and are not shared with the reported neighbor. Immediate review is not guaranteed. Sign-in services process information needed to authenticate you. Google Fonts receives browser requests to load our fonts.
Optional text reminders
Your mobile number and consent history are private and are not shown to neighbors. If texting becomes active, Twilio will process the destination number and reminder content to deliver messages. Mobile information and SMS opt-in consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share only what service providers need to operate the service. Permission is optional and can be withdrawn in your profile. Text delivery is not active yet.
AI greeting drafts
If you request a greeting draft, shared interests and relevant offer-to-need context are processed through Lovable AI Gateway. The draft is editable and is not sent to your neighbor unless you choose to send it.
Site analytics
Lovable's analytics uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not keep IP addresses, and does not identify visitors. It records pages visited, referral sources, country, browser, operating system, device type, time on page, page speed and errors for every visitor. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy explains how it handles it.
Your choices
You can edit your profile and withdraw text permission in your profile. Sign-in uses browser storage to keep your session. Contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of your account information. Consent history may be retained to document permission and withdrawals.
