Lanternwake privacy policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026. Publisher: SaneBits. Contact: support@sanebits.com

Lanternwake is a puzzle game for Meta Quest. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no in-app purchases. We, SaneBits, do not collect, receive or store any information about you.

On your headset

Your progress (which islands you have woken, your best results and any island in progress), your settings and your Lantern Festival profile (the name you typed and your lamplighter's look) are saved in the game's own storage on your headset. They never leave it, except as described under Lantern Festival below. Uninstalling the game deletes them.

Hand and head tracking

The game reads your hand and head positions from the headset to let you touch, point and pinch, and to place you in the scene. In single-player play this information is used on the headset only, while you play, and is not stored or sent anywhere.

Lantern Festival (local multiplayer)

The Lantern Festival lets people on the same Wi-Fi network play together. When you host or join a festival:

• Headsets on your local network see that a festival exists, with the host's festival name and the number of players.
• The headsets in that festival exchange, directly with each other over your local network:
  • each player's chosen name and lamplighter look;
  • their table height and distance;
  • their puzzle progress and scores;
  • their head and hand positions, so that each lamplighter moves like the person playing it.
• None of this goes to the internet, to SaneBits or to any third party. It is not stored by anyone: the other headsets use it only while the festival runs and discard it when it ends. A random number, kept on your headset, lets you rejoin a festival you dropped out of.

The game uses network permissions only for this local play. It does not connect to the internet.

Children

Lanternwake does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. In a Lantern Festival, other players see the name you type, so choose a name you are happy for people nearby to see.

Changes and contact
