SubLounge · Community chat

Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 10, 2026

Please read this SubLounge-specific Privacy Policy together with the Terms and Conditions before joining a chat. This policy explains what SubLounge processes when you use its Reddit community chat.

Information processed

• Reddit account and comments: SubLounge uses the Reddit identity available to the app to submit a message as your account. Your username, comment text, timestamp, and Reddit comment link may be shown with the chat message.
• Chat support data: To display recent chat history and support replies, mentions, reactions, and unread activity, SubLounge stores a limited copy of recent messages in Devvit Redis. Message records can include the author name, text, timestamp, Reddit comment permalink, flair, media URL, link, reply reference, reactions, pinned state, and an author- or moderator-set NSFW label. The chat history is capped at 100 messages per chat; older entries are displaced as new messages arrive.
• Notifications and preferences: SubLounge may store up to 50 recent mention or reply activity items per recipient, along with read state and the recipient's notification mute preference for that chat. Moderators can set a chat room title, which is stored for the Reddit post.
• Moderator controls and message labels: Chat settings (such as lock, cooldown, message limits, attachment availability, and participation thresholds) are stored in Devvit Redis for the chat. Pin and sensitive-media labels are stored with the chat message. Minimum karma and account-age checks read the Reddit account's public karma totals and creation date when the user sends a message; these values are used for the check and are not copied into the chat record.
• Custom emote submissions: Uploaded emote images are placed on Reddit media hosting. The app stores the emote name, Reddit media URL, uploader username, review status, and category in Devvit Redis. Pending emotes are available to their uploader and moderators; approved emotes are available to the community. When selected in a message, the emote image is included in the sender's Reddit comment. Rejected or removed emotes are removed from the app's catalog, but Reddit may retain the uploaded media asset.
• Local browser storage: The app may use browser local storage for a first-use disclosure acknowledgement and local preference migration. This is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Where information goes

Messages you send are published as Reddit comments from your Reddit account. Attached photos and selected custom emotes are uploaded to Reddit and included in the comment; links are included as text and shown as compact cards in chat. Reddit processes and displays this content under its own policies. SubLounge does not currently use advertising or third-party analytics.

SubLounge uses Devvit/Reddit infrastructure, including Redis, to operate the app. Data is available to Reddit and to the app's authorized services as needed to provide the feature. Community moderators may see chat content and reports and may use Reddit's moderation tools.

Retention and controls

The Redis chat copy is limited to the latest 100 messages per chat and is displaced as newer messages arrive; it does not have a fixed time-based expiry. Notification activity is limited to the latest 50 items per recipient, while read-state, mute preferences, and room moderation settings are kept to provide those features. The app does not currently provide a control to delete these Redis copies directly. You can use Reddit's controls for your comment, or use Reddit's available app or developer support channels to request help with app-stored data.

You can mute reply and mention alert notifications in the chat. This changes the app's alert behavior; it does not remove the message or prevent the in-chat unread indicator from appearing. You can avoid sending information by not submitting a message.

Children's privacy and policy updates

SubLounge is intended for people who may use Reddit under Reddit's applicable age requirements. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. This policy may be updated when the app changes; the effective date above will be revised when that happens.
