Clear information. Informed choices.
Privacy &
participation.
This page explains how this informational website works and outlines important questions about participating in Litehouse. It is not the operating app’s privacy policy, consent form or terms of service. Ask the team for the current versions before joining a session.
An alias protects how you appear to other participants. It does not, by itself, make a conversation confidential or prevent its contents from being recorded or used.
This website
This site introduces the Litehouse concept and provides an illustrative app preview. The preview is not connected to a live group. Its example messages are fictional, and interactions with it do not send or store chat messages. An alias entered in the preview exists only within the current page and disappears when it is reloaded.
This website does not add advertising trackers or analytics scripts. Standard hosting systems may process technical request information to deliver the website; this page does not claim that hosting is log-free.
Contacting the team
The enquiry form submits your name, email address, enquiry type and message to FormSubmit, a third-party form-to-email service, for delivery to the Litehouse team. FormSubmit and the recipient’s email provider process your submission to deliver it. FormSubmit may present a CAPTCHA before accepting a submission. See FormSubmit’s privacy information for its data practices. You may also contact the team directly by email.
Your enquiry goes to Hannah Wilensky at hannah@thelitehouse.org, the contact supplied in the Litehouse presentation. Please send general enquiries only. Do not include medical records, identity documents or sensitive personal health information.
Anonymous group participation
The supplied app concept allows participation under an alias. Group members can still see what you choose to share. Names, places, employers and detailed personal stories may reveal identity even when a real name is not displayed. Keep identifying information out of conversations.
Session recording and use of data
The original Litehouse material describes recording sessions and a funding model that includes selling de-identified mental health data to research, healthcare and other organisations. This may include information from conversations and demographic information. De-identification should not be treated as a guarantee that nobody can ever be identified.
Before participating, request clear, current information about:
- What is recorded and collected, including session content and demographic information.
- How de-identification works and who can access original records.
- Who receives data, whether it is sold, and for which purposes.
- How long data is kept, where it is stored and whether it crosses borders.
- How you give or withdraw consent, and whether participation is possible without secondary data use.
- What access, correction or deletion options apply to you.
- How safeguarding concerns and confidentiality limits are handled.
The uploaded material does not establish the current operating policy or confirm these arrangements. Contact the team for the applicable policy, consent process and partner-specific terms.
Support and suitability
Litehouse is presented as guided community support, not emergency care, diagnosis or a replacement for professional treatment. Ask your participating organisation about coach qualifications, supervision, age eligibility, moderation and what happens if someone needs more help.
If you need urgent help or are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis service in your country. The general enquiry email and this website are not crisis support channels.
