Terms
Last updated
By using Porchlight you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.
What Porchlight does
Porchlight shows the packages you're expecting and what their carriers report about them. It is for tracking your own deliveries: packages you're sending, receiving, or otherwise have a reason to follow.
Your account
You sign in with your email address or your Apple account. Keep access to them secure, because anyone who can sign in as you can see your packages. You can delete your account at any time from Settings.
Carrier information
Statuses, delivery dates and scan history come from the carriers and from a tracking service. Porchlight passes them on as it receives them and never makes up a date, but carrier data can be late, incomplete or wrong. Don't rely on it for anything where a missed or late delivery would cause real harm.
Amazon and Flint
The Mac and iPhone apps can read your own Amazon orders after you sign in to Amazon on that device. This works on a best-effort basis: Amazon can change its pages or ask you to sign in again at any time, and imports stop until you do. Your use of your Amazon account is also covered by Amazon's own terms. The same goes for Flint and your email provider.
Fair use
Don't use Porchlight to follow other people's packages without their permission, to overload the service or the carriers behind it, or to get into anyone else's account.
Your data
Your packages belong to you. Porchlight uses them only to run the service, as described in the privacy policy.
No warranty
Porchlight is provided as it is, without any promise that it will always be available or free of mistakes. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for missed, late or lost deliveries, or for losses that come from relying on what Porchlight shows.
Ending
You can stop using Porchlight and delete your account whenever you like. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms.
Changes
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with it. Using Porchlight after a change means you accept the new terms.
