Terms
The terms for using Lampsill.
In plain words. By using the Lampsill app you agree to these. What we do with your details is in the app privacy notice.
Last updated 5 November 2026
In short
- Lampsill isn’t an emergency service. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
- It can only tell people what your phone tells it. A phone that is off, flat or out of signal can make a message late, or stop it arriving.
- Only set it up with someone who has said yes.
- It’s free until January 2027. Nothing is ever charged without you agreeing first.
Who we are
Lampsill is run by Subhankar Denria and published on Google Play and the App Store under Nitu Karan’s developer accounts (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at hello@lampsill.com.
What Lampsill does
Lampsill notices when a phone hasn’t been used for the time its owner chose. It asks them “Are you OK?” on that phone first. If they don’t answer, the people they chose are told, about 10 minutes later, in their own Lampsill app.
What it isn’t
- It isn’t an emergency service, and it can’t detect a fall, an illness or a medical problem. It only knows whether a phone is being used.
- It depends on things we don’t control: the phone being on, charged and connected; the permissions you gave it; the phone’s own battery settings; and the services that carry notifications. Any of these can make a message late, or stop it arriving.
- So please don’t make it the only way anyone keeps in touch with you, or you with them.
Using it
- Lampsill is for adults. Please don’t use it if you’re under 18.
- Only with someone who has agreed. A person is linked to you only when they type in your code themselves. Don’t install it or set it up on someone else’s phone without them knowing.
- Don’t use Lampsill to harass anyone, to pretend to be someone else, or to break the law, and don’t try to break into it, copy it or overload it.
- Keep your sign-in to yourself. If you think someone else has used your account, tell us.
If an account is used in these ways, we may close it. Unless the law or safety stops us, we’ll tell you why.
Your account
You can stop using Lampsill whenever you like. Settings → Delete everything deletes your account and what we hold about you, as the app privacy notice explains, or follow these steps.
What it costs
Lampsill is free until January 2027. After that it may stay free, or there may be a small charge. If there is, we’ll tell you in the app well before it starts, and nothing is charged unless you agree to it. People on the early-access list get 2 extra months free if Lampsill ever charges.
Changes
We keep improving Lampsill, so it will change. If we change these terms in a way that matters, or ever have to stop Lampsill, we’ll tell you in the app first, with as much notice as we can. The date at the top changes with every update.
If something goes wrong
We take care building and running Lampsill, but we can’t promise it will work every time, for the reasons above. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for loss caused by a message that was late or didn’t arrive, or by Lampsill not being available.
Nothing here limits our responsibility where the law doesn’t allow it to be limited, for example for death or injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Nothing here takes away your rights under the consumer law of the country you live in.
Apple and Google
Lampsill is ours, not Apple’s or Google’s. Their store terms also apply to how you download it, but they aren’t responsible for the app or for these terms.
Questions and complaints
Please tell us first, at hello@lampsill.com, and we’ll try to put it right. These terms are governed by the law of India. If you live somewhere else, you also keep the protections of the law where you live, and you can bring a claim in your own country’s courts.
