Lovable App Exposing User Data (Row Level Security)
Quick answer
Missing row level security policies are the most common cause of exposed data in Lovable and Supabase apps. Make sure every table has policies limiting who can read and write each row, and verify them in the Supabase dashboard before launch.
Most likely fix: Review policies on every table
