Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

a. Information You Provide

We collect information you provide directly, including:

• Name and email address (for account creation and login)
• Profile photo, if you choose to add one
• Family or household information you choose to add (e.g., family member names)
• Votes, favorites, family invitations, and other activity you create in the Services
• Communications with customer support

b. Account, Device, and Service Information

We collect limited information needed to operate and protect the Services, including:

• Authentication provider identifiers when you sign in with Apple or Google
• A push notification token and device model when you enable notifications
• Your device time zone so voting schedules and reminders use the correct local time
• Account timestamps such as creation date and most recent sign-in

c. Automatically Collected Information

Our servers record limited technical and operational information, such as:

• Requests, errors, security events, and performance information
• Aggregate feature events such as successful sign-ins, votes, and notification delivery

We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and operate the Dinner Debate Services
• Enable family groups, recipe browsing, voting, results, and reminders
• Authenticate accounts and keep them secure
• Improve product functionality and usability
• Respond to customer support requests
• Communicate important account or service updates

We do not sell personal information.

3. Sharing of Information

We may share information only in limited circumstances:

• With service providers that support our operations, such as cloud hosting, file storage, email delivery, push notifications, and sign-in providers
• When required by law or legal process
• To protect the rights, safety, or security of Dinner Debate, our users, or others

All service providers are required to safeguard your information and use it only for authorized purposes.

4. Analytics and Tracking

Dinner Debate uses aggregate operational metrics to understand whether important features are working.

• We do not include names, email addresses, or user content in aggregate feature metrics
• We do not use third-party advertising SDKs
• We do not track users across other apps or websites for advertising purposes

5. Children's Privacy

Dinner Debate is intended for family use, but accounts are managed by adults.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will take appropriate action, including deletion.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

You may delete your account in the app under Profile, or contact us for help. Deletion removes your profile, authentication data, memberships, votes, favorites, and notification tokens. Content shared with a family may remain in anonymized form so other family members can continue using it. We may also retain limited information when required for legal, security, or fraud-prevention purposes.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information
• Request correction or deletion
• Opt out of certain communications

California residents may have additional rights under applicable law.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on our website or within the app with a revised effective date.
