This is a draft. It will be reviewed before Dishmate opens to the public.
What we collect
- Your account: your name, your email address or phone number, and the codes we send you to sign in.
- Your profile: your photos, what you eat and would love to try, your area and the times you are usually free.
- Your location, only roughly (about 1 km), to show you people nearby. Others see your area, never your exact spot.
- Your chats, matches, bookings and reviews, so the app can work.
- Payments: the plan, the amount and the payment reference. Bank and card details stay with the payment provider.
- Verification: a selfie, compared with your profile photos to give you the Verified badge.
How we use it
To run Dishmate: to show you people and places, open chats, plan meals, send you codes and reminders, keep members safe and answer your questions. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t show ads.
Who sees what
Other members see your profile, your area and your photos. Phone numbers and email addresses stay hidden from other members until a meal is confirmed, and hosts’ places stay hidden until they share them in a match.
Assistants
If you switch an assistant on, it reads the chats and plans it needs, with the help of an AI model provider, to suggest replies, plan meals and remind you. It remembers past conversations only if your plan includes that and you agree.
Messages
We send sign-in codes and notices by email, WhatsApp or SMS, as you choose in the app.
How long we keep it
While your account is open. When you delete your account, your profile, photos and chats are removed. Payment records are kept as accounting records, as the law requires.
Your choices
You can see and change your profile, switch the assistants and messages off, and delete your account at any time in the app. Write to us to ask for a copy of your data.
