Privacy policy
Last updated 15 October 2026
The short version
We collect what we need to run the game and nothing for advertising. Nobody needs an account, neither you nor the person who plays. We don't sell data, and you can ask us to delete yours at any time: hello@dateornodate.com.
Who we are
DateOrNoDate (dateornodate.com) is an independent product run from Spain. Contact: hello@dateornodate.com.
What we collect
If you create a game:
- Your name, your partner's first name and your email address.
- The game itself: the date ideas, the Dealer's offers and, if you set one, a PIN (stored only as a secure hash).
- Payment status. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe; we never see or store them.
If you ask us to remind you (the unticked box in the first step): your email, both first names, the occasion if you pick one, your browser's time zone and the unfinished game, so you can finish it on any device. We then send at most four short emails about that game, and stop as soon as you pay, unsubscribe, or the copy is deleted.
If you play a game: the progress of each play (which envelopes were opened and the result), so the creator can see it. If the game has a PIN, we keep your IP address for up to 15 minutes after a wrong attempt, only to limit guessing.
Technical data: standard server logs (IP address, browser, time) for security and debugging.
Why we use it
- To run the game and show the creator its results (performing our contract with you).
- To send the emails you expect: your game links (again, if you ask for them on "Find my games"), and results when a play finishes (you can switch these off).
- To remind you about an unfinished game, only if you ticked the box asking for it (your consent, which you can withdraw from any of those emails).
- To process the payment and keep the records the law requires.
- To keep the service secure (legitimate interest).
Who processes it for us
- Stripe: payments.
- Resend: sending emails.
- Our hosting provider, where the database and servers run.
Some of them may process data outside the EU under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Cookies and local storage
We use one cookie to keep you signed in. Your browser also stores your unfinished game and your sound setting locally, so you don't lose progress. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
How long we keep it
- Unpaid drafts: deleted after 7 days.
- Unfinished games saved for reminders: deleted 14 days after you last edited them, or immediately if you untick the box or unsubscribe. After unsubscribing we keep only your email address on a do-not-email list, so we never write again.
- Paid games and plays: until you ask us to delete them.
- "Find my games" requests (address and a hashed IP, to limit abuse): deleted after 30 days.
- Payment records: as long as tax law requires.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, or take it with you. Write to hello@dateornodate.com. If you're unhappy with our answer you can complain to the Spanish data protection authority (AEPD) or the one where you live.
Children
DateOrNoDate is for adults. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll update the date above and tell everyone with a paid game by email.
