1 Who We Are

DateKnight is a product of Socialogic, a sole trader business registered in Australia (ABN 94345881), based in Brisbane, Queensland. We build technology that helps people live more intentionally and connect with the people who matter to them.

For all privacy-related matters, the data controller is Simon Backhouse, operating as Socialogic.

2 Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated through your use of the app.

Information you provide:

• Your name, email address, and profile photo when you create an account
• Your partner's and friends' details when you add them to your Circle
• Sitter information you enter, including names, contact numbers, and rates
• The number of children in your care (asked once during setup; feeds the kids component of a date's cost estimate)
• Date preferences, venue selections, and event details you create
• Your per-date answers for cost-splitting — for a specific date, whether you'll be drinking, whether you're bringing children, and the share of the bill you set on the slider. These are per-date answers used only to size that date's estimate; they are not stored as ongoing preferences
• Payment information processed via Stripe (we do not store card details directly)
• Feedback and communications you send to us

Information collected automatically:

• Device information (device type, operating system, unique device identifiers)
• App usage data (screens visited, features used, session duration)
• Crash reports and performance data
• IP address and general location (city/region level)
• Push notification tokens for your device, so we can send you date, RSVP, and sitter updates
• Card-matching for couples: when you add a payment card and have a linked partner, we store a Stripe "fingerprint" of the card on our server so we can privately tell whether you and your partner are using the same card — used only to suggest paying together. This runs server-side only, returns a simple yes/no, is never shared with your partner or anyone else, and does not include your card number
• For venue partners: which venue Spotlight promotions are shown to and tapped by couples, so venues can see how their promotions perform
• Venue check-in (with your permission): if you grant location access, the app can detect when you arrive at the venue of a date you've planned — using your device's GPS and a small geofence around that venue — so your date can check in automatically. Check-in records carry the venue and arrival time and sync with your account data. Location is only used around your planned dates: we do not track your movements outside them, and we do not keep a continuous history of where you've been

We do not track your location outside your planned dates, and we do not build a profile of your spending history — the per-date answers above are used to estimate a single night's cost and nothing more.

3 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the DateKnight app and its features
• Coordinate date planning, sitter matching, and group invitations on your behalf
• Size a date's cost estimate and, for a couple, suggest whether to pay together, from your per-date answers
• Process in-app payments via Stripe (for example, venue Spotlight promotions). Pooled venue settlement — paying a venue's share of a booking — is not yet live
• Send SMS bid requests to sitters when you confirm a date
• Send you notifications about your dates, RSVPs, and sitter confirmations
• Respond to your support requests and feedback
• Analyse usage patterns to improve product features and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations

4 Sharing Your Information

We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• With people in your Circle — when you invite someone to a date, relevant event details are shared with them through the app
• With sitters — when a date is confirmed, sitters on your list receive an SMS with the date details required to respond to your bid
• With venue partners — booking details (party name, size, date, time) are shared with venues you book through DateKnight. For a booked date, the venue also sees each confirmed guest's first name, profile photo, dietary needs, and — only when that guest answered yes to that date's drinking question — that they're drinking that night and their preferred drink, so the venue can prepare the night. A guest who said no (or didn't answer) shows nothing about drinking at all
• With Stripe — payment information is processed by Stripe in accordance with their privacy policy (stripe.com/privacy)
• With service providers — we use trusted third-party services for analytics, crash reporting, and app infrastructure, who are bound by confidentiality obligations
• As required by law — if required by Australian law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users

5 Payments & Stripe

DateKnight uses Stripe Connect to process payments, including pool billing. Venue payouts (venue settlement) are coming soon and are not yet processed. When you make or receive a payment through DateKnight:

• Your payment details are collected and processed directly by Stripe
• DateKnight does not store your full card number, CVV, or bank account details
• Stripe's handling of your payment data is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy
• Stripe is compliant with PCI DSS and applicable Australian financial regulations

For questions about payment data, please refer to stripe.com/privacy.

6 Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

• Data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL
• Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only
• We regularly review our security practices

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your DateKnight account.

7 Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you delete your account:

• Your profile and Circle data will be deleted within 30 days
• Transaction records may be retained for up to 7 years as required by Australian tax law
• Anonymised, aggregated usage data may be retained indefinitely

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal obligations)

9 Children's Privacy

DateKnight is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Information about children in your care (such as babysitting arrangements) is entered by you as the account holder and is used solely to facilitate sitter coordination within the app.

10 Third-Party Services

DateKnight may integrate with or link to third-party services. This policy does not cover the privacy practices of those services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with DateKnight, including:

Your continued use of DateKnight after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
