Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 12, 2026
Date Night Buddy is an SMS-based service that helps busy parents plan date nights. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
What We Collect
When you use Date Night Buddy, we collect:
- Phone number — provided when you text us
- Name — used for restaurant reservations
- Scheduling preferences — dates and times that work for you
- Restaurant and cuisine preferences — what you like to eat, dietary restrictions, budget
- Location — your general area, used to find nearby restaurants
- Childcare information — whether you have babysitter availability
- Message content — your text messages to and from the service
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Plan date nights on your behalf (finding restaurants, suggesting options)
- Communicate with you via SMS
- Search for publicly available restaurant information (on sites like Yelp and OpenTable) based on your preferences
- Make reservations using the name and details you provide
- Improve the service
We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
How Our Service Works
Date Night Buddy is powered by artificial intelligence. When you send us a text message, your message is processed by a third-party AI service to understand your request and respond. Your messages are sent to the AI provider’s servers for processing but are not used to train AI models.
We search publicly available restaurant information on your behalf. We do not send your personal data to restaurant listing sites — we search public information and bring results back to you.
Where Your Data Is Stored
Your information is processed and stored by the following third-party services:
- Twilio — handles SMS delivery and stores message logs and your phone number
- Anthropic — processes your messages using AI; does not use your data for training; may temporarily retain messages for safety monitoring
- Linear — our internal project management system, used to track your conversation and planning details
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) — hosts our website
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your information for as long as you use the service. If you’d like us to delete your data, contact us at privacy@eeeeffkay.com and we will remove your information from our systems.
To stop receiving messages at any time, reply STOP to any message from Date Night Buddy.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect about you
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell your data)
