1. Who We Are
Dayste is a date planning platform operated by Dayste ("we," "us," or "our"). We help you plan curated outings using real venues, events, and activities based on your preferences and location.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide. When you use the planner, we collect inputs you enter such as your city, vibe preferences, budget, and date. If you sign up for partner or waitlist communications, we collect your name and email address.
- Location data. If you choose to use the "Use my location" feature, we request your device's location to prefill your city. We do not store this data beyond your current session.
- Usage data. We may collect standard analytics information such as pages visited, device type, and general geographic region. This data is aggregated and not linked to your identity.
- Communications. If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiry.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Generate personalized date plans based on your inputs

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to serve you advertisements.
