Privacy Policy
First Date Playbook respects your privacy. Here's what we collect and why.
What we collect
When you generate a playbook, we collect the details you enter: your city or neighborhood, monthly dating budget, preferred timing, a short self-description, and any clues you choose to share about the person you're taking out. We also save the playbook we generate for you.
If you choose to join the email list, we collect your email address and the city you used (if any). No account or password is needed.
Analytics, ads and cookies
We use Google Analytics to count page visits, and Google Ads, the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel and the Reddit Pixel to measure whether our ads lead to email signups and generated playbooks. When that happens, we tell these services the event happened, along with which ad campaign brought you (if any) — never your email, playbook answers or other personal details. They may use cookies and device information for this measurement and, under their own terms, to improve ad delivery.
In the EU/EEA, the UK, Switzerland and Canada we ask first, and ad measurement stays off unless you accept. Elsewhere it is on by default. You can accept, reject or change your choice anytime with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page; we keep a record of your choice and when you made it in your browser. Learn how Google uses data at business.safety.google/privacy.
Post-date debriefs
If you use the optional "How did it go?" debrief, we store your written answers, the city, type of spot, what you say you spent, whether you'd like to see the person again, and the feedback we generate, with a timestamp. We don't ask for, and you shouldn't include, names, contact details, or sensitive details about the other person. This data is stored privately and can only be accessed by our server — it is not readable from the website. We use it in aggregate to improve First Date Playbook.
Your answers are sent to OpenAI to generate your feedback. If you check "Use my debrief to improve my future playbooks on this device," we keep a random code in your browser and store only a scrambled (hashed) version of it with your debrief. When you create a new playbook on that device, the short "for next time" takeaways from your opted-in debriefs are included in the request to OpenAI — never your full written answers. Clearing your browser data ends the link. We have no automatic deletion schedule yet; to delete your debriefs, contact us with the approximate date and city and we'll remove them manually.
How we use it
We use your inputs to build your personalized playbook. If you opted into emails, we use your address to send occasional date strategies, new playbook ideas, and product updates. You can unsubscribe anytime.
What we don't do
We do not sell or rent your email address or personal information to anyone. We do not require an account to use the playbook generator. We do not share your details with advertisers or data brokers.
Third parties
Playbook generation is powered by OpenAI's API. The text you enter is sent to OpenAI to create your result. We do not send OpenAI your email address unless you explicitly include it in a form field.
"Show a sample near me" (optional). Only if you tap that button and allow it, your browser shares your approximate coordinates once. We pass them to Google Places (Google Maps Platform) to find one nearby café, then discard them. We do not save your coordinates in our database, browser storage, links, or analytics, and do not send them to OpenAI. We do not track your location in the background. If you type a city instead, that city is sent to Google Places the same way. Google's handling is described in its privacy policy.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email we send. To request removal of your email or playbook data, contact us and we'll handle it promptly.
