Your relationship stays between you two.

Your data stays on your phone

Tryst is built with privacy at its core. All your date plans, reflections, partner profiles, and preferences are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. We do not operate servers that store your personal data.

iCloud sync

If you have iCloud enabled, your Tryst data may sync across your Apple devices via Apple's CloudKit. This data is encrypted and managed by Apple — Tryst does not have access to your iCloud data. You can disable iCloud sync for Tryst in your device's Settings › iCloud.

What we don't collect

• No account creation required — no email, no password, no phone number
• No advertising SDKs, no Firebase, no Amplitude, no data brokers. One analytics library, TelemetryDeck, sends anonymous counts of app events (an app open, a plan saved) with no identifier, no location and no payload; it is on by default and off with one switch in Settings › Data & Privacy
• This website (not the app) uses Google Analytics for page views and App Store clicks
• The app’s Nearby tab fetches one small file from this website (the week’s hand-read places and events for your area). The request carries no identifier and nothing about you; the file is the same list you can read on the This Weekend page
• Nearby’s Tours & classes asks this website for bookable experiences near you. The request carries only a point rounded to about 10 km, never an identifier; this website asks Viator (a Tripadvisor company) for the list and keeps no record of who asked. If you tap Book or See it on Viator, Viator’s own site opens in your browser under Viator’s privacy policy, and Tryst may earn a commission on a booking
• When you send a plan, the link carries a random code. If your partner taps I’m in or Can’t make it on the date page, this website keeps that answer under the code for 60 days so your app can show it. It never holds a name, the plan or the place
• No advertising or ad networks
• No location data sent to our servers (venue searches use Apple MapKit directly)
• No social media integration that shares your data

What stays on your device

• Your date plans, reflections, and scores
• Partner names, preferences, and survey responses
• Recommendation engine data and learning signals
• Notification preferences and schedules
• All imported or custom date ideas

Calendar & contacts

Tryst may request access to your calendar to add date events. Calendar data is only used to create events you explicitly request — we never read or store your existing calendar entries. Contact access is never requested.

Location

Tryst uses your location only when you search for nearby venues in the planning wizard. Location data is sent directly to Apple's MapKit service for search results — it is never sent to Tryst servers or stored beyond the current session.

Notifications

Tryst sends local notifications (date reminders, reflection prompts, check-ins) scheduled on your device. These do not involve any server communication.

Sharing

When you share a date plan or recap card, the content is generated locally on your device and shared via iOS's standard share sheet. Tryst does not track or store what you share or with whom.

Children's privacy

Tryst requires users to be at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. The app includes an age gate during onboarding that prevents minors from using the app.

Data deletion

You can delete all your data at any time via Settings › Account & Data › Delete Account & Data. This permanently removes all local data. If iCloud sync is enabled, data is also removed from iCloud.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
