Privacy Policy

• —Account basics: name, email, password (stored only as a secure hash), and your city.
• —Instagram handle: collected when you apply, used to review your application. For approved hosts it appears on their public host page; for guests it is visible only to the Tableside team.
• —Bookings: which gatherings you book and attend, and dietary notes you choose to share with hosts.
• —Photos: a profile photo if you add one, and dinner photos hosts choose to publish on their public pages.
• —Invitations: if you join through a member’s invite link, we record who invited you; if you share invites, we record who joined through yours.
• —Dinner feedback: answers you share the morning after a dinner are private — visible only to the Tableside team, never to hosts or other members.
• —Device notifications: if you allow push notifications, we store a delivery token for your device. You can revoke this in your device settings anytime.
• —Host addresses: hosts provide the street address of their table when setting a dinner. It is stored securely and revealed only to guests with a confirmed seat — never shown while browsing, never public.
• —Approximate location:if you allow it, the app uses your device’s coarse, city-level location only to suggest which city’s tables to show you. It is never precise, never stored on your profile, and you can decline or revoke it in your device settings anytime.
• —Payments: handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
• —Identity verification: performed by Stripe Identity. Your ID photos and selfie go to Stripe, not to Tableside — we receive only a verified/not-verified result.

• —Your first name and city appear to hosts when you book.
• —A host’s exact address is shown only to guests with a confirmed booking — never while browsing.
• —Your email and phone are never shown to other members.

Transactional email — booking confirmations, reminders, account notices — is part of the service. The weekly letter (upcoming tables in your city) is optional: every edition carries a one-tap unsubscribe, and the unsubscribe page offers a link to rejoin if you change your mind.

We don’t sell your data, we don’t run third-party ad trackers, and we don’t share member information except with the services that run Tableside (our database provider Supabase, our payment processor Stripe, and our email delivery service) or when the law requires it.

Email hello@tablesideapp.com anytime to get a copy of your data or to delete your account and its data. Deletion removes your profile and personal details; anonymized booking records may be retained for accounting.

hello@tablesideapp.com — we read everything.
