How We Use Your Data

Data collected by Hungry Couples serves one clear purpose: maximizing the delight, chemistry, and safety of your dining connections. Specifically:

1. AI Palate Matchmaking
Our proprietary TasteProfile™ neural network evaluates your mutual dietary tolerances, budget preferences, and 12-Question indices to suggest high-compatibility companions and restaurant itineraries.
2. Venue Booking Reservations & BancWall Split
We transmit only required reservation names, arrival times, and party sizes to verified host restaurants. BancWall utilizes tokenized data to process check splitting without exposing banking credentials to companions.
3. Safety, Fraud Detection & SOS Alerts
Rapid anomaly detection prevents catfishing, harassment, or financial scams. Real-time emergency check-in utilizes your permissioned location exclusively during scheduled date sessions.
