Saturdate plans days out for two people and keeps the ones you have been on as a shared map. It is made by Karol Jaworski ("we", "us"), who is responsible for the personal data described here. Questions about this policy or your data: karoljaworsky@gmail.com.
When you first open Saturdate it creates an account with a random identifier, so your Saturdays survive a new phone or a reinstall. If you sign in with Apple, Apple gives us an identifier for you and, only if you choose to share it, your first name. We do not ask Apple for your email address.
The first names you enter, your home area (saved rounded to about 1 km, used as the starting point for drive times), your answers to the This-or-That questions, how often you would like a Saturdate, and your Someday list of places.
The days dealt to you, which one each of you picked, and each day's timeline.
The photos you choose to add to a memory, with the time and place they were taken so they land in the right spot on your map; your "best part" notes; and past Saturdates you add by hand. Photos are re-saved by the app before upload, without the original file's other metadata.
If you allow notifications, your phone's push token, its language and which kinds of notifications you want, so we can tell you when your partner picks a day, adds photos or writes their note.
When you subscribe, Apple handles the payment; we never see your payment details. The app sends Apple's signed record of the purchase to our server, which checks it with Apple's certificates and gives Plus to both of you.
Our hosting providers keep short-lived request logs, including IP addresses, to keep the service secure and to fix problems.
We process this data to provide Saturdate to you (the contract between us), and, for logs and security, in our legitimate interest in running a safe service. Notifications are sent only with your consent, which you can withdraw in Settings at any time. Plans are written with AI only with your consent, which you can withdraw in the Us tab at any time.
Pairing creates a shared space. Your partner sees your names, your plans and picks, the memories, the photos either of you adds, and your "best part" note once they have written theirs. Database rules keep a couple's data visible only to its two members.
We use these providers to run Saturdate. They process data on our behalf and only for these purposes:
Some of these providers (xAI, RevenueCat, Apple) may process data in the United States; where that happens, data is protected by the safeguards in their data processing terms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. We do not sell or rent personal data, show ads, or share data for advertising, and Saturdate does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Your data is kept for as long as your account exists, so your map is there when you come back to it. Push tokens are removed as soon as Apple reports them as no longer valid. Hosting logs are kept for a short period and then deleted.
Deleting the app from your phone does not delete what is stored on our servers; use the options above, or email us.
Saturdate replaces an earlier app called Route. Route kept your trips on your phone and, if you used iCloud, in your private iCloud, which only you control (iOS Settings → your name → iCloud). When you first open Saturdate, it offers to add your past trips to your map. If you agree, each trip's name, date and destination, and the first highlight from its journal, become a memory as described above, with a satellite image of the place from Apple Maps as its stamp. Route's copy on your phone is deleted once your trips are on the map, or when you choose to leave them out (if a trip can't be added, for example without a connection, Saturdate asks again next time). Nothing from Route is uploaded unless you agree.
Saturdate is made for adults planning days out together. It is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Depending on where you live (including the EU, the UK and California), you have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, receive a copy of it, restrict or object to its processing, and withdraw consent. Most of this you can do in the app; for anything else, email karoljaworsky@gmail.com and we will reply within one month. If you are in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
Data travels over encrypted connections. Photos are stored privately and are reachable only through short-lived links issued to members of your couple.
When what Saturdate collects or shares changes, we update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will also be shown in the app.
