Last updated: 14 April 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using DateRhythm ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.

2. Description of Service

DateRhythm is a relationship management application that helps people stay connected through shared calendars, AI-powered date planning, relationship insights, an AI coach, educational lessons, weekly challenges, and post-date reflections.

The App is available in both free and premium subscription tiers.

3. Account Registration

To use DateRhythm, you must create an account using a valid email address, or sign in through Google or Apple. You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and current account information
• Maintaining the security of your account credentials
• All activity that occurs under your account

You must be at least 18 years old to use DateRhythm.

4. Partner Connections

DateRhythm allows you to connect with a partner using a unique invite code to share calendar data, availability, and relationship activities. By connecting with a partner, you consent to sharing the following in-app data with them:

• Calendar availability and date events
• Daily question responses (your partner is notified when you answer)
• Shared to-do list items
• Lesson and challenge progress
• Aggregate intimacy and wellness trends, if you have opted in to intimacy tracking (only summary averages are shared, never individual entries or encrypted notes)

The following data is not shared with your partner:

• Your private conversations with the AI Coach
• Your encrypted intimacy notes
• Your onboarding survey responses

You may disconnect from a partner at any time through the app settings.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

DateRhythm offers a free tier with limited features and a premium subscription with full access.

Subscription options

• Monthly: Billed on a recurring monthly basis.
• Annual: Billed on a recurring annual basis. Includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
• Lifetime: A one-time purchase that grants permanent premium access with no recurring charges.

Billing and renewal

• Subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
• Monthly and annual subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
• If you start a free trial and do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan.
• You can manage, pause, or cancel your subscription through your device's app store settings.
• Refunds are subject to the policies of the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Shared premium

When you subscribe to a premium plan, your connected partner automatically receives premium access at no additional cost. If you cancel or your subscription expires, your partner retains premium access for a 7-day grace period before reverting to the free tier.

Complimentary premium trial

New users may receive a short complimentary premium experience (up to 3 days) to explore premium features. This does not require payment information and ends automatically.

6. AI Features

DateRhythm includes AI-powered features such as the AI Coach, personalised lesson generation, date idea suggestions, and reflection prompts. Please note:

• AI features are powered by third-party AI services (currently OpenAI). When you use the AI Coach, contextual information including your conversation history, onboarding survey responses, relationship metrics, partner name, and subscription status is sent to our AI provider for processing.
• The AI Coach provides general relationship guidance and is not a substitute for professional therapy, counselling, or medical advice.
• AI-generated content (date ideas, insights, lesson content, reflection prompts) are suggestions only and should be evaluated using your own judgement.
• AI responses may occasionally be inaccurate or inappropriate. We continuously work to improve quality.
• If you or someone you know is experiencing serious relationship difficulties, abuse, or mental health concerns, please seek professional help.

7. Sensitive Data and Intimacy Tracking

DateRhythm offers an optional, opt-in intimacy and wellness tracking feature. By enabling this feature, you acknowledge that:

• The App will collect data about your intimate wellness, including desire levels, mood, and satisfaction ratings.
• Any notes you add are encrypted on your device using AES-256 encryption before being stored. These encrypted notes cannot be read by DateRhythm or any third party.
• Only aggregate trend summaries (averages over time) may be shared with your connected partner. Individual entries and encrypted notes are never shared.
• You can disable intimacy tracking at any time through the app settings.

8. Communications and Notifications

By using DateRhythm, you agree to receive:

• Service notifications: Push notifications for date reminders, daily questions, lesson reminders, to-do reminders, milestone celebrations, and coach engagement prompts.
• Email communications: Monthly relationship reports, weekly engagement recaps, and account-related messages.
• Re-engagement communications: If you become inactive, we may send emails encouraging you to return to the App.

You can manage your notification preferences and opt out of promotional emails at any time through the app settings or via unsubscribe links in emails.
