Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
What we collect
- Account info: name and email when you sign up.
- Mobile number & SMS consent: only if you opt in to text notifications (see the SMS section below).
- RSVP info: which events you sign up for and your responses to any guest questions.
- Reviews: feedback you submit after a dinner.
- Communications: emails and (if opted in) SMS we send you, and your unsubscribe / opt-out preferences.
How we use it
To curate guest lists, send event confirmations and reminders, follow up with reviews, and improve future dinners. We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
Only service providers that help us run Vibe & Connect — our hosting and database provider, our email delivery provider, and (where applicable) SMS provider. Restaurants only receive a headcount and a reservation name, not your contact details.
Transactional emails (RSVP confirmation, event reminders, review requests) are sent as part of the service. You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.
SMS / text messaging
What we collect. If you opt in, we collect your mobile phone number, the date and time you gave consent, and a record of the messages we send you.
How we use it. We use your number only to send transactional text messages related to Vibe & Connect dinners: seat confirmations (including a link to claim your seat), reminders, waitlist updates, and account or event changes. We do not send marketing or promotional texts.
How you opt in. SMS is opt-in. You choose to receive texts by checking an unchecked consent box during sign-up or in your profile settings. You may opt back out at any time by unchecking that box or by replying STOP to any message. Reply HELP for help, or email admin@vibeandconnect.org.
Frequency & costs. Message frequency varies based on the dinners you sign up for. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Sharing. Mobile information and SMS opt-in consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share your mobile number only with the subcontractor that delivers our messages (Twilio) strictly to send you the texts you asked to receive. All other categories of information sharing described in this policy exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; that information is not shared with any third parties.
Retention. We keep your mobile number and consent record for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to demonstrate that consent was given. You can request deletion at any time (see "Your rights" below).
Your rights
You can request access, correction, or deletion of your data by emailing admin@vibeandconnect.org. We'll respond within a reasonable time.
Cookies
We use only the cookies required to keep you signed in and to run the site. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.
