Where the App displays booking or contact information, any interaction or data sharing occurs directly between you and the Service Provider. Bonded is not a party to those interactions unless explicitly stated otherwise.

We may share anonymized, aggregate usage data (such as how many users viewed or liked a date idea) with Service Providers to help them understand demand and improve their offerings. This data is not linked to any individual user and cannot be used to identify you.

  • Hosting and infrastructure
  • Analytics and performance monitoring
  • Error and crash reporting

These providers:

  • Process data only on our instructions
  • Are bound by data protection agreements
