Terms of Use

Last updated: 8 November 2026

This is a translation for your convenience. If there are any differences, the German version applies.

1. What this is about

DateMate is a free app by Emma Brandl, Hörlgasse 8/38, 1090 Vienna, Austria (“we”). With it you plan meet-ups and dates with people you have linked with, chat with them, share photos and keep memories. By creating an account you accept these terms.

2. Minimum age and account

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• Provide truthful information and keep your password secret. You are responsible for actions taken through your account.
• You can delete your account at any time in the app under Menu → Privacy & account.

3. Content rules – zero tolerance

You are responsible for everything you write or upload. In particular, the following is not allowed:

• harassment, threats, bullying, hate speech or discrimination,
• sexual content involving minors or content that endangers minors,
• nude or intimate images of others without their consent,
• glorification of violence, incitement to crime, fraud or spam,
• content that infringes the rights of others (e.g. copyright or personality rights),
• attempts to attack or misuse the app, other accounts or our servers.

4. Reporting and blocking

You can block any person in the app (Mates → person → Block). After that, they can no longer link with you again or plan new dates with you. You can report inappropriate content or people directly in the app (Mates → person → Report) or by email to emmabrandl071206@gmail.com. We usually review reports within 24 hours, remove unlawful or rule-breaking content and may suspend or delete accounts in case of violations.

5. The assistant “Novi”

Novi is an artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic). Its answers are generated automatically, may be wrong, incomplete or outdated and are no substitute for professional advice (e.g. medical, legal or financial). Check important details such as opening hours yourself. Do not give Novi personal or sensitive data.

6. Availability

We strive to provide DateMate reliably but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Features may change. We will inform you about material changes to these terms in the app; you confirm them there the next time you open it. If you do not agree, you can delete your account at any time.

7. Liability

Use of the app is free of charge. We are only liable for intent and gross negligence; for personal injury and under mandatory provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act, our liability is unlimited. Other users are responsible for their own content.

8. Data protection

How we handle your data is described in the privacy policy.

9. Applicable law and jurisdiction

Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.
