TableSix Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026.

TableSix is published by Align AI Studio ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect when you use the TableSix iPhone app and the TableSix website, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Questions: hello@builtbyalignai.com.

Summary

• There's no email or phone sign-up. Each iPhone gets an anonymous device ID. Sign in with Apple is optional.
• We collect only what's needed to run in-person tables for six: your display name, the tables you host or join, and hosting-fee payment status. If you choose, we also keep a zip code or a rough area (about 7 miles), a profile photo, and your Sign in with Apple link.
• Street addresses are shown only to people on that table.
• We never collect your precise location.
• We don't sell your data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.
• To delete your data, use Delete my data in Settings, or email hello@builtbyalignai.com.

What we collect

Information you give us

• Display name. Shown to the host and guests of tables you join or host.
• Tables you host. The title, theme, date and time, venue name, street address, seat price (or free), and capacity.
• Zip code or approximate area (optional). To show public tables near you in Discover, you can enter a 5-digit US zip code, or tap "Use my approximate location". With location, the app asks iOS only for approximate location, rounds it on your iPhone to about 7 miles (0.1 degree), and sends only that rounded point. We store the zip code (if you gave one) and a rounded area center. We never receive or store your precise location.
• Profile photo (optional). A photo you pick in the app. Your iPhone crops it to a small square and re-encodes it (removing camera and location details) before upload. We store only that small image.
• Sign in with Apple (optional). If you sign in with Apple, we receive a private identifier from Apple for your Apple ID and, the first time only, the first name you choose to share. We store the identifier (to recognize you if you move to a new iPhone) and the first name. We don't ask Apple for your email address. We also keep an encrypted token from Apple, used only to revoke your Sign in with Apple link when you delete your data.
• Public tables. If you host a public table, we store the area name (for example a neighborhood or venue name), the city or zip code you enter, and a rounded point for that city or zip code, plus how guests join (you approve requests, or anyone can join).
• Join requests. If you ask to join a public table, we store your request, its status (waiting, approved or declined) and when you sent it.
• Suggestions setting. Whether you've turned off suggestions from past tablemates.
• Reports and blocks. What you report (the table or person, the reason and any details you add) and who you block.
• Messages to us. If you email us, we keep your email address and the message so we can reply.

Information created when you use the app

• Device ID and token. A random identifier and access token created when you first open the app, stored in your iPhone's Keychain. They let our servers know which tables are yours. They are linked to your Apple ID only if you choose Sign in with Apple, and never to your phone number or advertising identifier.
• Membership. Which tables you host or have joined, and when you joined.
• Hosting-fee payments. If you host, we store the order number, amount, currency, status and timestamps for your hosting fee. PayPal processes the payment. We never receive your card number or PayPal password.
• Basic server logs. IP address, request time and error details, kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting.
• Hashed IP address on your device record. When the app first registers your iPhone with our server, we store a one-way hash (SHA-256) of the IP address it connected from, not the IP address itself. We use it only to limit how many new devices can register from one network (20 per hour) and so stop abuse. It stays on your device record until you use Delete my data, which clears it.

We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photo library (only the one photo you pick, if any), health data or advertising identifier, and we don't use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. We don't track your location in the background.

How we use it

• To run the service: create tables, let guests join by code or request to join public tables, show who's going, and reveal the address only to members.
• To show public tables near you in Discover, with approximate distances, and to suggest public tables that people you've shared a past table with are going to (unless either of you turns suggestions off).
• To recognize you on a new iPhone if you use Sign in with Apple.
• To take hosting-fee payments, confirm them, send receipts, and handle refunds.
• To keep people safe: review reports (within 24 hours), enforce our Terms of Use, and apply blocks.
• To secure and fix the service, and to comply with the law.

Who can see what

• Other people on a table see your display name, role (host or guest) and profile photo if you added one. Members also see the venue's street address.
• Anyone with a table's code can see its title, theme, date, venue name, seat price and how many seats are taken. They can't see the street address.
• Public tables in Discover. Anyone using TableSix can see a public table's title, theme, date, venue name, area, city or zip code, seat price, seats left, approximate distance from their own area, and the host's first name and profile photo. They can't see the street address or the join code until they have a seat.
• Join requests. The host of a public table sees the display name and profile photo of people who ask to join.
• Suggestions. If you and someone else were on the same past table, Discover may show them a public table you're going to, with your first name, and show you theirs. Turn this off in Settings > Discover > "Suggest tables from past tablemates"; it stops both directions. People you've blocked, or who blocked you, are never suggested.
• We never show your zip code, your area or your distance to other people.
• Service providers that host our servers and process payments (such as PayPal) handle data only on our behalf, or under their own privacy terms for payments.
• Legal and safety. We may share information if required by law, or to protect someone's safety or the integrity of TableSix.

We don't sell or rent personal information.

Payments between guests and hosts

If a host sets a seat price, guests pay the host directly, outside TableSix. We don't process, see or store those payments.

How long we keep it

• Tables, membership and join requests: up to 12 months after the table's date, then deleted or anonymized.
• Zip code, approximate area, profile photo and Sign in with Apple link: until you remove them in Settings or delete your data.
• Hosting-fee payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires (usually up to 7 years).
• Reports and blocks: as long as needed to keep the community safe, then deleted.
• Server logs: up to 30 days.
• Hashed IP address on your device record: until you delete your data.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your data. In the app, tap Delete my data in Settings. This deletes your tables, membership, join requests, blocks, display name, first name, zip code and approximate area, profile photo, Sign in with Apple link, suggestions setting, hashed IP address and device record from our servers and anonymizes reports you made (the report stays so we can act on it, but it's no longer linked to you), except payment records we must keep by law. You can also email hello@builtbyalignai.com from any address and include your display name and a table code if you have one. We'll do the same within 30 days. Hosted tables that are cancelled this way follow the hosting-fee refund rules in our Terms of Use.
• Erase this iPhone. In Settings > Your data > Erase data on this iPhone, you can clear the app's saved data and token from the device.
• Location, photo and suggestions. In Settings you can change or remove your zip code or approximate area, change or remove your profile photo, and turn off suggestions from past tablemates. You can also turn off location access for TableSix in the iOS Settings app at any time.
• Sign in with Apple. You can stop using Sign in with Apple with TableSix in your iPhone's Settings (your name > Sign-In & Security > Sign in with Apple). Delete my data also asks Apple to revoke TableSix's Sign in with Apple access and removes the link from our servers. If Apple can't be reached when you delete your data, we keep that encrypted Apple token, no longer linked to your account or device, for up to 30 days only to retry the revocation, and then delete it.
• Access or correct. Email us to request a copy of your data or a correction. You can change your display name in Settings.
• Depending on where you live (for example, California or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights. Email us and we'll help.

Children

TableSix is for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor is using TableSix, email us and we'll remove their data.

Security

We use HTTPS for all connections, store the device token in the iOS Keychain, and limit who can access production data. No system is perfectly secure, so please report any concern to hello@builtbyalignai.com.

Changes

We'll post updates on this page and change the date above. If a change is significant, we'll let you know in the app.
