Privacy Policy

Effective September 11, 2026 · Last updated September 11, 2026

Dinner Appointments — also called Flagler Ward Meals on the web — ("we," "our," "the app") is a volunteer meal-coordination service that helps ward members schedule dinners with the full-time missionaries serving their ward. It is available as a website, as an iPhone/iPad app and as an Android app. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Who we are

The app is published and operated by ReadyBrands LLC (Miami, Florida), together with the Ward Mission Leader of each participating ward, who manages that ward's members and missionaries. Contact us by text or call at (877) 586-6325.

The app is not an official product of, and is not endorsed by, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

What we collect

• Account info: your name, phone number (used to sign in with a one-time code) and, optionally, your email address.
• Profile details: a photo of yourself (so missionaries recognize you), your home address if you host at home, household members, pets, dietary needs and allergies you choose to list, parking and access notes, hosting preferences, and whether you are open to helping missionaries teach.
• Meals: the date, time, missionary companionship and any notes for each meal you or your household book.
• Texts and calls with the ward line: if you text or call (877) 586-6325, the content of those texts and of those calls, so the assistant can answer and book or change meals for you.
• App notification token (apps only): a device token issued by Apple or Google so we can send meal reminders to your phone. You can turn app notifications off in your profile or in your phone's settings.
• Sign-in records: minimal authentication data managed by Google Firebase Authentication.

Missionary phone numbers and basic profile information (name, photo, fun facts) are provided by each missionary, with their consent, to the Ward Mission Leader.

Location (apps only, optional)

If you turn on Sunday reminder at church, the app asks your phone to notice when you arrive at your ward's meetinghouse. When you arrive during Sunday church hours, and your household has no dinner booked and none in the last three weeks, the app shows one reminder that the missionaries would love a dinner. To work while the app is closed, this feature needs Location access set to "Always."

• The check happens entirely on your phone. Your location is never sent to us, never stored, and never shared.
• The only thing the app remembers is the date it last showed the reminder.
• You can turn it off at any time in your profile, or by changing Location access for the app in your phone's settings.

Photos

When you add a profile photo, the app may detect faces in the picture on your device to crop it neatly. No face data is created, stored or sent anywhere; only the cropped photo you choose to save is uploaded.

How we use your information

• Showing missionaries your name, photo, address and contact details so they can find you for a meal.
• Showing other members of your ward enough to avoid double-booking (for example, that a night is taken).
• Sending you notifications about your meals — confirmations, reminders, changes and the occasional nudge when the missionaries need dinners — by text, email, app notification and, rarely, an automated voice call for urgent last-minute changes.
• Sending each missionary companionship its schedule and updates when meals are booked, cancelled or moved.
• Letting your Ward Mission Leader see participation so the missionaries are fed.
• Answering texts and calls to the ward line with an AI assistant that can look up and manage your meals.
• Keeping the service secure and working (for example, detecting abuse and fixing errors).

What we never do

• We do not sell your information. Ever.
• We do not show ads, and we do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
• We do not use your information for any purpose unrelated to coordinating ward meals.

Service providers

We use these providers only to run the service:

• Google Firebase / Google Cloud — hosting, database, sign-in and storage.
• Twilio — text messages and phone calls.
• Anthropic and Google (Gemini) — the AI assistant that reads and replies to texts and calls to the ward line. Message and call content is sent to them only to generate a reply.
• Expo, Apple and Google — delivering app notifications.
• An email delivery provider — sending emails.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information while you take part in your ward's meal program.

• Deleting your account: tap Delete my account in your profile, or text DELETE to (877) 586-6325. Nothing is removed for 14 days, so you can restore the account. After that, your account, sign-in and personal details are permanently deleted.
• Anonymous statistics: totals with no names, phone numbers or addresses (for example, how many dinners a ward hosted in a month) may be kept for planning.

Your choices

• See and correct your information: tap your photo in the top right of the app.
• Notifications: choose text, email, voice and app notifications separately in your profile. Reply STOP to any text to stop texts, and START to rejoin.
• Location: the Sunday reminder is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time.
• Deletion: as described above.
• Questions or requests (including a copy of your data): text or call (877) 586-6325.

Children

Accounts are for adults (18+) who coordinate meals for their household. A parent or guardian may list children as household members; children do not have their own accounts. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), Firebase Authentication, access rules that limit what each member can see, and Google Cloud's infrastructure protections. Sensitive credentials are kept in Google Secret Manager and never exposed to the app. No system is perfectly secure, but we follow accepted practices and fix problems promptly.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date above and let you know in the app or by email.
