Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026 · This page is maintained by Dyne to answer common questions about how the service handles personal data.

1. Who we are

Dyne (dyne.fi) is a restaurant discovery and table booking service operating in Helsinki, Finland. Dyne acts as the data controller for the personal data described here. Contact: dynerestaurants@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

Booking data. When you book a table we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, party size, occasion and any notes you choose to share (for example allergies).

Partner account data. Restaurant partners' accounts store an email address and the restaurant information they provide (description, opening hours, booking settings).

Technical data. We use browser storage to keep partner sessions signed in and to remember your cookie preference.

3. Why we process it

Booking data is processed to fulfil your reservation (contract): the restaurant you book receives your details so they can host you. Partner account data is processed to provide the partner portal. We also use data to prevent abuse of the booking system (legitimate interest).

4. Who we share it with

The restaurant you book receives your booking details — nothing more, nothing less. Our cloud hosting and database provider processes data on our behalf to operate the service. The map preview on the homepage loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap, which means your browser makes a standard request to their servers when you view that section.

We do not sell personal data.

5. Retention

Bookings are kept while the restaurant uses the service, so both you and the restaurant have a reservation history. You can ask us to delete your booking data at any time (see below).

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. To exercise these rights, email dynerestaurants@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).

7. Cookies and local storage

Dyne uses essential browser storage to keep partner sessions signed in and to remember your cookie choice. We do not currently use advertising or third-party analytics cookies. If that changes, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.

8. Changes

We may update this policy as the service evolves. The current version is always available on this page.
