Privacy

Dilemma works without an account. Here is exactly what it keeps and why.

What we store

• A random ID in one cookie, so your picks stay yours between visits.
• Your picks: which of two options you chose, and how long you took.
• Your country, read once from the network when you first visit. Your IP address is not stored.
• Your browser language.

What we work out from your picks

From your picks Dilemma estimates your interests and a taste type, and a rough age range and gender, so the pairs and suggestions fit you better. These are guesses from choices like “beach or mountains”, not facts about you, and they are never shown to anyone else. Dilemma does not ask about or try to work out politics, religion, health or sexuality.

Connected services

If you connect Apple Music, YouTube, Last.fm or Steam, Dilemma reads your favourites once: artist names, game titles, video topics. It matches them to its own catalog and keeps only those matches and a short list of names. It never posts anything, and it does not keep your login or access token. Delete your data to remove them.

What others can see

Nothing, unless you share your link. A shared link shows your taste type, your top interests and some things you like. It never shows who you are.

Who else handles the data

Vercel hosts the app and Neon hosts the database. Vercel Web Analytics counts page views without cookies and without storing your IP address. We don’t sell your data. Some suggestions may be partner links; if you buy through one, we may earn a commission.

Hotel links

Hotels for your taste link to booking sites such as Booking.com. On the hotels screen we load a script from our affiliate partner Travelpayouts that turns those links into partner links, so if you book we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That script may set cookies and record which partner links are clicked. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland we only load it if you said yes to personalisation; without it the links still work. We count taps on “Check prices” to know which hotels people like; we don’t send your picks or your taste to the partner. Once you’re on the booking site, its own privacy policy applies.

Deleting your data

Open your profile and tap “Delete my data”. Everything tied to your ID is removed at once. Profiles that stay inactive for two years are deleted automatically. For anything else, write to ciao@dilemma.one.

Age

Dilemma is for people aged 13 and over.
