Privacy Policy

Mishpacha is a Shabbat hosting pilot operated by Rabbi On Demand to help guests and hosts in Sydney make thoughtful Shabbat meal introductions.

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to provide through guest forms, host forms, compatibility profiles, enquiry forms and related communication. This may include contact details, suburb or general location, dietary needs, Shabbat preferences, hosting details, household context, notes and internal review status.

Some information, including dietary needs, religious practice, household details or Shabbat preferences, may be personal or sensitive in nature. By submitting it, you consent to us using it for the pilot purposes described here.

How We Use Information

We use your information to review applications, respond to enquiries, consider potential compatibility, communicate about possible introductions, coordinate Shabbat meals where both sides are comfortable, improve the MVP and keep basic operational records.

We do not sell your personal information.

Introductions and Privacy

Mishpacha is manually reviewed. Submitting a form does not guarantee a match. We only share the information needed to help a guest and host decide whether they are comfortable moving forward.

Service Providers

We may use trusted providers for hosting, database storage, email delivery and MVP operations. These providers may process personal information only as needed to support Mishpacha and Rabbi On Demand.

Security and Retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. We keep information for as long as needed to review applications, manage introductions, respond to enquiries, operate the pilot and maintain reasonable records.

Access, Correction and Deletion

You may request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we hold about you. We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited information where legal, safety or administrative reasons require it.

Children and Overseas Users

Mishpacha is intended for adults. If information about children is submitted as part of household detail, it should only be provided by a parent, guardian or responsible adult. Mishpacha is focused on Sydney, Australia, and information may be processed in Australia or by providers in other countries.

Terms of Use

These Terms of Use apply to the Mishpacha Shabbat Hosting website and MVP pilot. By using the website, submitting an application or enquiry, or participating in the pilot, you agree to these terms.

The Mishpacha Pilot

Mishpacha helps collect guest and host information, review potential compatibility and support personal introductions for Shabbat meals. It is not a public dinner marketplace, booking platform, payment platform, transport service, emergency service or guarantee of a match.

Eligibility

You should only use Mishpacha if you are at least 18 years old and able to provide accurate information. If you provide information about household members, children, guests or other people, you confirm that you have the right to do so.

No Guaranteed Match

Submitting a form does not guarantee acceptance into the pilot, a guest or host recommendation, a confirmed Shabbat meal, or any particular date, location, style of meal or participant.

Your Responsibilities

You agree to provide truthful and current information, communicate respectfully, disclose relevant dietary, allergy, access or safety needs, make your own judgment before attending or hosting, and follow agreed arrangements once an introduction is confirmed.

Hosts are responsible for the meal, home environment and hospitality they offer. Guests are responsible for their own conduct, travel decisions and personal belongings.

Safety and Personal Judgment

Mishpacha aims to support thoughtful introductions, but it cannot control every aspect of an in-person meal or private home environment. You should only proceed if you feel comfortable, and you may ask questions, decline an introduction or withdraw from the pilot at any time. For emergencies, contact local emergency services.

Information You Submit

You agree not to submit anything false, misleading, unlawful, abusive, discriminatory, threatening or invasive of another person's privacy. You give Mishpacha and Rabbi On Demand permission to use submitted information to review applications, respond to enquiries, consider introductions and operate the pilot.

Website Availability and Liability

The website is provided on an MVP basis and may change, pause or become unavailable without notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mishpacha and Rabbi On Demand are not liable for issues arising from private arrangements between participants.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, where permitted by law.
