How It Works: The 3-Code System
DateRounds uses a simple, secure three-code system. No emails, no passwords, no personal data required.
1
Host Code (5 digits)
Example Host Code:65695
As the event organizer, you receive a unique 5-digit Host Code. This is your master control panel where you configure event settings, manage participants, and control round progression.
2
Event Code (5 digits)
Example Event Code:93021
Share this 5-digit Event Code with your participants. They use it to register for your event - entering only their first name, last initial, age, and gender. No email or phone required!
3
Personal Access Code (6 digits)
Example Access Code:818639
After registration, each attendee receives their own permanent 6-digit Access Code. This lets them return to their personal dashboard, see matches, submit preferences, and access results anytime.

Privacy & Security: Why Codes Instead of Accounts?
Your Data, Your Control
No email addresses collected or stored
No phone numbers required
No account creation or password management
No tracking cookies or behavioral profiling
No data sold to third parties (ever)
Optional data deletion after event completion
Codes expire automatically - no lingering accounts
Traditional event platforms force you to create accounts, verify emails, and share personal contact information before you even know if the event is worthwhile. DateRounds takes a different approach.
Our code-based system means participants can join events, make connections, and decide later if they want to share personal contact info - directly with each other, not with a database. This reduces friction for attendees, increases participation rates for hosts, and respects everyone's privacy.
