It’s in their privacy policy https://duolicious.app/privacy/ under “How We Share Data”. The first two make a bit of sense (assuming they don’t host their own servers, they’re likely running in Google’s and Amazon’s datacentres), but wtf is OpenAI doing there!?
Yes, it seems like all of their source code, including the apps, is open source under a good license. Open source is not necessarily related to privacy though. Being more privacy-respecting than Tinder is a very low bar.
Personally, I’d recommend steering clear of this until they stop using Big Tech. Dating apps can involve a lot of private data being exchanged so ideally this would be at least end-to-end encrypted (it’s not encrypting data at rest) and available on F-Droid. Sending data to OpenAI is completely unnecessary, but the e2e encryption and app build transparency would be good enough if they can’t leave Google and Amazon for server hosting. It also doesn’t help that the app is just a joke (or so it seems).
Don’t stick with Tinder because Duolicious isn’t perfect. It’s like dismissing celery from your diet because it doesn’t have all the nutrients you need.
If one has to online date in order to get a partner the best shot is using the app that that has equal access to features and is open-source.
Go for in-person dating if you want to do that instead.

@[email protected] can you list a source?

I think they’re the only open-source dating app on iOS and they’re funded by donations.
They’re more private compared to Tinder.

Avoloa may be a better option though it’s only on Android:
