Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

RoastMaster ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using RoastMaster, you consent to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide:

• Account details such as your name, email address, and profile information
• Roast logs, tasting cards, photos you upload, posts, and comments
• Optional profile fields like location, favorite roast, and equipment

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data such as which features you use and how often
• Device and app diagnostics to help us improve stability

3. Payment Information

Subscription payments are processed by Stripe, our payment provider. RoastMaster does not store your full card number or sensitive payment details. Stripe handles that information according to its own security standards. We retain only your subscription status and transaction history necessary to manage your account.

4. How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• To create and manage your account and authenticate you
• To display your content and enable social features like following and comments
• To process subscriptions and manage entitlements
• To communicate with you about your account and important changes
• To monitor and protect against fraud, abuse, and policy violations

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate the Service (for example, with Stripe for payments and our hosting and analytics providers), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of others. Content you choose to post publicly (such as posts and comments) is visible to other users according to the visibility settings you select.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can delete your account and associated data at any time from the Profile screen; deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. We may retain limited information where required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention and record-keeping.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of certain marketing communications
• Withdraw consent where we rely on consent to process your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the appropriate channels provided in the application.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

RoastMaster is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the Service. Your continued use of RoastMaster after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
