Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Roastrip. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data transparently and securely. This notice describes how we collect, use, store, and share your information, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data We Collect

To provide and improve our application, Roastrip collects the following categories of data:

• Account and Profile Information: First name, last name, date of birth, email (provided via registration or Social Login), and the nickname and emoji chosen by the user.
• Game Data (User Generated Content): Votes, written justifications, rooms you take part in, and interactions within the game.
• Moderation and Safety Data: Information relating to blocked or reported users, in order to keep the environment safe and comply with store guidelines.
• Technical and Notification Data: Anonymous notification token for real-time alerts, and basic device information needed to optimize the app.
• Subscription and In-App Purchase Data (Roastrip PRO): If you purchase Roastrip PRO, we receive — through our provider RevenueCat — your subscription status (active, expired, or cancelled), the product purchased (monthly or annual), and the related renewal or expiry dates. We never receive, view, or store your credit card details or payment method: these remain managed exclusively by the Apple App Store or Google Play.
• Marketing Consent (optional): If you choose to enable "Offers and news via email" at sign-up or from the app's Settings, we record this preference in order to send you promotional communications. You can revoke it at any time.

2. Processing via Artificial Intelligence (Google Gemini)

Roastrip uses Artificial Intelligence to generate the vacation's "Final Verdict" (Wrapped).

• Sharing of text: The justifications and comments entered in rooms are securely sent to Google Gemini's APIs solely for the automated generation of the verdict.
• No sensitive data, please: Since free-text entries are processed by an AI, we explicitly ask users NOT to enter sensitive personal data (e.g. information about health, political, religious, or sexual orientation, banking details) in vote comments and justifications. Roastrip accepts no responsibility for users voluntarily entering such data.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We never sell your data to third parties for advertising purposes. We share only the data strictly necessary with our service providers (Data Processors):

• Google Firebase: For infrastructure hosting, secure user authentication, and cloud database storage.
• Google Cloud / Gemini API: For processing in-game text and generating the Wrapped (data sent via API is not used by Google to train its public models).
• RevenueCat: To manage the status of your Roastrip PRO subscription (entitlement) across all your devices. RevenueCat receives a user identifier and purchase information (product, renewal/expiry date), but has no access to your payment card data.
• Apple App Store / Google Play: Roastrip PRO in-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple or Google, depending on your device. Roastrip never receives or stores payment data (card number, IBAN, Apple/Google account credentials): the transaction takes place between you and the store, under Apple's and Google's respective terms and privacy policies.
• Brevo: If you have enabled the "Offers and news via email" consent, we share with Brevo (an EU-based email marketing provider) only your first name, last name, and email address, solely to send you promotional communications. No other data is shared with this provider.

4. Purpose of Processing

Data is used exclusively to:

• Manage voting dynamics and the real-time progression of days within rooms.
• Generate the humorous end-of-vacation "Wrapped" via artificial intelligence.
• Allow other participants in your room to identify you.
• Send push notifications (e.g. reminders to vote).
• Keep the app safe, letting users report or hide inappropriate content.
• Manage in-app purchases and verify, in real time, access to Roastrip PRO features (advanced statistics), including restoring the subscription on a new device.
• Send you promotional communications and news about Roastrip via email, only if you have given your explicit, revocable-at-any-time consent.

5. Data Retention

We keep your data only for as long as necessary to provide the Roastrip service:

• Your profile data and room history remain active for as long as you keep your account.
• Data relating to reports of community rule violations is kept for as long as needed to complete moderation checks.
• When you delete your account, your personal data is permanently removed.
• Data relating to your Roastrip PRO subscription (status, product purchased, renewal dates) is kept by RevenueCat for the entire duration of the subscription and for as long as needed to handle any support or refund requests from Apple/Google.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, export, or delete your data at any time. Roastrip gives you direct tools to manage your privacy:

• Account Deletion (Right to Erasure): You can delete your account and all associated data (including votes and room participations) directly from the "Your Profile/Settings" section in the app. Deletion is final and removes the data from our Firebase databases irreversibly.
• Notification Management: You can revoke push notification permission at any time from your device settings.
• Withdrawing Marketing Consent: You can enable or disable promotional emails at any time via the "Offers and news via email" toggle in the app's Settings section: turning it off excludes you from future sends.
