RoastCastPrivacy Policy
Short version: we run on surprisingly little data. We never see
your payment details, we don't sell data, and viewer identity reaches us as a
platform-issued ID - not your name or email.
1. What we process
| Data | Where from | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform user ID (e.g. Twitch opaque ID) & channel ID | the platform, when you use the extension | deliver your summon to the right stream; per-viewer rate limits | summon queue: minutes · rate-limit counters: hours |
| Your choices in the panel: which character, which kind of scene | you, as taps - the extension has no box to type in | build the performance and safety-filter the line before it is spoken | processing + short operational logs (≤30 days) |
| What you write on a custom-character order | you, on this website - not in the extension | brief and build the character you ordered | for as long as the character exists |
| Chat messages on a RoastCast-enabled stream | the platform's public chat | the cast reads chat to react; per-viewer memory (e.g. running bits) is bounded and ages out automatically | in-memory; optional bounded profile store ages out |
| Waitlist email | you (if you email us) | early-access updates | until you ask us to remove it |
2. Mudge Hollow, the game
- Your town lives in your browser. The game keeps your save on your own device, in browser storage, not on our servers. If you choose to make a save code, a copy of that save is stored with us under the code so you can open it on another device; anyone with the code can open it.
- Membership. If you sign in as a member, we check your membership to give you its extras. Card details never reach us.
- Your own words to a character. When you type something to a character, it is sent to our AI provider to write the character's reply, checked by the same safety filter as everything else, and not kept beyond short operational logs. We don't use it to train anything. A roast you write at Roast Night is scored on our server and never repeated to anyone: the town only repeats that you did it.
- A rumour about a friend. The two names you type travel inside the link itself, signed so nobody can change them; we don't store them in any database. Whoever opens the link sees both names.
- Anonymous play counts. To know whether the game works, the page sends four kinds of count: a new town was started; somebody came back, and how many days after starting; a first Thursday meeting was reached; and roughly how long a sitting lasted. Each count is a word and a number, added to a daily total. There is no ID, no cookie and no account in it, and nothing links one count to another. To work out "came back after three days", the page keeps the date you started in your own browser and sends only the number of days. We don't count browsers that send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, and you can turn counting off in the game, under Settings.
3. What we never receive
- Payment details. Bits and similar purchases are processed entirely by the platform (e.g. Twitch). We see only that a summon was paid for.
- Your real identity as a viewer. Extensions hand us a platform-issued ID unless you explicitly grant the platform's identity-share prompt.
4. What we don't do
- No selling or renting of personal data. Ever.
- No ad tracking, no third-party analytics, and no cookies for counting: the game's play counts are our own, anonymous, and described above.
- No training of voice models on viewer audio - character voices are built exclusively from contracted, consenting performers.
5. Where it runs
Summon routing runs on our backend; speech generation runs on infrastructure we control. Standard service logs (IP, timestamp) may exist for security and debugging and are routinely purged.
6. Your choices & rights
- Don't want a character to interact with you? Don't summon one - the cast only personally roasts people who ask for it.
- You may request access to or deletion of data connected to your platform ID or email: privacy@roastcast.net. We honor applicable rights under GDPR/CCPA-style laws.
7. Children
RoastCast follows the age rules of the platform it runs on and is not directed at children under 13.
8. Changes
Updates are posted here with a new effective date.
