PRIVACY POLICY
ROASTER is operated by Trana, Inc. ("Company," "ROASTER," "we," "us," or "our").
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use roaster.quest and related services, products, features, pages, and applications (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
ROASTER is an AI-generated satire and entertainment product. Public roast pages may be shareable by direct URL.

We do not publicly show your email address, Google account name, billing name, or legal name by default. You may choose how ROASTER credits you publicly — options include your X handle, a pseudonym, or anonymous attribution.

- —public Reddit post titles, bodies, authors, subreddits, images, metadata, and URLs
- —other public context submitted by users
We use this information to generate satire and operate the Service. We do not claim ownership of third-party public content.
ROASTER may generate AI-powered satire, roast text, headlines, cards, share text, tags, labels, and public roast pages. Generated roasts may be publicly accessible by direct URL and may appear in ROASTER feeds, share previews, cards, or other public product surfaces.

- —payment status
- —Stripe customer ID
- —checkout session ID and payment intent ID
- —receipt or transaction metadata
- —email used at checkout
- —purchased credit pack or tip amount

4. // SEARCH INDEXING
Public roast pages are intended to be shareable by direct URL, not permanent search engine records. We mark generated roast pages as noindex, which asks search engines not to include them in results.
