Product-specific practices
Microphone analysis and optional local recordings
RoastEar processes live microphone buffers on the device only while the user enables acoustic assistance during a roast. The detector uses classical signal processing and does not send audio to Uncommon Weather, RevenueCat, CloudKit, or a model service.
If the user separately enables retained audio, the app saves an audio file and label manifest in protected local storage on that device. Those files are excluded from ordinary backup, do not sync through CloudKit, and leave only through an explicit share action. They are not automatically contributed to a training corpus.
Roast records and private iCloud synchronization
Roast records, temperature samples, beans, roasters, notes, and settings remain on the device and can synchronize through the user's private CloudKit database. Uncommon Weather does not operate a product-data server and cannot inspect or restore that private database.
Artisan interoperability and exports
A user-selected Artisan file is parsed locally. RoastEar creates Artisan JSON, history CSV, or an audio package only after the user requests it. Copies saved, uploaded, or shared remain with the destination or recipient until removed there.
Purchases and legal choices
Apple processes payment credentials. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user identifier and limited app, device, offering, transaction, purchase, and entitlement metadata needed to present products, restore purchases, and determine RoastEar Pro access. RoastEar does not send roast, bean, roaster, temperature, note, or audio content to RevenueCat.
The separate legal-choice service receives only signed, privacy-minimal evidence of an acceptance, decline, or withdrawal and does not receive roast or audio content.
Retention and deletion
SwiftData records remain until deleted locally or through available app controls, subject to private CloudKit synchronization. Optional audio remains on the originating device until the user deletes it. Product deletion does not erase exported copies, Apple or RevenueCat purchase records, provider security records, or privacy-minimal legal-choice evidence.
Service providers and disclosures
Apple provides iOS, App Store billing, and the Apple frameworks identified above. RevenueCat provides subscription-entitlement infrastructure. Supabase provides the separate legal-choice service and, where the product-specific sections say so, account, storage, synchronization, or server-function infrastructure. Cloudflare delivers and protects the public website. Other named providers process only the information needed for the selected function.
Ordinary connection metadata, such as IP address, route, response status, and timing, can be processed transiently by network, security, and hosting providers to deliver and protect a request. Information may also be disclosed when required by valid legal process, to protect rights or safety, to investigate abuse or security incidents, or in a business transaction with legally required safeguards.
Uncommon Weather does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, serve third-party ads, or track users across unrelated products.
Retention and deletion
Product data follows the product-specific retention and deletion boundaries above. Copies deliberately exported, uploaded, or shared remain wherever the user, recipient, or selected service saved them. Support correspondence is retained while needed to handle the request and for reasonable operational, security, and legal purposes. Apple, RevenueCat, Supabase, OpenAI where applicable, and other independent providers retain records under their own policies and legal duties.
Legal-choice events and acceptance receipts are append-only evidence retained until the verified relationship ends plus seven years. Related challenge, key-registration, request-audit, signing-key incident, receipt-integrity, and retention-purge records follow their security and legal-claims schedules. Immutable legal evidence may be retained where needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Security
The legal-choice system uses HTTPS, P-256 signatures, keyed pseudonyms, replay-resistant single-use challenges, strict product allowlists, rate limits, restricted service credentials, append-only evidence, and signed receipts. Apple security frameworks and the product-specific controls above protect other data where stated. No system is perfectly secure.
Choices and privacy rights
Users can decline, later withdraw to limited mode, review the current documents, or affirmatively accept from Legal & Privacy settings. Available product controls can manage permissions, delete or export product data, manage or restore purchases, and delete an account where applicable. Depending on location, rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, appeal, withdrawal, or a regulator complaint.
A current affirmative acceptance takes effect after it is durably saved on the device. Main-app access remains available while signed-receipt delivery retries after a non-terminal network, Apple, or service outage. Widgets, Live Activities, and other extension surfaces that require a verifiable cross-process receipt may wait until the server-signed receipt is received and verified. An explicit terminal rejection of the exact saved acceptance causes the client to quarantine that failed record and return to the appropriate decision or limited-state screen.
Children and eligibility
RoastEar is intended only for adults age 18 or older. The legal flow records only a broad adult age band and acceptor role, not a birth date.
Changes and related documents
Material changes receive a new immutable document version. Previously accepted users are asked to make one new choice for a materially changed family; continued use alone does not silently create acceptance. A stored decline or withdrawal remains limited without a recurring prompt. Read the RoastEar Terms of Service and RoastEar Product Schedule.
