Privacy Policy for RoastPaste

Last updated: 2026-07-02

RoastPaste is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy describes how RoastPaste handles data when you use the Chrome extension.

What Data We Handle

RoastPaste operates strictly as a utility. It processes:

  • Unstructured Coffee Information: The text data you copy-paste into the extension popup, or the text content extracted from the browser tab you select as the source.

  • Form Structure Metadata: The HTML tag names, attribute names, placeholders, and labels of the form inputs on the destination tab you select to fill.

  • Configuration Settings: Your custom Google AI Studio Gemini API Key and your chosen AI model selection.

2. How Data Is Stored

  • Local Storage: Your Gemini API Key and preferred model settings are saved locally on your device using `chrome.storage.local`. This data is never sent to our servers and is never synced to any cloud service by RoastPaste.

  • Temporary Memory: The unstructured coffee text and form metadata are processed in volatile memory (RAM) during active form-filling sessions. RoastPaste does not save, log, or store your coffee descriptions or page contents.

3. Third-Party Services & Data Transmission

To perform its core function (AI-powered form filling), the extension transmits the source coffee description text and the target form selector structure to:

  • Google Gemini API: Sent via HTTP POST requests to https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com.

  • These requests use your custom, user-provided Gemini API Key. Your data is governed by Google’s API terms and privacy policies. You can read the Google Privacy Policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4. Data Sharing & Tracking

  • RoastPaste does not collect, store, or transmit any analytics, telemetry, or user behavior tracking data.

  • RoastPaste does not sell, trade, or share any personal information, coffee records, or browsing data with third parties.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

  • All stored settings (including your API Key) can be deleted at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing the extension's data via Chrome’s extension management settings.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be updated directly in this document on the project's repository.
