Privacy Policy

Effective date: set at first release. Last updated: October 11, 2026.

Road Roast is made by Jarda, LLC ("we", "us"). It's built so that your driving stays yours.

What stays on your phone

Your trips, drive logs, grudges (places you missed a turn), saved Home and Work, favorite places and recent destinations (with the name and address the search showed; recents can be turned off or cleared in Settings), remembered cars, and settings are stored only on your device. We don't have servers that receive them. Deleting the app deletes them. Drive logs leave your phone only if you share one yourself.

What leaves your phone, and why

• Routes, maps and search. To show the map, find places and compute directions, your location, destination and what you type in search are sent to the map provider: Apple (Apple Maps) on iPhone and Mapbox on Android, under their privacy policies. Mapbox's software may also send anonymized usage and location telemetry; you can turn this off from the map's (i) menu.
• Weather. During a trip, the app sends your approximate location, rounded to about 1 km, to our server, which asks the weather service Open-Meteo for current conditions so Laura can react to rain or heat. Open-Meteo receives only that rounded location, nothing about you, and we don't store it.
• Speed limits. Speed-limit data downloads in map squares about 10 km wide along your route, from our file storage (Supabase). As with any download, the storage provider sees your IP address and which squares were fetched; we don't keep or use that.
• Voice packs and updates. Laura's recorded lines and other languages download from our file storage (Supabase) as plain downloads of public files. The app also reads a small public settings file there, and checks the App Store or Google Play for the latest version, so it can ask you to update.
• Laura's AI lines (off unless you turn them on). If you turn on AI lines in Settings, the app sends our server a few facts about the moment, such as the kind of turn, how the trip is going, the time of day and the weather. It never sends your location, street names, destination, name or any ID. Our server has an AI service write a new line (OpenAI, with Anthropic as a backup) and ElevenLabs turn it into Laura's voice. They receive only those facts and the line, under their own privacy policies, and may keep requests for a limited time under their terms. Settings > Laura's AI lines > What's shared shows exactly what is sent.
• Usage statistics. Unless you turn it off in Settings > Share anonymous usage stats (it's on by default), the app sends anonymous usage counts to our server (Supabase): things like trips finished, settings changed, the paywall shown, trials and purchases, and errors such as a route that failed. They carry a random ID made on your phone, which isn't tied to your name, email or any account; we store only a scrambled form of it, round times to the hour, and delete the records after 13 months. They never include your location, routes, destinations or places. You can reset the ID in Settings, and turning sharing off deletes it from your phone.
• Purchases. Subscriptions are handled by the App Store or Google Play; we never see your payment details. On Android, the app sends the purchase's confirmation code to our server, which checks it with Google and doesn't keep it.
• Voice commands. Commands like "take me home" go through Siri or Google Assistant and are handled by Apple or Google.
• Network addresses. Like any internet service, our hosting provider (Supabase) sees your IP address when the app connects. Our own code never stores it; to prevent abuse it keeps only a scrambled form with a daily count, for up to two days.

No ads, no tracking

Road Roast has no ads and no third-party analytics or advertising code. We don't track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell your data or share it for advertising.

Location permission

Used for navigation, including in the background during a trip so guidance continues with the screen off, and, rounded to about 1 km, for the trip's weather.

Age

Road Roast is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Before unlocking Filthy mode, the app checks your age using your phone's age signal (Apple's Declared Age Range or Google Play's age signals) or by asking you. It keeps only the result (whether Filthy is allowed) and the date of the last check, on your phone, so it doesn't ask every time. Your age or age range is never stored or sent to us. If we learn we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it.

Website sign-up

If you sign up on roadroast.site to hear when Road Roast launches, we keep your email address only to tell you about Road Roast. It's stored in our database, hosted by Supabase. To unsubscribe or have it deleted, email info@jarda.ai.

Your privacy rights

You have the right to access, delete, or correct your personal data. Apart from the anonymous usage statistics and the short-lived records described above, we don't keep data about you on our servers: it's on your phone, where you can change or delete it in Settings or by deleting the app. The usage statistics aren't tied to your identity, so we can't look them up by name; resetting the usage ID or turning sharing off cuts the link from your phone. For anything else, email us.
