RynoDyno ("RynoDyno," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website and service at rynodyno.com (the "Service"). We are located in Orange County, California. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information, including rights available to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
1. Information we collect
We collect information in three ways: information you provide, information collected automatically, and information from service providers.
Information you provide
- Account information: When you create an account, we receive identifiers such as your email address and user ID through our authentication provider, Clerk.
- User content:Text you paste or submit to be roasted ("Input"), and AI-generated roast output ("Output"). Signed-in users' Input and Output may be stored in our database as roast history.
- Communications: If you email us at hello@rynodyno.com, we collect the content of your message and your email address.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data: Roast counts, subscription status, and feature usage (for example, free-tier limits).
- Cookies and similar technologies: We use a cookie to track anonymous roast usage for visitors who are not signed in. Authentication and billing providers may set their own cookies when you sign in or subscribe.
- Device and log data: Our hosting and infrastructure providers may collect IP address, browser type, timestamps, and similar technical data in server logs.
Payment information
Paid subscriptions are processed by Clerk Billing and Stripe. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers. Stripe and Clerk may collect billing name, payment method details, billing address, and transaction history as needed to process payments.
2. How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
- Authenticate users and manage accounts
- Process subscriptions and payments
- Send your Input to third-party AI providers to generate roast Output
- Enforce free-tier and paid-tier usage limits
- Store roast history for signed-in users
- Respond to support requests and legal inquiries
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues
- Comply with applicable law
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Roast Output is AI-generated entertainment content, not a decision about you.
3. How we disclose information
We disclose personal information to service providers that help us run the Service, including:
- Clerk — authentication, account management, and billing
- Stripe — payment processing (via Clerk Billing)
- Fireworks AI — AI inference to generate roast Output from your Input
- Neon — database hosting for roast history and usage data
- Vercel — application hosting
- Cloudflare — DNS and related infrastructure
These providers process data on our behalf under contractual obligations consistent with this policy. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may submit a request regarding sale or sharing using the contact information below; we will confirm our practices in response.
4. California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights, subject to certain exceptions:
- Right to know: Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected, the sources, purposes, and third parties to whom we disclosed it.
- Right to delete: Request deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Right to correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Right to portability: Request a copy of certain personal information in a portable format.
- Right to opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Right to limit use of sensitive personal information: We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes beyond what is permitted by CPRA without required consent.
- Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

5. AI processing notice
When you submit Input, we send it to a third-party AI provider to generate roast Output. Do not submit information you are not comfortable being processed by an AI service, including sensitive, confidential, or personal information about yourself or others. AI Output may be inaccurate, offensive, or inappropriate; it is generated for entertainment purposes.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us at hello@rynodyno.com and we will take steps to delete it.
9. International users
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the U.S. and other countries where our providers operate.
