Beef ("the App") is operated by Rooney Industries LLC (Littleton, CO, USA). This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how to delete it.
What we collect
- Email address — for magic-link sign-in. We never send marketing email.
- First name — shown to people you beef with. You set this during onboarding.
- The content of your disputes — the positions you write, the verdicts and roasts the AI judge returns, who won.
- Head-to-head records — win/loss counts between you and people you've beefed with.
- Device push token — so we can notify you when a verdict is rendered or someone joins your beef. Stored only if you grant notification permission.
- Timestamps — when you signed up, when a dispute was created and resolved.
What we do NOT collect
- Location
- Contacts
- Camera, microphone, or photo library access
- Web browsing or app usage analytics
- Advertising identifiers (IDFA)
- Health data
Where your data goes
- Supabase (our backend). Hosts your account, profile, and disputes. See Supabase privacy policy.
- Groq (LLM provider). We send the text of both dispute positions to Groq to generate the verdict and roast. We do not send your email, name, or any other identifier alongside the text. See Groq privacy policy.
- Apple / Google push services, if you've enabled notifications. Only the push token and the verdict notification body go through them.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.
How long we keep your data
We keep your disputes, profile, and head-to-head records until you delete your account. When you delete your account, we remove:
- Your profile
- Your push tokens
- All disputes where you are the creator or opponent
- Your head-to-head records
- Your authentication record
This happens within 7 days of your deletion request.
How to delete your account
Open the app → Settings → Delete my account. If you don't have the app installed, see our data deletion page or email us at captaincolinr@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my Beef account".
Age
Beef is an 18+ service. It is not directed at children or teenagers, and you must be 18 or older to create an account — the app contains AI-generated roasts and user-submitted arguments that may include mature language. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if we learn an account belongs to a minor, we delete it.
Content moderation
We run user-submitted positions through a safety classifier (Groq's gpt-oss-safeguard-20b) before showing them to the AI judge. Disputes containing hate speech, explicit harassment of real people, threats of violence, or sexual content involving minors are rejected.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or similar laws: access, correction, deletion, and portability of your data. Email captaincolinr@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date above and prompt you to review it the next time you open the app.
