Privacy Policy

The plain-English version

We collect the minimum needed to place a funny phone call. We never sell your data. Screenshots are read, roasted, and deleted. Recordings belong to the people on them. Declining a gift suppresses your number forever.

GuiltTrip is operated by RETHINK DESIGN LLC, doing business as GUILT TRIP ("GuiltTrip"), the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. Reach us about anything here at support@guilttrip.io.

From senders: your email, payment token (we never see card numbers — our processor does), and the roast ammo you write. From recipients: first name, phone number, and timezone — supplied by the sender. From self-roasters: your confession text or screenshot, and your verified phone number. That's the whole list.

If you upload a bank or card screenshot, we extract the charges with AI, use them for your one call, and permanently delete the image and extracted data within 24 hours of the call ending. Screenshots are never used to train anything, never shared, never stored past the call.

Every call is recorded — with the consent of the person being called, collected before the call. A recording is accessible only to the sender and the recipient of that call (self-roasts: only you). Recordings don't expire. Either party can request deletion and it applies to both copies.

Recipients explicitly opt in before any call. Every consent is logged (timestamp, token, response) and retained for 5 years. Declining pauses gifts from that sender; "Pause all gifts" pauses your number platform-wide; texting STOP does the same instantly. No pause is permanent unless you want it to be — opt back in anytime (to receive or to send) with one tap from any GuiltTrip link or by texting START. Until you do, we stay silent. If you choose "Never gift me again," that removal is permanent: no sender can undo it, and no re-opt-in path is shown.

The character on the call knows only: the recipient's first name, the ammo the sender wrote, and (for self-roasts) your confession. It has no access to accounts, credit reports, social media, or anything we didn't explicitly show it.

We never sell personal data. We never share it with advertisers. We never call anyone who hasn't consented. We never pull data from brokers. We have no bank connection to anyone — there is nothing to breach.

Only processors that make the product work: payment processing, SMS delivery, voice-call infrastructure, and cloud storage — each under contract, each receiving the minimum required. Full list available on request.

Access, correct, download, or delete your data anytime from the dashboard ("Delete my data") or by emailing support@guilttrip.io. We answer within 30 days. California and EU residents get the full CCPA/GDPR menu of rights.
