When you use EditRoast, we may collect:
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your manuscript content with third parties.
When you select a manuscript, its text is processed locally in your browser to calculate the word count. If you continue to checkout, the original file is uploaded to private cloud storage before payment so it cannot be lost between upload and checkout.
The stored file is accessible only to EditRoast's service systems and editorial team, and is used solely to deliver your order. You may request its deletion at any time.
All payments are processed by Polar, our Merchant of Record. We do not store or have access to your credit card information. Polar's privacy policy governs the handling of your payment data.
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. These tools may collect anonymized data about pages visited, device type, and interactions. We do not use this data to identify individual users.
We use minimal cookies necessary for the site to function. Analytics tools may set their own cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some site functionality.
Our editorial reviews are prepared with the assistance of AI language model tools. When you submit a manuscript for review, your text is processed by these tools as part of generating your feedback.
These tools operate as data processors, not as independent third parties. This means:
We do not use your manuscript to build, fine-tune, or improve any AI model. We do not store your manuscript content beyond what is required to deliver your review.
You may request deletion of any personal data we hold about you via our contact form. We will respond within 30 days.
