Roast Pi Roaster Community Rules and Privacy Addendum

Terms addendum · Article 1 Purpose and scope

1. This addendum governs the Roaster Community the Company provides to members (general discussion board, question board, equipment board, community profile, activity points and levels, Honor Roasters, partner benefit listings, notifications, bookmarks, reports and blocks).
2. Matters not covered here follow the Roast Pi Terms of Service. If this addendum and the Terms of Service differ on a community matter, this addendum applies to community use.

Terms addendum · Article 2 Eligibility and consent

1. Only signed-in members can use the community. Community pages and posts are not available to signed-out visitors or search engines.
2. To create a community profile, a member must choose a nickname (2–20 characters) and agree to this document (the community policy). The Company records the agreed consent version (community-policy-r1) on the community profile. The consent screen links to the full text of this document.
3. Nicknames that could be mistaken for staff (e.g. admin, moderator, roastpi, 운영자, 관리자, 로스트파이) and nicknames already in use (case- and width-insensitive) are not allowed.

Terms addendum · Article 3 Posting

1. General discussion is the default board, alongside the questions board. The equipment-brand board is currently hidden from the menu. Existing equipment posts and data are preserved; equipment posts must name an equipment brand.
2. Titles are 3–120 characters and bodies 10–15,000 characters. Only limited formatting is allowed; other markup is not saved.
3. A post may include up to 3 images (PNG, JPEG, WebP). The browser shrinks images before upload, and the server re-encodes each image as JPEG with the longest side at most 1,200 pixels. EXIF and other metadata, including GPS location, are not stored.
4. A member may create up to 20 posts and 100 comments per day. These creation caps and the activity-point daily limits in Article 8 all reset at midnight Korea time (00:00 KST).

Terms addendum · Article 4 Rights in posts

1. Copyright in a post remains with the member who wrote it.
2. The member grants the Company a free licence to store, display and transmit the post to other signed-in members within the community service, to the extent needed to operate it. The Company does not publish posts outside the service or provide them to third parties beyond that scope.

Terms addendum · Article 5 Prohibited conduct

Members must not:

1. post another person's personal information (contact details, address, real name, etc.) without that person's consent;
2. post unauthorised advertising or promotion, or repeat the same content;
3. impersonate another member or staff;
4. post content that breaks the law or infringes others' rights (copyright, trademark, reputation, etc.);
5. send automated bulk requests that disrupt the community.

Terms addendum · Article 6 Editing and deletion

1. Only the author can edit or delete a post or comment. Staff do not edit the body of a member's post.
2. When a member deletes a post, its title, body and images are erased immediately. A deleted marker and the author, board, category, brand, model and creation/deletion times remain. Other members' comments under that post are shown to no one but stay in the database until handled under Part 2, Article 4.
3. When a member deletes a comment, its body is erased immediately. A deleted marker, the author and timestamps remain.
4. Deleting a post or comment reverses the activity points it earned. Deleting a post also reverses the points earned by comments on it and any accepted-answer points.
5. Handling and retention of the records remaining under paragraphs 2 and 3 follow Part 2, Article 4.

Terms addendum · Article 7 Reports, blocks and moderation

1. Members can report posts and comments (reason up to 500 characters). Repeated reports of the same item by the same member are recorded once.
2. Staff can hide and unhide reported posts and comments. Hidden content is not shown to any member, including its author, and its content is kept for restoration until handled under Part 2, Article 4.
3. When staff hide or unhide an item, reports about it are marked resolved.
4. Hiding reverses related activity points; unhiding does not re-award them.
5. A member can block another member. Blocked members' posts, comments, profile and notifications are no longer shown to the blocker. The blocked member is not notified.
6. For every hide and unhide the Company keeps a staff audit record: the staff account ID, the content author's account ID, the item type and ID and its post ID, the action (hide/unhide), the state before and after, the reason entered by staff, the number of reports resolved, and the time. Staff do not put more personal information than necessary in the reason.

Terms addendum · Article 8 Activity points and levels

1. Activity points only indicate community activity. They cannot be exchanged for cash, payments or discounts, and cannot be transferred.
2. Award rules: new post 10 points (up to 3 per day), new comment 2 points (up to 10 per day), my answer accepted 30 points (up to 3 per day), monthly Honor Roaster 300 points (once per performance month). Daily limits reset at midnight KST.
3. Points are reversed on deletion, hiding, un-accepting an answer and honor revocation. Levels are based on cumulative points.
4. If a change to the award rules is unfavourable or material to members, the Company changes the consent version and gives notice under Article 15.

Terms addendum · Article 9 Quality tier display

1. The quality tier (C1–A2) is derived from the member's own roasting records using the existing data-quality score and the number of eligible records in the month. With fewer than 10 eligible records, no tier is shown.
2. The current tier is always visible to the member and is visible to other members only if the member turns on Show tier (default: off). Turning it off hides it from others immediately. If the member opted into Honor Roasters and was selected, the tier at selection is shown under Article 10.
3. The community never shows raw roasting records, scores or record counts to other members.

Terms addendum · Article 10 Honor Roasters

1. Staff manually select Honor Roasters from members who turned on Honor Roaster participation (default: off) and reached tier A in the previous completed month.
2. A selected member's nickname, profile image, tagline, selection month and tier at selection (A1/A2) are shown to signed-in members in the Honor Roasters list. This follows the participation setting, separate from the Show tier setting in Article 9. Turning participation off removes the honors from the list and profile (points already awarded remain).
3. At most 3 members are selected per month. Members who tie with the third place on every selection criterion (tier at selection, integer quality score and number of eligible records) are selected together, so there may be more than 3.
4. If staff revoke a selection, the awarded points are reversed.
5. For each selection and revocation the Company keeps a staff audit record containing the staff account ID, the member account ID, month, tier, score and number of eligible records (Part 2, Article 4).

Terms addendum · Article 11 Partner benefits

1. Staff register and publish partner benefits; paid partnerships are labelled. Benefits outside their publication window or hidden by staff are not shown to members.
2. The Company does not provide members' personal information to partners. External partner links are governed by that site's own terms and privacy practices.

Terms addendum · Article 12 Translation

The community does not currently provide automatic translation. Posts are shown in the language they were written in, and post content is not sent outside the Company for translation. Enabling translation would require separate notice and any required steps, including disclosure of processors and overseas transfers.

Terms addendum · Article 13 Suspension of the feature

The Company may switch the whole community off when operationally necessary. While it is off, community pages and features are unavailable and stored data is not deleted. When it is switched back on, members continue with their existing data. Roasting, billing and other services are unaffected.

Terms addendum · Article 14 Account deletion

When a member deletes their account, community data is handled under Part 2, Article 5. Comments other members left on the member's posts are deleted as well; other members' own posts remain.

Terms addendum · Article 15 Changes and renewed consent

1. When the Company changes this document, it posts the change and the effective date on the website's legal pages before it takes effect and links it from the site footer. The notice period follows the Terms of Service change clause and applicable law and guidelines.
2. For a change that is unfavourable or material to members, the Company changes the consent version. Until a member agrees to the new version, they cannot create or edit posts or comments or accept answers. Before agreeing again they can still read, report, block, bookmark, delete their own posts and comments, and delete their account.
3. Wording or guidance fixes that are not unfavourable may change only the document ID and keep the consent version.

Privacy addendum · Article 1 Data processed

The community does not show account email, internal account IDs, payment information or raw roasting records to other members.

Privacy addendum · Article 2 Purposes and legal basis

1. Purposes: questions and answers and equipment information sharing among members, activity display, abuse prevention and handling reports, and recording staff actions.
2. Basis: performance of the service contract with members who chose to join the community (Personal Information Protection Act Art. 15(1)(4)). Tier display and Honor Roaster participation are optional settings the member turns on.

Privacy addendum · Article 3 Visibility

1. Nickname, optional profile fields (bio only when shown), level, posts, comments and images are visible to signed-in members.
2. The current quality tier is visible to others only with Show tier on; honors and the tier at selection (A1/A2) only with Honor Roaster participation on.
3. Never shown to other members: email, account ID, payment information, raw roasting records, scores and record counts, reporter identity (reports are seen by staff only), and staff audit records.

Privacy addendum · Article 4 Retention

The only community data processed automatically by age is notifications (90 days). No period has been set for the other items and no age-based job for them is switched on, so they are kept until an event in the table below (deletion, account deletion, etc.). If the Company sets a period and switches on automatic processing, it posts the revised table before the change takes effect. Classification: content (text, images, reasons written by people), identifiers (account IDs etc.), metadata (times, states, categories).

Privacy addendum · Article 5 Account deletion and destruction

1. When a member who signed up with email confirms their password and deletes their account, deletion is immediate (no grace period). Accounts linked only to social login are handled through customer support (Privacy Policy Article 5).
2. On account deletion the following community data is permanently deleted from the database: the profile (including image); all of the member's posts (including deleted and hidden ones) and their images; all of the member's comments; other members' comments on the member's posts; reports and point records about the member's posts and comments (including points other members earned for comments on those posts); reports the member filed; the member's points and honors; blocks made by or against the member; and bookmarks and notifications related to the member. Accepted-answer markers on other members' posts that pointed to the member's comments are cleared.
3. The same deletion runs through database triggers when staff remove an account.
4. What remains after deletion: the deactivated account row (the account ID remains; the email is replaced with a non-recoverable value), staff audit records (account IDs, item IDs, reasons; Article 4), payment records kept by law (Privacy Policy Article 4), and backup copies while they are retained.
5. Method: database rows are deleted or the relevant fields are overwritten with empty values. Backups follow the Privacy Policy's backup rules.

Privacy addendum · Article 6 Processors and overseas transfer

1. Community data and images are stored in the existing member database (Amazon Web Services, Seoul region), not in a separate file store such as Cloudflare R2.
2. Cloudflare, Inc. (United States) operates the reverse proxy (delivery and security) that forwards requests to the Company's servers for the website (roastpi.com, www.roastpi.com), the API (api.roastpi.com) and downloads (download.roastpi.com). The Company confirmed this on 2026-10-17 from each address's response headers (server: cloudflare, cf-ray).
3. Items: client IP address, request URL and headers (including browser information, cookies and sign-in tokens), and request and response bodies while in transit (including community posts, comments and images). Encrypted connections terminate at Cloudflare and are re-sent to the Company's servers. Responses from these addresses send browsers a Network Error Logging setting; when a connection error occurs, the browser may send that report to a Cloudflare address (a.nel.cloudflare.com).
4. Countries, timing and method: each request is processed over the network through Cloudflare data centres (which may be outside Korea). Purposes: service delivery and security. Retention: per Cloudflare's own practices; the Company has not verified that period. Contact: [email protected].
5. Because every web and API request passes through Cloudflare, refusing this processing means the website and community cannot be used.
6. Error reporting to Sentry is as described in Privacy Policy Article 7.
7. Because automatic translation is off, no personal information is sent to DeepL or any translation provider. No member information is provided to partner-benefit businesses.
8. Cloudflare sources consulted: how Cloudflare works https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/ · Network Error Logging https://developers.cloudflare.com/network-error-logging/ · privacy policy https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ · South Korea addendum https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/southkorea-addendum/

Privacy addendum · Article 7 Member rights

Members can change profile fields and visibility settings, edit and delete their own posts and comments, and remove blocks and bookmarks themselves. Other requests for access, correction, deletion or suspension of processing go through the contacts in Privacy Policy Articles 8 and 11.

Privacy addendum · Article 8 Notice and consent

1. Part 1 and this addendum are posted on the website's legal pages (/legal/community) when the community opens, with a link in the site footer.
2. Consent to the community policy is collected when the profile is first created; the consent version (community-policy-r1), the consent time and the SHA-256 hash of the full agreed text are recorded on the community profile. The recorded hash equals the document hash shown at /legal/community, and the full text with that hash is kept in the Company's document history. When the consent version changes, consent is collected again under Part 1, Article 15.
3. This policy does not change the consent-record versions of the Terms of Service or the Refund Policy. Whether to change them is a separate decision; if changed, existing members cannot start a new paid contract until they accept again on the billing screen (automatic renewal of existing subscriptions is not affected).
