Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

The Roll Call is an address book where the people in your life fill in their own entry. That means we hold contact details about people who may never have signed up themselves — so this policy is written for both of you: the person keeping an address book, and the person who got a link and was asked to confirm their address.

The promise that shapes everything else

We never buy, scrape, guess, or enrich your address from anywhere. Everything in someone's address book about you is either something you typed and gave them, or something they typed in themselves because they already knew it. We do not use data brokers, people-search services, or public-records lookups to fill in blanks, and we never will. If you see your address here, it is because you or your friend put it here.

If you got a link asking you to confirm your details

Someone you know keeps an address book here and asked you to check what they have for you. That link is private and specific to you.

  • You only ever see your own information — never anyone else's entry, never their address book, never how many people they've asked.
  • What you submit goes to that one person, the one who sent you the link. It is not public, not searchable, and not shared with anyone else.
  • What we collect from you: the details you confirm or correct — your name, mailing address, and optionally an email and a birthday. If you choose to, you can also add a partner (their name, birthday and your anniversary), your children's first names and birthdays, and your pets (name and what kind) — plus anything you type in the "anything else changed?" box. Everything beyond your address is optional, and skipping it is a normal answer.
  • Optional and skippable: a few light questions — your morning drink, your evening drink, a guilty pleasure, a current obsession, and one thing you'd outsource if you could. You can skip every one of them and still update your address. They are not required for anything, and they go to that one person's address book like everything else.
  • Two different emails, and we keep them apart. If you give an email while confirming your details, it is a contact detail — it goes in that person's address book, the same as your address, and we do not email you because of it. If you separately ask at the end to hear about The Roll Call, that is a subscription: we store the exact wording you agreed to and when, every email has one-click unsubscribe, and you can stop at any time without affecting your entry in anyone's book.
  • You do not need an account to confirm your details, and we will not make you create one.

The jokes between screens are generated. Only what you typed in that sitting is sent to the model that writes them — never your stored record, never anybody else's details, and never anything from another person's address book. We keep what was shown to you so we can tell whether it was any good.

Want your entry removed from someone's book, or want to know what they hold about you? Write to hi@therollcall.io and we will help, including contacting the account holder on your behalf if you prefer.

If you keep an address book here

  • Your account: your name and email address, from the Google account you sign in with. We do not receive your Google password.
  • Your contacts: the entries in your book — names, addresses, contact details, birthdays, and your own private notes. Some of it comes from the people themselves; some you typed.
  • Your private notes stay private. Notes you add, and details like a friend's pet or a child's birthday, are visible only to you. They are never shown to the person they are about, never shared, and never included when an app or assistant you connect reads your book.
  • You are responsible for the people in your book. It is your address book, the way a paper one would be — please treat their details the way you'd want yours treated.

Who can see a contact's details

Only the person who was given them. Technically, every piece of information carries a record of who it was shared with, and nothing can be read without one — there is no directory, no global search, and no way for a stranger to look someone up. If you connect an app or AI assistant to your own address book, it can read only what you could already see, it cannot see your private notes, and every one of those reads is logged.

Where AI is involved

When the confirm page writes you a short, light response to the optional questions, it sends only what you just typed on that page to our AI provider — nothing from anyone's stored address book, and nothing about anyone else. If you use the quick-note feature in your own book, only the text of the note you wrote is sent; matching it to a person happens on our side, not theirs. AI providers process this to return a response and are not permitted to use it to train their models.

The waitlist

If you joined the waitlist, we collected your first name, last name if you gave one, your email address, what you wanted to use it for, and — for fun — your coffee order. We use it to email you when it opens, and nothing else.

Analytics and server logs

When you open an invitation link, we record that it was opened and which step you reached, so the person who sent it knows whether it worked. Those records are keyed to a one-way fingerprint of the link, never to your name, email or address, and they hold no answer you typed. We do not record your screen or your session, we do not track you across other sites, and there is no advertising network involved. Standard server logs, including IP address, are kept transiently to keep the site up and to stop abuse of the forms.

What we never do

We do not sell, rent, or trade anyone's personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's advertising. We use service providers to run the service — hosting, database, email delivery, analytics, and an AI provider — and they may process data only to provide those services to us. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Children

The Roll Call is not directed to children under 13, and a child may not hold an account or fill anything in. We never collect information from a child.

A parent or guardian may tell us their own child's first name and birthday, the way you would write it in a paper address book. We treat that exactly like every other detail here: it is shown only to the person whose address book it is, it never appears on a public page, it is never sold or shared, it is covered by the same deletion and access rights described below, and it is removed when the entry is removed.

If you are that child's parent or guardian and would rather we did not hold it, email hi@therollcall.io and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

Write to hi@therollcall.io to access, correct, or delete your information — whether you have an account or just appear in someone else's book. Every email we send includes one-click unsubscribe. Depending on where you live (the EU/UK under GDPR, California under CCPA/CPRA, and other places with similar laws) you may have further rights to access, correct, delete, port, or object to how your information is used, and the right not to have it sold or shared — which we don't do. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Retention

An entry stays in someone's address book until they delete it or you ask us to remove it. We keep a previous address after you move, so your friend's book knows the old one is out of date — tell us if you'd rather we didn't. Waitlist emails are kept until launch and a reasonable period after. Access logs are kept for a limited period for security.

Contact

Questions or requests: hi@therollcall.io. The Roll Call is operated by Chesherie LLC. We'll update this page if our practices change, and we'll change the date at the top when we do.
