Privacy Policy

Rise helps you build a wake-up and wind-down routine. This policy explains how the Rise app handles information, including information processed by the providers that operate its features. Contact the developer through Rise Support or support@rise-alarm.app with privacy questions or requests.

Account and profile information

Rise uses Supabase to authenticate your account and store your app data. Email accounts use your email address and password. If you choose Sign in with Apple or Google, those providers authenticate you and supply the account identifier and profile details you authorize, such as your name and email address. Rise does not receive your Apple or Google password. We store your account identifier and the name, avatar, or profile photo you choose to provide.

Your routines and app content

Rise stores your alarms, task choices, checklists, settings, quiz answers, and wake-up history so you can use the app across sessions and see your progress. This information is associated with your account. It may include your intended wake and sleep times, answers about snoozing and scrolling, and apps you identify as distracting. These are your answers and settings, rather than a record of everything you do on your phone.

Optional AI photo checks

Some wake-up tasks can use a photo to check whether the task appears complete. Before sending a photo, Rise explains this processing and asks for your permission. If you agree, the photo you take and the task description pass through Rise's Supabase backend to Anthropic's Claude API for analysis. AI checks can be inaccurate. You can decline or withdraw this permission in Settings and use a typing challenge instead.

Rise does not save task-verification photos in its account photo storage. Temporary photo files may exist in your device's cache. Anthropic's standard API policy generally deletes inputs and outputs within 30 days; longer retention can apply under its safety, legal, or other stated exceptions. Do not assume zero retention. See Anthropic's API retention policy and privacy policy. Avoid photographing private documents, bystanders, or anything unnecessary for the task.

Profile photos

A profile photo you choose is uploaded to private Supabase storage and linked to your account. Rise uses temporary signed links to display it. Do not share those links: someone with an unexpired link may be able to view that image. Profile photos are separate from optional AI task photos.

Speech, camera, and motion permissions

Speech tasks require on-device recognition. Rise does not send the speech recording or transcript to its backend. If on-device recognition is unavailable, you can use another task. Motion and step checks use the phone's sensors to check task completion locally; Rise does not upload raw motion or step-counter readings. Camera and photo access are requested for the features you choose. You can change these permissions in iOS Settings.

Screen Time and alarms

If you enable app restrictions, Rise uses Apple's Family Controls and Screen Time interfaces with your authorization. Apple provides protected selection tokens to apply the restrictions; these tokens may be saved with your Rise settings. The tokens do not give Rise's servers a readable list of the apps you selected. Quiz answers where you name distracting apps are separate from those protected selections.

AlarmKit and local notifications schedule alarms on your device. Your alarm settings may also be saved in your account. iOS controls alarm authorization, system alerts, and notification behavior. You can revoke permissions in iOS Settings.

Subscriptions and purchases

Apple handles App Store billing and payment-card information. Rise uses RevenueCat to verify receipts, restore purchases, and determine access to paid features. RevenueCat receives your Rise account ID, purchase and subscription information, and technical information needed to operate its SDK, such as app and operating-system versions. Your account ID is associated with your Rise account, so this purchase information is not anonymous. RevenueCat also provides subscription history and reporting. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Basic usage information

After sign-in, Rise records a small set of events to understand whether onboarding and purchases work: viewing the paywall, completing onboarding, and starting a subscription or trial when applicable. These records include your account ID, event name, and time. They do not include the text of your checklists or a persistent installation-tracking ID. We use these records for basic service analytics, not advertising.

Apple, Supabase, and the other providers may also process ordinary connection, security, transaction, or operational logs when providing their services. If you contact support, we receive the message, your email address, and any information you choose to include.

Who processes information

• Supabase: account authentication, app data, private profile-photo storage, and backend processing.
• Apple: optional sign-in, App Store payments, and device features such as alarms, speech recognition, and app restrictions.
• Google: account authentication when you choose Google sign-in.
• RevenueCat: purchase validation, entitlement status, restoration, and subscription reporting.
• Anthropic: the optional photo checks described above.

We do not sell your personal information or use advertising SDKs to track you across other companies' apps or websites. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when necessary to investigate abuse, protect security, or establish or defend legal rights.

Retention, deletion, and choices

We keep account data while it is needed to provide your account and app features. You can edit your profile and routines in the app, revoke device permissions in iOS Settings, and withdraw optional AI-photo consent in Rise Settings.

You can request account deletion in Rise → Settings → Delete account. This removes your account and associated active app records through the deletion process. Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription: cancel it separately in Apple subscription settings. Payment providers may keep transaction records under their own requirements. Restricted backup, security, and legal records may remain for a limited period where necessary or required; deleting an account cannot instantly erase copies already held by an independent provider.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to processing of your information, and to withdraw consent or complain to a privacy regulator. Contact Rise's developer to make a request. We may need to verify the account belongs to you. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already occurred lawfully.

Security and international processing

Rise uses encrypted network connections, account authentication, and access controls to help protect your data. No system can guarantee absolute security. Our providers may process data in countries other than where you live under their applicable contractual and privacy safeguards. Do not send passwords, verification codes, or sensitive documents to support.

Where a legal basis is required, processing is based on providing the service you request, your consent for optional features where appropriate, legal obligations, and legitimate interests such as keeping the service secure and understanding basic service use, subject to your rights.

Children and changes

Rise is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information improperly. We will update this policy when our practices change and update the date above; material changes will be communicated when required.
