Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how RiseUp ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the RiseUp mobile application (the "App"). RiseUp is an alarm clock application that requires users to complete real-world challenges to dismiss alarms.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Account information: If you create an account, we may collect your email address and display name.
• Alarm settings: Your alarm times, challenge preferences, morning routine configurations, and related settings.
• Support inquiries: Information you provide when contacting us at support@riseupalarm.app.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Device information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and app version.
• Usage data: App interaction data such as alarm completion rates, challenge types used, streak data, and routine completion statistics.
• Crash and performance data: Diagnostic information to help us identify and fix bugs.

2.3 Camera Data

RiseUp uses your device camera solely for the Object Scanning challenge feature. When you use this feature:

• Camera access is requested only when you select an Object Scanning challenge.
• Images captured during the scanning process are analyzed on-device to verify the scanned object.
• Images are NOT stored, uploaded to our servers, or shared with any third party.
• Camera processing occurs entirely on your device using on-device machine learning.
• You may revoke camera access at any time through your device Settings without affecting other App functionality.

2.4 Notification Data

RiseUp requires notification permissions to deliver alarms at your scheduled times. Notification permissions are used exclusively for alarm delivery and optional morning routine reminders. We do not use push notifications for marketing or promotional purposes.

2.5 Motion and Sensor Data

If you select shake-based or step-based challenges, the App accesses your device’s accelerometer and motion sensors. This data is processed entirely on-device and is not transmitted to our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features.
• To deliver alarms and challenges at your configured times.
• To track your streaks, routines, and progress within the App.
• To respond to your support requests and communications.
• To analyze usage trends and improve user experience.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: We may use third-party analytics services (such as Firebase Analytics) to understand App usage patterns. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and process data on our behalf.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Any third-party service providers with whom we share user data will provide the same or equivalent protection of user data as stated in this Privacy Policy.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your alarm settings, challenge preferences, and routine data are stored primarily on your device. If you create an account, certain data may be synced to our secure servers to enable backup and cross-device functionality.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal compliance.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal data.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us at support@riseupalarm.app or through the App’s settings.
• Revoke permissions: You may revoke camera, notification, or motion sensor permissions at any time through your device Settings.
• Opt out of analytics: You may opt out of analytics data collection through the App’s settings.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us at support@riseupalarm.app.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those of your country. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy within the App and updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

11. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at support@riseupalarm.app.
