ARISE Privacy Policy.
The short version: ARISE keeps your data on your device. We don't sell it, share it, or build profiles with it. We collect only what we need to run the app, and we're specific about what that is below.

Who we are
ARISE is developed and operated by RS Digital Labs ("we," "us," or "our"), an independent mobile software studio. You can contact us at support@rsdigitallabs.com.
What we collect — and what we don't
ARISE is designed to work primarily on-device. Here is exactly what we collect.
What we do not collect
- Your name, email address, or any account information
- Your location data
- Your contacts, photos, or media
- Your voice recordings — speech recognition is processed locally on your device and never stored or transmitted
- Any behavioral data used for advertising or profiling
What we do collect
- Subscription status: If you subscribe to ARISE Premium, your subscription status is managed and verified through RevenueCat (our payment processor) and Apple / Google. We receive a confirmation of active entitlement, but we do not receive or store your payment card information.
- Anonymous crash reports: If the app crashes, basic technical information (device type, OS version, app version, crash location in code) may be submitted automatically to help us fix the issue. This data contains no personal identifiers.
- App preferences and affirmations: Your selected categories, custom affirmations, streak count, and wake-time preference are stored locally on your device using secure on-device storage. This data does not leave your device.
Microphone and speech recognition
ARISE asks for microphone access so you can speak your affirmation aloud. Speech recognition is performed by the on-device speech recognition framework provided by Apple (iOS) or Android. We do not capture, store, transmit, or process any audio or transcription data. Your words stay on your phone.
You can revoke microphone permission at any time in your phone's Settings app. The app will still function — you can tap to count your repetitions manually.
Notifications
ARISE may send you a local morning reminder notification. These notifications are scheduled entirely on-device using your operating system's local notification system. We do not operate a push notification server, and we do not know when you receive or dismiss a notification. You can manage or disable notifications in your phone's Settings app at any time.
RevenueCat (subscription management)
Premium subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store or Google Play. We use RevenueCat as our subscription management layer. RevenueCat may collect anonymous analytics about subscription events (purchase, renewal, cancellation). RevenueCat does not receive your payment information — all payment is handled directly by Apple or Google.
RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy. Apple's privacy policy is at apple.com/legal/privacy. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
Children's privacy
ARISE is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at support@rsdigitallabs.com and we will delete it promptly.
Data retention and deletion
Because nearly all your data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time by uninstalling the app. Uninstalling ARISE removes all locally stored data, including your affirmations, streak, and preferences.
If you have an active Premium subscription, your subscription status is managed by Apple or Google. Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through your App Store or Google Play account settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Because we hold very little personal data (and most of it is on your own device), these rights are largely satisfied by your control over the app itself.
For any questions or requests, contact us at support@rsdigitallabs.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the app. Continued use of ARISE after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
