RiseReps

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the RiseReps mobile application ("RiseReps," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the app. RiseReps is a proof-of-wake alarm that uses on-device camera processing to verify exercise reps before dismissing your alarm.

Short version: RiseReps is built to keep your data on your device. Camera frames used to count reps are processed locally and never recorded, uploaded, or transmitted. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't use third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.

1. Information We Handle

Information processed entirely on your device

Camera input. While you are completing reps, the camera feed is analyzed in real time using Apple's Vision body-pose framework. Frames are not stored, recorded, or sent to any server.
Onboarding answers and profile. Goals, schedule, fitness level, and similar responses you provide during setup are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData.
Alarms, workouts, and progression history. Your scheduled alarms, exercise selections, completed reps, streaks, and stats are stored locally.
Settings. Sound choices, notification preferences, partner alert preferences, and Screen Time configuration are stored locally.

Information handled by Apple on your behalf

In-app purchases. Monthly and Lifetime Pro subscriptions are processed by Apple via StoreKit. We never see your payment details. Apple provides us a receipt that confirms your subscription status.
Accountability Partner pairing. If you choose to pair with a partner, pairing and partner status are synced through Apple's iCloud / CloudKit using your Apple ID. We do not operate our own servers for this. Only your iCloud-derived partner identifier and partner status (e.g., paired, completed) are exchanged — never camera footage.
Notifications. Alarm, workout reminder, weekly recap, and partner alerts are scheduled as local notifications on your device.

Information we do not collect

We do not record, store, upload, or transmit any video, photo, or audio from your camera or microphone.
We do not collect your precise location.
We do not use third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs.
We do not require an account, email, or password to use the app.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

2. Permissions We Request

Camera — required to count reps. Used only while a workout is active. No frames are saved.
Notifications — required for alarms to fire and for reminders / partner alerts.
Screen Time / Family Controls (optional) — used locally to support lockdown features. Activity data stays on-device under Apple's framework.

3. How We Use Information

Information stored on your device is used to:

Schedule and trigger alarms.
Verify reps and dismiss alarms.
Track streaks, stats, and progression.
Personalize the experience based on your onboarding answers.
Sync partner status (if you opt in) through iCloud.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Because nearly all RiseReps data is stored locally, you can delete it at any time by deleting the app or by resetting it from the in-app Settings. Subscription receipts are managed by Apple under your Apple ID. Partner pairing data stored in iCloud can be removed by unlinking your partner in-app or by deleting the app on all your devices.

5. Children's Privacy

RiseReps is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can address it.

6. Security

Your data lives on your device, protected by your device's standard security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, and iOS sandboxing). iCloud-synced partner data is protected by Apple's iCloud security. No system is perfectly secure, but we minimize risk by minimizing what we collect.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Access / deletion: all in-app data can be viewed in the app and removed by uninstalling or resetting the app.
Permissions: camera, notifications, and Screen Time access can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings.
Subscriptions: manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA. See User Privacy Choices for details.

8. International Users

RiseReps is operated from the United States. If you use the app from outside the U.S., understand that any iCloud-synced data is handled by Apple under Apple's terms and may be processed in other countries.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, in-app.
