# Privacy Policy — R.I.S.E
**Last updated: May 8, 2026**
## 1. Overview
R.I.S.E is an Android application developed by IslanderSoft. It helps users fight the effects of a sedentary lifestyle through periodic movement reminders, strength exercises, and breathing sessions.
---
## 2. Data Collected
R.I.S.E collects **no personally identifiable information** and transmits **no data** to external servers. All information is stored exclusively on your device.
### Data stored locally
- **Preferences** — Language, sounds, vibrations, reminder interval, quiet hours, daily breathing goal
- **Daily progress** — Number of "Movement Break" sessions per day, breathing duration per day
- **Walking detection** — Step count and timestamp of the last detection window
- **Exercises** — Duration, sets, rest time, custom exercise order
- **Weekly schedule** — Session type per day (workout / rest)
- **App state** — Medical disclaimer acceptance, guided tour completed, Pro status (active or not)
- **Notification history** — Reminders and automatic credits for the current day, missed reminder count (reset daily)
This data is stored in Android DataStore and the Room database, both local to your device.

## 3. Android Permissions Used
- **`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`** — Send periodic movement reminders
- **`VIBRATE`** — Vibration on notifications (configurable)
- **`WAKE_LOCK`** — Keep the timer active during a workout or breathing session
- **`REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS`** — Allow the app to wake up every ~45 minutes to send a reminder, even in the background
- **`FOREGROUND_SERVICE` / `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC`** — Keep workout and breathing timers active in the foreground
- **`ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION`** — Detect sustained walking via the device's built-in step counter
> The `ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION` permission only accesses the device's hardware step counter (`TYPE_STEP_COUNTER`) to detect brisk walking (≥ 100 steps/min) and automatically credit a Movement Break period.
No GPS location data is used.

## 4. Data Sharing
R.I.S.E **shares no data** with third parties. The application:
- Uses no analytics service or advertising SDK
- Does not require an Internet connection (no network permission)
- Does not create user accounts
---
## 5. Health Data
R.I.S.E does not access Health Connect or any other health platform. Walking detection relies solely on the device's hardware step counter (`TYPE_STEP_COUNTER`), accessed directly through the Android API without any third-party health platform.
---
## 6. Data Retention and Deletion
All data is stored locally on your device. It is permanently deleted when you uninstall the application.
You can also clear the data at any time via:
**Android Settings → Apps → R.I.S.E → Storage → Clear data**
Notification history is automatically limited to the current day.

## 7. Children
R.I.S.E does not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13. The application is intended for an adult audience.
