Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 4, 2026

Gentle Rise ("we", "our", or "the app") is an alarm clock app for iOS. Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data the app handles and how.

Data We Collect

Gentle Rise does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information. All data stays on your device.

Data Stored on Your Device

The app stores the following data locally on your device to function:

• Alarm settings — times, repeat days, sound preferences, labels, and toggles you configure.
• App preferences — snooze duration, default sound, and onboarding completion status, stored in UserDefaults.

This data is never sent to any server, third party, or external service.

Notifications & Alarms

Gentle Rise uses iOS notifications and AlarmKit to alert you at scheduled times. Notification content (alarm time, label) is processed entirely on your device by the operating system.

Analytics & Tracking

Gentle Rise does not use any analytics services, advertising frameworks, or tracking technologies. We do not collect usage data, crash reports, or device identifiers.

Third-Party Services

Gentle Rise does not integrate with any third-party services that collect data.

Children's Privacy

Gentle Rise does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated effective date.
