Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

We collect as little as we can while still letting the app work. Here’s the honest breakdown for Phase 1:

Stored locally on your device only

• Your alarms, missions, and difficulty settings
• Your streak and consistency score
• App preferences (sound, theme, snooze duration)
• Optional sleep data you choose to share via HealthKit
• Photos taken to complete Sky Photo and Object Hunt missions — processed on-device and discarded after the mission completes

Sent to our servers in Phase 1

• Nothing personally identifying.
• Crash reports via Apple’s built-in crash reporting only (if you have shared analytics enabled at the OS level). We never see your name, email, or device identifier.
• Aggregated, anonymous usage event counts (e.g. “mission completed”) only if you opt in. No event includes the content of your alarms or photos.

Received by Apple, not by us

• Standard StoreKit subscription data — handled per Apple’s privacy policy, not ours.

2. What we don’t collect

We do not collect, sell, or share any of the following, in Phase 1 or otherwise:

• Your location
• Your contacts
• Advertising identifiers (IDFA) or any cross-app tracker
• Third-party SDK telemetry (no Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, or similar)
• Behavioral profiles for advertising
• Data resale to data brokers, ad networks, or anyone else

3. Camera and microphone access

We ask for camera access so the Sky Photo and Object Hunt missions can verify you completed them. The image is analyzed on your device using Apple’s Vision framework and is never uploaded to our servers.

We ask for microphone access only if you enable the future voice mission (not active in Phase 1). When enabled, audio is processed on-device and not uploaded.

4. Health data (HealthKit)

HealthKit access is optional. If you grant permission, Ryli reads sleep data (read-only) to improve mission scheduling. Health data never leaves your device, is never sold, and is never used for advertising. You can revoke access anytime in iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices.

5. Notifications

Ryli uses iOS local notifications only. We do not operate a push notification server in Phase 1, which means no notification we send leaves your device or routes through our infrastructure.

6. Sign in with Apple

If you subscribe, you may optionally sign in with Apple to save your subscription across your Apple devices. We receive only the anonymized identifier Apple provides. If you choose “Hide My Email,” your real email never reaches us — Apple relays messages instead.

7. Children

Ryli is not directed to anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used Ryli and provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, and delete your data. Because almost all Ryli data lives on your device:

• Access: Open the app to view everything we store about you. There is no separate copy on our servers.
• Correct: Edit alarms, missions, and settings directly in the app.
• Delete: Delete the app to remove local data. If you signed in with Apple, use the in-app Delete account flow.

9. Data deletion

Full instructions, including a web-based request fallback, are on the Delete account page. We process web deletion requests within 7 business days.

10. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we’ll show an in-app banner before the changes take effect and update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Older versions are available on request.
