This policy explains how the Rise Intention iPhone app ("Rise Intention", "we", "us") handles information. Rise Intention is built by Pidugu, an independent software studio, and is distributed through the Apple App Store.
The short version: Rise Intention does not collect your personal information. There are no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. Your settings live on your device, and the app works fully offline once installed.
Information we collect
We designed Rise Intention to need as little as possible. We do not collect, store, or sell any personal information about you.
Stored on your device only — never sent to us
- Your chosen moods, topics, and theme.
- Quotes you've saved (favorites) and the ones you've already read.
- Your reminder time and daily streak.
This information is kept in your device's local storage (and, for the widget, in a private on-device container shared only between Rise Intention and its own widget). It never leaves your iPhone and we cannot see it.
The quote library
Rise Intention downloads its collection of quotes from our server as a simple, one-way download — like loading a web page. We do not send any information about you when this happens. As with any normal internet request, our hosting provider may briefly process the standard technical details of the connection (such as an IP address) to deliver the file; we do not use this to identify, profile, or track you, and the app ships with a built-in set of quotes so it works even with no connection at all.
Notifications
If you turn on daily reminders, they are scheduled locally on your device by iOS. We do not run a server that sends you push notifications, and we receive nothing when a reminder fires.
Purchases
Rise Intention Premium is sold through Apple's in-app purchase system. Apple handles the entire transaction — we never see your name, card, or billing details. To unlock Premium, the app checks a purchase receipt issued by Apple, which confirms the purchase without identifying you personally.
Photos
When you tap Share on a quote, Rise Intention creates an image and can save it to your photo library — but only the image you chose to share, and only after you grant permission. We never read, scan, or upload your existing photos.
Analytics & tracking
There are none. Rise Intention contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising, no third-party trackers, and no device identifiers used for tracking. We do not build a profile of you across apps or websites.
Third parties
We rely on a small number of services to run the app, none of which receive personal information about you:
- Apple — App Store distribution and in-app purchase processing.
- Our hosting provider — serves the static quote file the app downloads.
We do not share information with advertisers, data brokers, or cross-app analytics services, because we don't collect it in the first place.
Children's privacy
Rise Intention is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. If you have any concern, please contact us.
Your rights
Because we don't collect personal information that can identify you, there is nothing for us to look up, export, correct, or delete on your behalf. Everything you create in the app stays on your device, and you can remove it at any time by deleting the app. If you believe we hold personal information about you and wish to exercise rights under the GDPR, CCPA, or another privacy law, email us and we'll respond promptly.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we'll post the new version here and change the effective date above. We won't reduce the protections described here without making the change clear.
