Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026 · InneRISE is made by Shortbus Design Group, LLC ("we", "us")

1. Your account

You sign in with Apple, or with your email address and a one-time code. Some accounts have no sign-in method yet, for example ones made with earlier test versions. They work the same way, and you can add Apple or email sign-in to them.

• Sign in with Apple: Apple gives us an ID for your account and, if Apple shares it, your email address. That may be a private relay address that forwards to you. If you share your name, InneRISE keeps your first name on your phone.
• Email sign-in: we store your email address and email you sign-in codes.
• Your first name is shared with the people you choose to involve when you use My Anchor, Connections, Challenges or Family Protection.

We use your account to keep those features working, including when you move to a new phone.

2. Screen Time, and what stays on your phone

InneRISE uses Apple's Screen Time for app limits, Night Mode, bedtime, lockouts and Family Protection. Apple keeps this information on your phone. InneRISE only sees Apple's private stand-ins for the apps you pick, never their names, and the screen time totals shown in the app are drawn by Apple on your phone. Two results based on Screen Time do leave your phone:

• In a verified challenge, whether you met each day's goal (kept or missed). People in that challenge can see it.
• On a child's phone with Family Protection, whether its protections are on and working (see section 5).

These stay only on your phone, and in your own iPhone backups if you have backups turned on. They don't move to a new phone when you sign in there.

• Goals, streaks, badges and reminders.
• Inspiration: notes, links, photos, videos and voice notes, and your music lineups.
• Morning Rise alarms, Night Mode notes and priorities, your intention and the good things you write down.
• Scroll Guard and Content Guard settings. Content Guard uses Apple's website filter on your phone and doesn't read the pages you visit.
• Your profile photo.
• Your Anchor's unlock code, stored only in scrambled (hashed) form.

InneRISE asks for these permissions only when a feature needs them:

Contacts need no permission: Apple's contact picker gives InneRISE only the one contact you choose.

3. What our server stores

We also keep simple counts of actions, such as how many invitations you sent today, to prevent abuse.

4. Contacts and phone numbers

• Adding your phone number is optional. Our server turns it into a fingerprint with a secret key and stores only that fingerprint and the last two digits, not the number. People who have your number can then find you, unless you turn off "People who have my number can find me". You can remove your number at any time.
• Finding someone: when you pick a contact, InneRISE sends that contact's phone numbers and a scrambled (hashed) form of their email addresses, to check whether they use InneRISE. Nothing about the contact is stored, and your address book is never uploaded.
• Being found by email: someone who has your email address in a contact can find your Connections profile (your first name) and invite you.

5. Family Protection and children

Family Protection lets a parent or guardian set limits on a child's iPhone. The parent sets it up on the child's phone, using Apple Family Sharing and a parent passcode. For a child's account we store:

• the child's email address, entered by the parent, which the child uses to sign in;
• the child's first name, if the parent adds one;
• the phone's model (for example "iPhone 16") and a name the parent gives it;
• regular check-ins: whether Screen Time permission, child mode, Family Sharing, the passcode and the limits are on and working, plus the app version and the time of the last check-in;
• the limits the parent sets (daily minutes, bedtime and school hours) and extra time a parent approves;
• requests for more time, parent approvals of a new sign-in, and a record when protection is switched off.

We never receive which apps a child uses or for how long, the websites they visit, or their location. When a parent resets the child's settings passcode from their own phone, the new passcode is locked so only the child's phone can open it. Our server holds only that locked version until it's used, and can't read it.

The child's linked parents can see this information. If a child's account is deleted, they see that it was deleted, with the child's name, until they dismiss it. If a child uses Connections or Challenges, sections 3 and 4 apply to them too.

InneRISE is meant for adults, and for children whose parent or guardian sets it up with Family Protection. We don't knowingly let a child under 13 create an account any other way. If you believe one has, contact us and we'll delete it.

6. Notifications

Alerts about Anchor requests, connections and family are delivered by Apple's push notification service. Their text can include first names and messages, for example "Sam asks to unlock". Reminders and alarms are scheduled on your phone.

7. Subscriptions and payments

Purchases are made through Apple. We never see your card or payment details. Apple sends us a signed record of each purchase, which we check and store with your account (section 3) so your plan works. We include your InneRISE account ID with the purchase so Apple's record and your account match. You can manage or cancel a subscription in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

8. Services InneRISE uses

• Supabase runs our server and database. It may keep short-term technical logs, such as IP addresses, as part of running the service.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple, push notifications, App Store purchases, Screen Time and Apple Music.
• An email delivery service sends sign-in codes and receives your email address to do so.
• Links and music you add: link previews, YouTube thumbnails, Apple Music search and players from YouTube, Instagram, Spotify or SoundCloud connect your phone directly to those services. They have their own privacy policies.
• Messages and Mail: invitations and "Share my week" open Messages, Mail or the share sheet. You choose who receives them, and we don't get a copy.

We share your information only as described here, or when the law requires it.

9. What we don't do

• We don't sell or rent your information.
• We don't use advertising, analytics or tracking tools, or work with data brokers.
• We don't use Screen Time information for marketing or advertising.

10. How long we keep it, and deleting your account

We keep your information while your account is open. Anchor invitation codes and Family Protection link codes stop working after an hour, and a passcode reset is held for up to 24 hours.

To delete your account: Protection → Account → Delete Account. If you use Sign in with Apple, you confirm with Apple, and we revoke InneRISE's Sign in with Apple access. Choose Delete Account to keep what's on your phone (goals, Inspiration, alarms), or Delete Account & Local Data to erase those too. Screen Time limits and Family Protection on the phone stay in place either way. On a child's phone, deleting needs the parent passcode.

Deleting removes your account and the information tied to it from our server, except what other people still need:

• unlock requests you answered for someone else stay in their history, shown as "A former Anchor";
• groups and challenges you created pass to another member, with their names, titles and prizes;
• other people's inbox messages keep their text, with your name replaced by "A former member";
• a child's linked parents see that the account was deleted, as described in section 5;
• purchase records stay, no longer linked to you.

Deleting the app alone doesn't delete your account. Your sign-in stays in the iPhone's Keychain so you can get back in.

11. Security

• Connections between the app and our server are encrypted.
• Access rules on our database limit each person to what's described in this policy.
• Sign-in keys are kept in the iPhone's Keychain.
• Unlock codes and settings passcodes are stored only in hashed form, phone numbers only as fingerprints, and passcode resets locked for the child's phone.

12. Your choices and rights

• Change your name, your phone number and whether people can find you by it in the app.
• Turn off notifications or Screen Time access at any time in iPhone Settings.
• Delete your account in the app (section 10).
• Email us to ask for a copy of what our server holds about you, or to correct or delete it. We'll reply within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, and you can use them the same way.

13. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top and describe important changes in the app's release notes.
