Rise&Go ("the app") is an iPhone alarm app published by ObiTech ("we", "us"), based in Belgium. Contact: hello@obitech.eu.
We built Rise&Go so that your data stays on your iPhone. There is no Rise&Go account and no Rise&Go server. This policy explains what the app uses, why, and who else is involved.
1. Summary
- Your calendar is read on your iPhone to set your alarms. We never receive it.
- Your home address, saved addresses and event locations are sent to Apple Maps to calculate travel time.
- Purchases are handled entirely by Apple.
- In the free version, Google AdMob shows ads and may collect device data, with your consent where the law requires it. Premium has no ads.
- We have no analytics, no tracking of our own, and no access to your data.
2. Data the app uses on your device
| Data | Why | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Calendar events (title, time, location, calendar name and colour) | To find your first event of each day and set the alarm. To show your week and let you create or edit events. | Read on your iPhone through Apple's calendar framework (EventKit). Never sent to us. |
| Home address and saved addresses | Starting point for travel time | Stored on your iPhone (app settings). |
| Routine steps, margin, snooze, transport and per-day choices | To calculate your wake-up time | Stored on your iPhone. |
| Last travel times | So alarms don't change on every launch | Stored on your iPhone. |
| Next morning's plan (event title, times, travel mode) | For the widgets and the Live Activity (Premium) | Shared on your iPhone with the Rise&Go widgets. Event titles may appear on your Lock Screen if you add the widgets. |
| Alarms and notifications | To ring and to remind you to leave | Scheduled with iOS (AlarmKit and local notifications). |
Deleting the app deletes this data. Calendar data stays in your calendars, which Rise&Go doesn't own.
Permissions (calendar, alarms, notifications, tracking) are asked by iOS. You can change them any time in iOS Settings › Apps › Rise&Go.
3. Third parties
Apple Maps (Apple Inc.)
To calculate travel time, the app sends the starting address, the event location, the arrival time and the transport mode to Apple Maps. When you type an address, the text is sent to Apple Maps to suggest matching addresses. Apple processes this data under its own privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/. Travel time is also checked in the background about an hour before an alarm (Premium).
Apple App Store (Apple Inc.)
Subscriptions are bought, renewed, cancelled and refunded through your Apple Account. We don't receive your name, email or payment details. The app only checks with Apple whether a subscription is active. The App Store may ask you to rate the app.
Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited), free version only
The free version shows one native ad in the Alarms and Calendar lists, provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect: - device and app information (model, iOS version, language, app version), - your IP address and approximate location derived from it, - ad interactions (views, taps), - the advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking when iOS asks ("Allow Rise&Go to track your activity…"). If you don't, ads are not personalised with it.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, a Google consent form (User Messaging Platform, IAB TCF) asks for your choices before any personalised ads. You can change them any time in Rise&Go › Settings › Privacy Choices.
Your calendar, addresses and routine are never shared with Google or any ad network.
Google's policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and how Google uses data from partner apps: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Premium removes ads, and the consent form and tracking prompt are no longer shown.
4. What we (ObiTech) collect
Nothing through the app. We have no server and no analytics. If you email us, we use your email and message only to answer you, and delete them when no longer needed (at most [24 months]).
5. Legal bases (GDPR)
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): the app's features you ask for (alarms, travel time, Premium).
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): personalised ads and tracking (Google consent form and iOS tracking prompt). You can withdraw consent any time in Privacy Choices or iOS Settings.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): non-personalised ads in the free version, answering support emails.
6. International transfers
Apple and Google may process data outside the EU, under the safeguards they describe (EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses).
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Because the app's data stays on your iPhone, you control most of it directly (edit it in the app or delete the app). For data held by Apple or Google, contact them or use their privacy tools. For anything else: hello@obitech.eu.
You can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Autorité de protection des données / Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit), Rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels, https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be, or the authority in your country.
8. Children
Rise&Go is not directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from children.
