Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026

Tinyrise is a habit tracker for iPhone. You record habits, check-ins and moods, and you can ask Rise, an AI assistant, for help. This policy explains what information the app handles, where it is sent and how long it is kept. “We” means the developer of Tinyrise, an individual developer.

In short

• Your habits, check-ins, moods, notes and journal lines are stored on your iPhone. We do not receive, back up or sync them.
• Signing in creates an account on your iPhone. In the current version, sign-in details are not sent to us.
• Rise is optional. Only after you agree to its consent screen, and only when you send Rise a message, the app sends your messages and, unless you turn it off, a summary of your habits to our server. Our server uses DeepSeek to write the answer.
• No advertising, no tracking across other companies’ apps or websites, and no sale of data.

Data kept on your device

Each account has its own private database in the app’s storage on your iPhone. It holds your habits (name, emoji, color, type, goal, schedule, reminder time and your “why”), check-ins, skips, notes, mood check-ins and journal lines, weekly reviews, your conversation with Rise (including small thumbnails of photos you attached) and a record of habits Rise added so they can be undone. Several people can use separate accounts on one device, and each account sees only its own data.

The app also stores the following in its settings on your iPhone:

• your account profile: an account id, nickname, sign-in method, join date and, where available, an email address;
• for email accounts, the email address and a salted hash of your password (never the password itself);
• which account is signed in;
• your preferences: week start day, the reminders switch, and for each account your Rise consent, the “Share my logs with Rise” setting and whether you have seen the Rise tour.

Signing in

You can choose Apple, Google or email on the welcome screen. In the current version of the app, all three create or open an account that exists only on your iPhone: the app does not send your sign-in details to us, and it does not receive your name or email address from Apple or Google. Email accounts are checked on the device against the stored password hash. We do not run an account server.

Rise, the AI assistant

Rise is optional, and the rest of the app works without it. Before your first message on each account, the app shows a consent screen explaining what is sent and that DeepSeek, a third-party AI provider, processes it. Nothing is sent to Rise unless you tap “Agree & continue”. After that, each time you send Rise a message (including one-tap commands and mood replies), the app sends the following to our server over the internet:

• the most recent messages of your current Rise conversation (up to 16, including Rise’s replies);
• unless you turn off “Share my logs with Rise”, a short summary of your data: week start day, today’s progress, each habit’s name, emoji, type, goal, unit, schedule, time of day, start, completion rates, streaks, the last 14 days of check-ins and a short excerpt of your “why”; names of archived habits; completion by time of day and by week; a count and average of your mood scores and completion by mood; and a short excerpt of your latest weekly review. Your notes and mood journal text are not included;
• for a photo you attach, the text and image labels that Apple’s Vision framework recognized on your iPhone. The photo itself is never sent;
• your on-device account id, which our server uses to apply a daily message limit.

Our server forwards the conversation, summary and photo text to DeepSeek, which acts as our processor to generate Rise’s answer. DeepSeek processes this data on its servers under its own terms. Our server returns the answer to the app and does not save your messages, summary or Rise’s answers to a database.

Charts and numbers in Rise’s dashboards are calculated on your iPhone. Habits Rise suggests are saved in the app on your device, and you can undo them.

In Me › AI & Privacy you can turn off “Share my logs with Rise” (then only your messages and any photo text are sent), see the provider’s name and your consent status, and withdraw consent. After you withdraw, nothing is sent until you agree again. Withdrawing consent does not delete your conversation on the device; “Fresh page” in Notes with Rise clears it.

Photos and permissions

You can attach a photo to a Rise message using the iOS photo picker. The picker gives the app only the photo you choose, so the app does not ask for access to your photo library, and it does not use the camera. The photo is read on your iPhone; only the recognized text and labels are sent, as described above. A small thumbnail is kept with your conversation on your device.

Notifications

If you turn on a reminder for a habit, the app asks for permission to send notifications. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone by iOS and show the habit’s name, emoji and your “why”. They are not sent through our server. Signing out, deleting your account or turning off Me › Reminders cancels them.

What we don’t do

• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No analytics or tracking across other companies’ apps or websites, and no sharing with data brokers.
• We don’t sell your data.
• Your habit data is not uploaded to us. Only the Rise requests described above leave your device.

Our server and providers

Like any online service, our server and its hosting and network providers receive your IP address when the app connects to Rise. Our server keeps a count of each account’s Rise messages per day in memory to enforce the daily limit. Its technical logs may record the start of your account id, response times, errors and, if DeepSeek returns an answer the app can’t read, the beginning of that answer. Rise’s answers are generated by DeepSeek.

International processing

Rise requests are processed by our server and by DeepSeek, which may be located in countries other than yours, including China. Data protection laws there may differ from those where you live. By using Rise after giving consent, you understand that your Rise requests are processed there.

How long data is kept

• On your device: until you delete it, delete the account in the app, or delete the app.
• Rise requests: our server does not keep them after the answer is returned.
• Daily message counts: held only in our server’s memory and not written to a database.
• Server logs: kept only as long as needed to run and fix the service.
• Data processed by DeepSeek: under DeepSeek’s own policies.

Deleting your data

Me › Account › Delete account removes from this iPhone the account and its database (habits, check-ins, moods, notes, reviews and your Rise conversation) and cancels pending reminders. You can also delete individual habits, clear Rise’s conversation with “Fresh page”, or delete the app to remove everything it stored. See Account deletion.

Your choices and rights

You can view, edit and delete your data in the app at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal information. Because your data is kept on your device, most requests can be handled in the app. For anything else, email nguyenhongto9653@icloud.com.

Children

Tinyrise is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy as the app changes. The effective date at the top shows when it was last updated.
