Effective September 24, 2026
The short version
Rise & Recite does not collect, store, or share your personal information. There are no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. Your alarms, verses, streaks, and progress live only on your phone.
What stays on your phone
Your alarm times, the verses and packs you choose, your streaks, sunbeams, grace days, and memorization progress are saved in the app’s storage on your device. We never receive a copy. Deleting the app deletes all of it.
Microphone and speech
To turn off the alarm, you read the verse out loud. The app uses your phone’s built-in speech recognition to turn what you say into words and check them against the verse.
- We never record, save, or upload your voice. Rise & Recite has no servers that receive audio or text.
- When your phone supports it, recognition runs entirely on the device.
- On some phones the built-in speech service is provided by the phone’s maker (Google on Android, Apple on iPhone) and may process the audio under that company’s own privacy policy. That processing is done by your phone’s system service, not by us.
- The microphone is only on while the reading screen is listening. You can turn microphone access off in your phone’s settings at any time.
Notifications and alarms
The app asks permission to show notifications, set exact alarms, and show the alarm full screen so it can wake you. Optional reminders (for example, when no alarm is set for tomorrow) are scheduled on your phone and can be turned off in the app’s Settings. Nothing about them is sent anywhere.
App updates
The app checks for new versions of its own content so fixes can arrive without a store download. That check tells the update service which version of the app is installed. It contains no personal information and nothing about how you use the app.
Sharing
If you tap a share button, your phone’s share sheet opens and you choose where the message goes. We do not see what you share or who you share it with.
Children
Rise & Recite is suitable for families. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.
Scripture text
Verses come from the Berean Standard Bible, which is in the public domain, and are bundled inside the app so it works offline.
Changes to this policy
If a future version adds anything that collects information, such as an optional email newsletter, it will ask you first, and this policy will be updated before that version is released. The effective date above will change.
