Privacy Policy

RISR is designed with privacy at its core. We do not collect personal data, track your usage, or require an account. Everything you create stays on your device.

• No analytics or usage tracking
• No crash reporting or diagnostics
• No personal information or user profiles
• No cloud storage or remote synchronization
• No cookies on risr.app beyond essential functionality

RISR requests the following permissions, all of which are processed entirely on your device:

Motion Sensors

RISR uses your device's accelerometer and gyroscope to translate physical gestures into MIDI control data. This data is processed locally and never leaves your device except when sent to your own DAW via a local connection.

Microphone

When enabled, RISR uses microphone input for voice-to-MIDI pitch detection. Audio is processed in real-time on your device and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted to any server.

Local Network

RISR uses Bonjour (mDNS) to discover RISR Link on your Mac or PC over your local network. Network MIDI data travels only between your devices on the same network. No data is sent to external servers.

The RISR Apple Watch app uses motion sensors to provide wrist-based gesture control. Motion data is sent directly from the Watch to your iPhone via Apple's encrypted WatchConnectivity protocol.

RISR uses HealthKit solely to maintain a workout session, which prevents watchOS from suspending the app during extended use. RISR does not read, collect, or store any health or fitness data.

RISR Link for Mac and Windows connects your iPhone to your DAW. All communication occurs over your local network or USB — no data is sent to external servers.

The Mac version of RISR Link uses the Sparkle framework to check for application updates. This sends a standard HTTP request to risr.app containing your app version and basic system information (macOS version). No personally identifiable information is transmitted.

All projects, presets, calibration data, and settings are stored locally on your device in the app's Documents directory. We have no access to your projects. You control how and whether to share them.

The risr.app website does not use cookies for tracking. We do not run third-party analytics, advertising scripts, or social media trackers.

RISR does not knowingly collect any information from children. The app does not require or collect personal information from any user.

If we update this policy, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated date. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot notify you directly — please check back periodically.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, please reach out via our support page.
