RYZA privacy policy
Effective date: October 13, 2026. This policy applies to the RYZA app published by JHOOX LLC.
Overview
RYZA is an alarm app that helps users set alarms, play alarm sounds, browse motivational quotes, and optionally dismiss alarms by reading a quote aloud.
RYZA is designed to work without account registration. Most core app data is stored locally on your device.
Information we handle
- Alarm data such as alarm times, repeat rules, quote selections, alarm sounds, and voice-dismiss settings
- App preferences such as language, theme, vibration, and related alarm behaviour settings
- Favourite quote IDs and local alarm history summaries stored on your device
- Cached premium subscription status stored on your device
- Microphone input used while the voice-dismiss feature is active
- Store-provided purchase and verification data needed to confirm premium entitlement
- Diagnostic and crash information processed through Firebase Crashlytics
How we use information
- Scheduling, playing, and managing alarms
- Enabling voice-based alarm dismissal
- Saving alarms, favourites, history, and app preferences on your device
- Restoring or validating premium purchase status
- Monitoring crashes, diagnosing failures, and improving app reliability
Local device storage
RYZA stores most app data locally on your device. This may include alarm configurations, favourite quotes, alarm history summaries, app settings, and cached subscription status.
RYZA does not currently provide cloud sync for this local data.
Microphone and speech recognition
If you use voice-dismiss alarms, RYZA requests microphone access so it can listen for your spoken quote and compare recognised words against the expected quote text.
RYZA does not intentionally store raw voice recordings on its own servers. Speech recognition may be handled by your device, operating system, or platform provider under their own policies.
Permissions
- Microphone: to support voice-dismiss alarms
- Notifications: to display alarm-related notifications
- Exact alarm access on Android: to schedule alarms as reliably as the platform allows
Purchases and subscriptions
If premium purchases are enabled, subscriptions are processed by the relevant app store.
RYZA may process product identifiers, platform details, and store-provided purchase verification data needed to validate premium entitlement. Payment card details are handled by the app store, not directly by RYZA.
If remote purchase verification is enabled for release builds, purchase verification data may be sent securely to a backend verification service over HTTPS.
Advertising and privacy choices
Versions of RYZA with advertising enabled use Google Mobile Ads to offer optional rewarded ads for an additional voice-mission use. Completing an ad grants one use for the alarm being configured; rewards do not accumulate. Versions with advertising disabled do not initialize the advertising SDK or request ads.
Google Mobile Ads may collect and share IP-derived general location, app and ad interactions, diagnostic and performance information, advertising data, and device or account identifiers for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. This data is encrypted in transit. Advertising identifiers depend on your platform settings and applicable consent choices.
On iOS, RYZA requests non-personalized ads, disables the advertising SDK's publisher first-party ID, and does not request permission for cross-app tracking or use IDFA for advertising. Regional advertising consent messages may still appear where required.
Where required, Google's User Messaging Platform requests and manages advertising privacy choices before ads are requested. You can review or change these choices in RYZA settings when the advertising privacy option is available. RYZA does not include alarm quotes, custom mission text, recognized speech, or raw microphone content in advertising requests.
Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Crash reporting and diagnostics
RYZA includes Firebase Crashlytics for crash and stability monitoring. Crash reports may include app version, device and operating system details, crash traces, and limited diagnostic context related to app failures.
Data sharing
Advertising data sharing and the choices available to you are described above.
Data is only shared with third parties as needed to operate app features, such as app store billing systems, speech recognition services, Firebase Crashlytics, secure backend purchase verification services when enabled, and Google Mobile Ads when advertising is enabled.
Your choices
- Decline microphone permission, though voice-dismiss alarms may not work
- Change or delete alarms, favourites, and app settings inside the app
- Delete the app to remove locally stored app data from your device
- Manage subscriptions through your device's app store account settings
- Review advertising privacy choices in RYZA settings when available
- Use your device's advertising and privacy controls
