HushTempoWho the app is for
HushTempo is intended for adults at least 18 years old, or the higher age required where they live. It asks you to declare your eligibility. It does not collect a birth date or verify identity. A tap, shared cue, or device reading cannot establish consent to intimacy.
Information saved on your devices
When you choose to save a moment, HushTempo records its identifier, start time, active duration, whether it was connection or breathing practice, and any optional comfort and connection reflections you provide on a 1–5 scale. Preferences and unfinished session state are also stored locally. Only record what you want to keep.
Journal files use operating-system file protection and are excluded from device backup. Use a device passcode. The iPhone journal's device-authentication viewing lock is enabled by default; the Watch relies on its passcode and Wrist Detection. The viewing lock does not replace the device's own security protections.
HushTempo is not a backup service. Losing a device or uninstalling the app can erase local records. There is no developer copy to recover.
Optional Apple Health access
On Watch, you can explicitly request the latest available heart-rate sample from the last ten minutes. Apple controls Health access. HushTempo temporarily displays the reading and its timestamp; it does not save the sample in the journal, transmit it to iPhone, sell it, or use it for advertising. It does not write to Apple Health or create workouts.
Denied access, missing data, or an old sample does not prevent timing, breathing practice, or journaling. Change Health access through Apple's system settings.
Sending an entry to your own iPhone
A selected Watch entry is sent only when you request it, your paired iPhone is reachable, and receiving is enabled in HushTempo on that phone. The iPhone confirms after saving. The transferred entry contains the journal fields described above, never heart-rate samples. Completed sessions are not automatically sent.
Each device keeps an independent copy. Sending the same entry again does not create a duplicate on the phone. Delete each device's copy separately.
Shared cue and optional Watch proximity
You can create and share a five-minute invitation with a nearby partner. It contains a random room identifier and secret; anyone you forward it to may use it while valid. The app holds the invitation in memory, while the sharing service you choose may retain its own copy. Local Network access supports encrypted discovery and connection between the two phones. No developer server is involved.
The connection exchanges readiness, cue timing, and cancellation. Each optional Watch connects through its own paired iPhone. If you enable wrist proximity, temporary Nearby Interaction tokens and a nearby/not-nearby signal also pass over that connection. They do not enter the journal. Journal entries, reflections, pulse readings, names, and GPS coordinates are not sent in these partner-control messages.
Leaving the connected flow clears readiness. The app does not automatically reconnect in the background. Either participant can cancel; proximity and readiness do not establish consent.
Cards you choose to share
The native share sheet exports a generic conversation card that you preview. It contains the chosen prompt and HushTempo branding. It has no session details, ratings, partner identity, dates, or Health readings. The recipient and service you choose handle the exported card under their own policies. HushTempo does not initiate a share automatically.
Optional spoken cues
Sound personalities are off by default. If enabled, the device synthesizes short fixed phrases when a session changes state or you request a preview. Your journal, ratings, timing, and Health data are never spoken. HushTempo does not request microphone access, record audio, use speech recognition, or send speech to a cloud service.
People nearby or on the current audio route may hear spoken cues. Preview discreetly and use Mute voice whenever you want. The voices are synthesized, not recordings of you or your partner.
What the developer receives
The app includes no developer backend, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, contact upload, location collection, or intimate-media capture. Sun Ryse does not receive your journal or Health data through the app. Apple's platform diagnostics and the services you choose for sharing are governed by their own settings and policies.
If you contact support by email, we receive what you choose to send, including your email address and message. We use that information to respond, troubleshoot, maintain necessary business records, and meet legal obligations. Please do not send intimate records, Health screenshots, passwords, or invitation secrets. Email providers may process the message to deliver the support service.
This website and external links
This support website does not connect to your HushTempo journal. It has no account area, payment form, advertising, or analytics script. Our hosting and security providers may process ordinary technical request data, such as an IP address, browser information, requested page, and request time, to deliver and protect the website.
Research links in HushTempo open external publishers' websites. Visiting those optional links may disclose ordinary browser and network information to those sites under their own policies. The Sun Ryse company website has its own website privacy policy.
Retention and deletion
Local entries remain until you delete them on each device or remove the app. You can delete individual entries or all local history. A failed save or deletion reports an error and retains the prior saved state. If saving a paused or ended session fails, its stopped draft remains in memory while the app is open and may be lost when the app closes.
We retain voluntary support messages only as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information or use journal or Health data for advertising or model training.
Your choices and privacy requests
You control local recording, optional ratings, Health access, sound, sharing, and deletion. There is no remote HushTempo account to delete. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you sent us through support, contact the address below. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights and a right to raise a concern with your local data-protection authority. We may need enough information to identify your support request before fulfilling it; do not send unnecessary sensitive documents.
Policy updates
We may update this policy when the product or its data practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes to app collection practices will be reflected in the app and its App Store privacy information.
