Our Approach to Privacy

Risenow was built for men dealing with something deeply personal. The anonymity is not incidental — it is the reason many men feel safe enough to start. We designed every part of this platform around that reality.

This policy applies to risenowrecovery.com, the Risenow app, and all associated services. It tells you plainly what information we collect, how it is used, and what your rights are.

"We built this so a man can use Risenow for six months, post regularly in the community, and never once reveal who he actually is. That is intentional and it will not change."

What We Do With What We Collect

The data we collect is used exclusively to operate and improve Risenow. We do not sell data. We do not share data with advertisers. We do not use your information to build a profile of you as an individual.

Community posts

Posts made in the Risenow community are visible to other community members under your chosen username. They are not indexed by search engines. They are not shared with third parties. They remain associated with your username unless you choose to delete them.

Email address (coaching client or book buyers)

Your email address is used by Stripe to process and manage your coaching or purchase. We receive confirmation of your coaching or purchase status from Stripe but do not receive your full card details. Your email is never connected to your community username and is never visible to other users.

If you opt in to our newsletter separately, your email is stored in ConvertKit and used only to send the content you subscribed to. You can unsubscribe at any time from any email we send.

Analytics

We use anonymised aggregate data to understand which features are used most, where men tend to drop off, and how to improve the experience. This data cannot be traced to an individual user.

Cookies and Tracking

The risenowrecovery.com website uses a minimal number of cookies necessary for the site to function — session management and security. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies.

The website does not use your browser session only to track personal behaviour. Assessment results are processed in your browser session only and are not stored after you close the page.

07

Users Under 18

Risenow Recovery is designed for adult users. The risenowrecovery.com website, WhatsApp community, and coaching service are intended for men aged 18 and over.

The book series available on Gumroad is written for adult men. The books contain mature themes related to pornography use and recovery and are not intended for readers under 18.

If you believe a user under 18 has joined the WhatsApp community, please contact us and we will remove them promptly.

08

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we update the effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes we will notify community members via a post in the community before the change takes effect.

Continued use of Risenow after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
