Oryva Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective: July 25, 2026
GDPR & Android Policy Compliant
TL;DR — The short version

What happens on your device, stays on your device. Oryva's core features run entirely locally. We don't sell your data, we don't read your messages, and we use only the minimum permissions necessary to block distractions. This policy details the full picture.

1 How We Use Sensitive Android Permissions

To deliver features like distraction blocking and safe browsing, Oryva requires certain system-level permissions. We are fully transparent about why each one is needed and how it is used.

Accessibility Service API

Why we need it: To detect when you open distracting content (short-form videos, Reels, blocked apps) and overlay a block screen.

Data Privacy: Used strictly to read package names of active apps and identify specific content feeds. We do not read private messages, capture passwords, or extract personal info. All processing happens locally on your device.

Usage Access

Why we need it: To track your focus time, display daily device usage, and calculate the growth of your recovery garden.

Data Privacy: Usage stats are stored locally on your device to power your personal progress dashboard.

2 Information We Collect

If you create an account or subscribe to Oryva Pro, we collect only the minimum information necessary:

  • Account Information: Your name, email address (for profile syncing across devices), and profile picture if provided.
  • Guardian Mode: If enabled, we may store the email address of your accountability partner to facilitate approval requests for settings changes.
  • Crash Reports & Analytics (Optional): Anonymized crash logs to help us fix bugs. This data contains no personally identifiable information and can be disabled in your settings.
3 Data Storage and Security

The majority of your data — including your block lists, daily schedules, and usage statistics — is stored locally on your device. Any account-related data synced to our servers is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard security protocols (TLS 1.3, AES-256).

4 Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third-party marketers or advertisers. We use only essential, trusted infrastructure partners:

  • Payment processing for Oryva Pro, managed securely by Google Play Billing.
  • Secure cloud hosting for account authentication.
5 Your Rights and Controls

You are always in control of your data and recovery settings. At any time you can:

  • Revoke any system permission directly from your Android Device Settings.
  • Request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us or navigating to the Account section within the app.
6 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Oryva grows. If we make significant changes — particularly regarding how sensitive permissions are handled — we will notify you via an in-app alert or email before the changes take effect.
