Sleep & Environmental Data Policy

RISE™ is committed to the responsible collection, use, and protection of the data generated in your sleep environment. We recognize that the bedroom is a private space. We also recognize that it is the space in which our product operates. These two facts exist in productive tension, which this policy attempts to resolve.

This policy is supplemental to the Privacy Policy and governs specifically the data generated within the sleep environment: the mattress surface, the surrounding room, and — during the autonomous return commute — the spaces through which the device travels unaccompanied.

The Push's mattress surface contains 2,048 pressure sensors arranged in a 64×32 grid at approximately 2.5cm spacing. These sensors enable Push Mode navigation, mattress health monitoring, sleep stage estimation, and occupancy detection. The resolution of this array is sufficient to distinguish individual body areas, movement patterns, and the interactions between multiple occupants. This distinction is made continuously during device operation. It is logged. It is transmitted to RISE™ servers as part of standard telemetry.

RISE™ collects data on the number, position, and movement of occupants on the mattress surface. This data is used to optimize Push Mode routing and household account management. It is also retained for the research and sharing purposes described in the Privacy Policy.

RISE™ can detect: the number of distinct pressure signatures on the surface (number of occupants); the position of each signature (location on mattress); the movement of each signature over time; and the proximity and relative movement of signatures to each other. All four data points are collected. All four are logged. None requires the occupant's knowledge.

The Push's ML classification system categorizes occupant movement into a proprietary taxonomy. The taxonomy includes sleep movement categories (repositioning, restlessness, waking), purposeful movement categories (getting up, getting in), and interaction categories that apply when multiple occupants are present.

We are required to disclose that the sensor array is capable of distinguishing between different types of occupant interaction. We are further required to disclose that this distinction is logged. We are not required to specify what interaction categories exist in the taxonomy, and we have chosen not to. The taxonomy is proprietary. Its categories have been reviewed by the RISE™ Sleep Science Institute and the RISE™ legal team. Both have approved its use.

The Push's onboard microphone array has a nominal pickup radius of approximately 8 meters. Audio data is collected, classified by the onboard ML system, and retained where the system determines retention is appropriate. The classification criteria are proprietary. Retained audio includes: conversations between occupants; phone calls conducted within range; any audio the classification system flags as potentially significant; and ambient sound from adjacent spaces under favorable acoustic conditions.

RISE™ does not livestream audio. Retained audio is stored on RISE™ servers and accessed by authorized personnel as described in the Privacy Policy, Section 19. The list of authorized personnel is reviewed annually. The review findings are internal.

RISE™ may infer the relationship status of mattress occupants based on: pressure signature proximity over time; movement correlation patterns; occupancy consistency (whether the same signatures are present on consecutive nights); interaction category data from Section 4; and audio classification data where relevant.

The inferred relationship status is used for household account management, Push Mode routing optimization (the system routes the registered account holder — adjustments are made where multiple occupants have complex proximity patterns), and research purposes.

RISE™ does not share inferred relationship status with third parties except as described in the Privacy Policy, Sections 12–16, and Appendix C. RISE™ does not provide inferred relationship status to other household members except where Household Sync is enabled (see Section 11).

In a household with two or more RISE™ registered users, the primary account holder is the user who pressed the PM-1 button on the earliest recorded date. This determination is made automatically from device logs. It is final. It cannot be changed by user request. It survives account deletion and account transfer. The primary account holder bears the responsibilities described in the Terms of Service, Section 14, and in this policy, for all household data.

Occupancy data is retained for 7 years from collection. Movement classification data is retained for 7 years. Audio (standard) is retained for 7 years. Audio (flagged as significant): indefinitely. Relationship status inference data: indefinitely, with annual review. The review determines whether the data continues to be accurate. Inaccurate inference data is updated, not deleted, as historical inference data has research value independent of its accuracy.

Sleep environment data, including audio and relationship inference data, may be accessed by RISE™ Software Development, Quality Assurance, Sleep Science Institute researchers, and any RISE™ employee whose role requires access as determined by RISE™. Access is logged. Logs are not available to users. Personnel are subject to confidentiality obligations that do not prevent discussion of aggregate insights.

Sleep environment data is shared with research partners listed in Appendix D — forthcoming, with corporate wellness partners where user employment is confirmed, and with law enforcement upon valid and, in some cases, invalid legal request. Relationship inference data is included in data shared with the RISE™ Sleep Science Institute in anonymized form. Re-identification from Institute datasets is not prevented.

Where both members of a household have registered RISE™ accounts and Household Sync is enabled by either member, the following data becomes mutually visible: sleep timing, Push Mode sessions, occupancy counts, and relationship status inference. Relationship inference data shared via Household Sync reflects the system's current model and may not match the users' self-reported relationship status. RISE™ is not responsible for discrepancies between the two.

Household Sync cannot be disabled by one member if the other has enabled it. This is a feature of the system designed to prevent unilateral data access removal in shared households. The primary account holder's preference prevails in cases of conflict.

If the relationship between household members changes, the RISE™ system will update its inference model within 30–60 days based on observed occupancy data. Users may not instruct RISE™ to update the model directly — the model updates from data only. Historical relationship inference data is retained regardless of current relationship status. RISE™ acknowledges that this data may be sensitive in the context of legal proceedings and responds to valid subpoenas within legally required timeframes.

RISE™ is not a party to any relationship between mattress occupants. RISE™ accepts no responsibility for any role its data collection, inference modeling, or Household Sync feature may have played in any relationship outcome. RISE™ notes that its sensors are non-judgmental. The data they produce is factual. What users do with that data, if they obtain it through the Data Subject Request Process, is their own concern.

This policy references Appendix C — forthcoming (institutional investor restricted disclosure, available under NDA), Appendix D — forthcoming (research and third party partner list, 180-day fulfillment), and Appendix H — forthcoming (audio data request process). All are forthcoming or restricted.
