9. Device Permissions

River requests access to certain device features to enable core functionality of the app. These permissions are used only when you choose to use the related features, and River does not access these features in the background.

• Camera: Used only when you choose to capture photos or videos for posting, messaging, or updating your profile. River does not record or access camera content unless you initiate the action.
• Microphone: Used only when you choose to record audio or video content. River does not access the microphone unless you explicitly start a recording.
• Photos, Media, and Files: Used to allow you to select and upload images, videos, and other media to share with other users. River does not modify or access your files without your action.
• Storage: Used to temporarily store media you upload or create within the app. River does not access unrelated files on your device.

These permissions are used solely to support user‑initiated actions such as uploading, creating, and sharing multimedia content with other users on the platform.
