Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Plantrs ("the App") handles your information. The App works without an account of any kind. Your plants, watering history, notes and photos stay on your iPhone, and we do not operate a server that stores them.

1. No Account, No Sign-Up

The App does not require or offer a user account. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, or any personally identifiable information. The name you optionally enter during setup is used only to greet you inside the App and in your own watering reminders. It never leaves your device.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

The plants you add, their planting dates, watering history, journal notes and any photos you attach are stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework. This version of the App does not sync to iCloud and does not send this data anywhere. If a future version adds iCloud sync, it will use your own private iCloud database, and this policy will be updated before that happens.

3. Camera, Photos & Plant Identification

You may choose to photograph a plant, or pick a photo from your library, to identify it or to attach it to a plant or journal note. Identification runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's Vision framework. No photo is uploaded to us or to any third party, and we run no servers.

Photos you attach to a plant or note are downsized and stored in the App's own database on your device. Photos used only for identification are not saved. Photo selection uses Apple's PhotosPicker, which runs outside the App, so the App only receives the specific image you choose and never gains access to your wider library. Camera access is optional; declining it leaves every other feature working.

4. Notifications

With your permission, the App schedules local notifications each morning when a plant needs water. These are scheduled on your device by the App. They are not push notifications, no device token is collected, and no server of ours is involved. You can turn reminders off in the App's Settings or in iOS Settings at any time.

5. Analytics, Advertising & Third Parties

The App contains no third-party analytics, advertising, tracking or attribution SDKs, and it makes no network requests of its own. We do not profile you, and we do not sell or share data with anyone.

Aggregate, anonymised crash and performance statistics may be provided to us by Apple if, and only if, you have opted in to share analytics with developers in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements. This is an Apple system feature and contains no identifying information.

6. Children

The App is a general-audience gardening tool. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

7. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You own your data, and you can remove it from inside the App:

• One plant. Open the plant, tap …, then Remove from garden. This deletes its watering history, notes and photos.
• Everything. Settings › Delete all plants removes every plant from this device. It cannot be undone.

Deleting the App also removes all of its data from your device. Because we operate no server holding your data and no account exists, there is no separate deletion request to send us.

8. Future Community Features

We plan to add an optional community and plant marketplace in a later version. Those features are not part of this version. Before they launch, this policy will be updated to explain exactly what they collect, how posts are moderated, and how to delete your content.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically. Changes are effective immediately upon being posted.
