Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 7, 2025

PlantFocus respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle photos used for scans and the rest of your app data.

Photos Used for Scans

  • Purpose: Photos are used only to perform the requested analysis (e.g., plant identification or health check).
  • Processing: Photos may be transmitted securely to Firebase solely to complete the scan.
  • Immediate deletion: Scan photos are deleted from Firebase immediately after the scan completes. We do not keep copies.
  • No secondary use: We do not use your photos for marketing, model training, or any purpose other than your scan.
  • Access: Firebase acts as our service provider to process the scan under our instructions.

All Other App Data (Local Only)

  • Local storage: Your app data—such as scan history, notes, and preferences—stays on your smartphone.
  • No cloud storage: We do not upload this app data to our servers.
  • Backups: If device backups (e.g., iCloud/Google) are enabled, encrypted system backups may include your app data. Manage backups in your device settings.

What We Don’t Collect

  • No server-side retention of your photos after scans.
  • No advertising identifiers or third‑party analytics in the mobile app.
  • No personal profile or account is required to use the app.

Security

  • Transport security: All data in transit uses encryption (HTTPS/TLS).
  • Access controls: We apply strict Firebase security rules and least‑privilege access for temporary processing.
  • Device security: Because your app data is stored locally, protecting your device (passcode, biometrics, OS updates) helps protect your data.

Your Choices and Controls

  • Delete app data from within the app where available, or uninstall the app to remove locally stored data.
  • Manage device backups in your OS settings.
  • Revoke camera or photo permissions at any time in device settings.

Children’s Privacy

The app is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us to request deletion.

International Use

Temporary processing of scan photos may occur in regions where Firebase operates. These locations may have data protection laws that differ from your jurisdiction.
