Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the PlantFocus application (the “App”) handles your information. We designed PlantFocus to help you identify plants, assess their health, and receive care recommendations while respecting your privacy.

Scope

This policy applies to the PlantFocus mobile and web applications and any related services that link to this policy.

What information we process

• Camera Images: Photos you take within the App for identification or health analysis.
• Gallery Images: Photos you optionally select from your device’s local gallery for analysis.
• On‑device Metadata: Basic device information strictly necessary for the App to function (e.g., OS version), processed locally. We do not collect personal identifiers.

Permissions

• Camera Access: PlantFocus requests permission to use your camera for taking pictures of plants. Images captured are used solely for analysis within the App.
• Gallery Access: The App requests permission to access your device's local gallery so you can upload existing plant images for analysis.

How we handle your data

• Local Processing: Analyses and AI chat interactions are processed and stored locally on your device. This enables quick results and stronger privacy.
• No Cloud Upload by Default: By default, PlantFocus does not upload your images or analysis data to external servers.
• No Third‑Party Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share your information or images with third parties.
• No Tracking: We do not track your activity across apps or websites and we do not collect personal identifiers for advertising.

Optional features

From time to time we may introduce optional, opt‑in features (e.g., cloud backup or account sync). These will be clearly labeled and require your explicit consent. If introduced, we will update this policy and present choices in‑app.

Your choices and rights

• Revoke Permissions: You may revoke camera or gallery permissions at any time via your device’s system settings. The App will continue to work with available functionality.
• Local Data Control: Because data is stored on your device, you control it. You can delete images directly from your gallery and clear the App’s local data from your device settings.
• Access and Correction: Any plant profiles or notes you create are stored locally and editable by you in‑app.

Data retention

We do not retain copies of your data on our servers. Your images and analyses remain on your device until you delete them.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the App’s local data processing. As with any software, you should keep your device and operating system up to date.

Children’s privacy

PlantFocus is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us and we will address it promptly.

International use

The App may be used globally. We do not transfer your data to other countries because we do not collect or store it on our servers.
