    TL;DR: Verdant Grow does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All your plant information stays on your device.
  

Overview

Verdant Grow ("the App") is a plant care companion application developed by NorseCode ("we", "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles data.

Data We Collect

We do not collect any personal data. The App does not require an account, login, or internet connection. Specifically:

No personal information: We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or any identifying information.
No analytics or tracking: The App contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising networks, and no third-party trackers.
No location data: The App does not access your location.
No network communication: The App does not send any data to any server. It works entirely offline.

Data Stored on Your Device

The following data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework:

Plant names, species, and notes you enter
Watering schedules and history
Plant photos from your photo library
App preferences (theme, notification settings)

This data never leaves your device. It is included in your device backups (iCloud or local) as part of the standard iOS backup process, but we do not have access to it.

Notifications

The App uses local notifications to remind you when your plants need watering. These notifications are generated on your device and are not sent through any server. No notification data is collected by us.

Photos

The App may request access to your photo library so you can add photos of your plants. Photos are stored locally within the App's data container and are never uploaded or shared.

Children's Privacy

The App is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. Since we collect no personal data, the App is safe for children to use. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

Third-Party Services

The App does not use any third-party services, SDKs, or APIs that could collect data. There are no analytics, crash reporting, or advertising integrations.

Your Rights

Since we collect no data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete on our end. You have full control over your data on your device:

You can delete all App data by deleting the App from your device.
You can manage notification permissions in iOS Settings.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change our data practices, we will update this page. Any changes will be posted here with a revised "Last updated" date.
