Effective Date: September 2025

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, add plant data, or contact us for support.

Device Information and Permissions

We may request access to certain features on your device, including:

  • Camera: Used for taking new photos of your plants to track growth progress
  • Photo Library/Storage: For selecting and uploading existing photos of your plants, and for saving downloaded PDFs, reports, and files to your device
  • Bluetooth: For connecting to plant monitoring devices and sensors
  • Connected Devices: To sync with smart plant monitoring equipment and IoT sensors
  • Internet: Required for data synchronization and authentication

We only access these features with your explicit permission and only for the stated purposes. Photos you upload are used solely for tracking your plant growth and are stored securely in your account. You can manage these permissions through your device settings at any time.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, including tracking your plant growth and providing personalized recommendations.

Communication Features

Our app allows you to send template messages to your clients through your device's native email and messaging apps. We do not access or read your SMS messages or call logs. When you choose to send a message, it opens your preferred messaging or email app with a pre-filled template that you can edit before sending.

File Downloads

Our app allows you to download and save various files including PDFs (growth reports, invoices, care guides) and other documents to your device. These files are saved to your device's Downloads folder or a location you choose. We only access storage when you explicitly request to save or share a file.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services for:

  • Google Sign-In: For authentication (governed by Google's Privacy Policy)
  • Cloud storage services: For secure data storage and synchronization
  • App performance monitoring

These services are bound by their own privacy policies and we ensure they meet our security standards. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide our services. Your plant growth data and account information will be maintained indefinitely to ensure you can access your historical tracking data whenever you return to the app. If you wish to have your data deleted, please contact us at WeListen@GrownLikeAPro.com and we will process your request.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. You may also opt out of certain communications from us.

Cookies and Tracking

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience with our service and to analyze usage patterns.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
