Privacy Policy

Introduction

WaterMyPlant ("we," "us," "our," or "BlazeApps") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and associated services.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Plant Information: Plant names, types, species, location in your home, care requirements.
• Watering Schedule Data: Watering frequency, last watered dates, upcoming watering reminders.
• Plant Photos: Images you take or upload of your plants using the camera or photo library.
• Care History: Watering history, fertilizing records, pruning notes, and care logs you create.
• Device Information: Device model, operating system, and app version for crash reporting and compatibility.
• Authentication Data: Anonymous Firebase authentication tokens used to sync your data securely.

Camera & Photo Library Access

WaterMyPlant requests access to your camera and photo library to allow you to capture and upload photos of your plants. You can deny these permissions at any time through your device settings. Photos are processed and stored only as long as you keep them in the app. We do not use plant photos for any other purposes beyond plant care tracking.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for:

• Recording plant information and care requirements
• Storing plant photos and care history
• Sending watering reminders and notifications based on your preferences
• Syncing plant data across your devices
• Providing premium features such as unlimited plants, photo journal, watering history, and care reminders
• Analyzing app performance and user engagement
• Fixing bugs and improving app stability

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest. Your plant data and photos are stored securely in Firebase with appropriate access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. If you have security concerns, please contact us immediately.

We retain your plant information, photos, and care history as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Backup copies may take up to 30 days to be deleted.
