Privacy Policy for HerbTrack
Last updated: May 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how HerbTrack ("the App", "we", "our") handles your information. Please read it carefully.
---
1. Overview
HerbTrack is a fully offline application. It does not connect to the internet, does not require user registration, and does not transmit any data to external servers or third parties.
---
2. Information We Collect
HerbTrack does NOT collect any personal information. Specifically:
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any personally identifiable information.
- We do not collect location data.
- We do not use analytics, crash reporting services, or tracking tools.
- We do not access your contacts, calendar, or any other system data beyond what is necessary to run the app (camera for photos, storage for saving data).
All data you enter into the app (herb records, growth logs, harvest data, sales records, tasks, expenses, and photos) is stored exclusively on your device using local storage (SQLite database and local file system). This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export or share a backup file.
---
3. Permissions Used
The app may request the following device permissions:
- Camera: To take photos of your herbs and plants.
- Storage (Read/Write): To save photos and backup files to your device.
- Read Media Images (Android 13+): To access photos you have saved on your device for use within the app.
These permissions are used solely to provide core app functionality. No data accessed through these permissions is transmitted anywhere.

4. Advertising
HerbTrack displays banner advertisements provided by Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect certain non-personal device information (such as device type, operating system version, and ad interaction data) to serve relevant ads. This data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
We do not control what data Google AdMob collects. If you wish to opt out of personalized advertising, you can do so through your device settings under Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization.
---
5. Data Storage and Retention
All app data (herbs, logs, harvests, tasks, sales, expenses, and photos) is stored locally on your device only.
- Data is retained on your device for as long as the app is installed, or until you manually delete individual records within the app.
- We do not retain copies of your data on any server, cloud service, or external system.
- We have no access to your data at any time.
---
6. How to Delete Your Data
You have full control over your data. You can delete your data in the following ways:
Option A — Delete specific records: Open the app, navigate to any record (herb, harvest, task, etc.), and use the delete option within the app to remove individual entries.
Option B — Clear all data: Go to Settings within the app. There is no bulk "clear all" button by default, but you can delete records individually from each section.
Option C — Uninstall the app: Uninstalling HerbTrack from your device will permanently remove all app data, including the local database and all photos saved by the app, from your device.
Since all data is stored exclusively on your device and we have no server-side storage, uninstalling the app is the most complete way to ensure all data is removed.
---
7. Backup Files
The app allows you to manually create a backup file (ZIP format) and save or share it using your device's share function. This backup file contains all your app data including photos.
- You are solely responsible for any backup files you create and share.
- We do not store, access, or process these backup files.
- If you share a backup file with another person or service, that sharing is entirely under your control.

8. Children's Privacy
HerbTrack is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. The app contains no features that target minors.
---
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
