Garden Data: Notes, plant entries, and other garden-related information saved by the user.
Location (with permission): When a user grants location access, the App uses it to provide local gardening advice and weather information.

All user data is stored in Firebase Firestore and Firebase Storage. Some authentication and analytics data flows through Google services as part of standard Firebase operations.
4. Data Sharing
We share data with the following third-party service providers to facilitate app functionality:
Google Analytics for Firebase: Used for crash reports, stability monitoring, and performance insights.
RevenueCat: Used to manage subscription status and purchase history. Anonymous App User IDs and purchase receipts are shared to verify your "Pro" status.
Google Gemini (AI): User-uploaded photos are processed by Google's Generative AI to provide plant identification and diagnosis. Images are processed for this specific purpose and are subject to Google's data processing terms.
User information is retained indefinitely, unless the user requests deletion.
Users may exercise the following rights at any time by contacting us:
Request deletion of their account and all associated data.
Request a copy of the data associated with their account.
Request corrections to inaccurate or outdated information.
Seedly is intended for users aged 18 and older, primarily due to subscription features. The App does not contain content inappropriate for younger audiences, but it is not designed or marketed for children under 13. Seedly does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We implement industry-standard security measures provided by Firebase to protect stored data. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When changes are made, the updated version will be posted within the App or on the distribution platform.
