Privacy, in plain language.

The short version

• Your plants, journal, photos, care history, and environment notes live on your device by default.
• No account is required to use the local garden and journal.
• A plant photo leaves your device only when you request online identification.
• Cloud backup and household sharing are optional and begin only after you enable them.
• If you previously joined the launch list, the website stored your email, consent time, and signup page.
• Anonymous product analytics are optional and exclude plant names, notes, photos, email, and account identifiers.
• On iOS, Apple Ads attribution may be measured through Apple and RevenueCat so Sprignote can compare campaign costs with subscription results.

Previous launch-update list

Before the App Store release, visitors could submit a website launch form. Sprignote stored the email address entered, the consent time, and the page where the visitor joined. That information was used only for the availability update, remained separate from product analytics and app accounts, and is retained only as needed to complete that purpose or handle a deletion request. You can ask us to remove it at any time at support@sprignote.com.

Information stored on your device

Sprignote stores plant profiles, identification history, photos, journal entries, care rhythms, reminders, spaces, household details, and app preferences locally. You can export readable garden data or create a complete backup from the app.

Plant identification

When you ask Sprignote to identify a plant, the selected image and the minimum technical information required to process the request are sent securely to Sprignote's identification service and its plant-recognition provider. Your journal and other plant records are not included. The app explains this before identification is used.

Optional account and cloud sync

If you create an account, Sprignote stores your email, session records, household membership, entitlement status, and a private cloud garden snapshot when sync is enabled. Nothing in the local garden is uploaded merely because you sign in. Account deletion removes the cloud account, sessions, household access, and owned cloud backups; local data on your device remains until you delete it there.

Purchases

App Store and Google Play handle payment details. Sprignote uses RevenueCat to verify subscription entitlements and does not receive your full payment-card information. Deleting a Sprignote account does not cancel a store subscription.

Analytics and diagnostics

Analytics are off until you opt in. Allowed events describe product actions and service status; they do not include free-form text, plant names, journal content, photos, email, or account identifiers. The previous launch list described above was separate from product analytics. Support diagnostics follow the same content-free rule.

Apple Ads attribution

On iOS 14.3 and later, Sprignote may use Apple's Standard AdServices attribution through RevenueCat. Apple may return whether an installation came from an Apple Ads campaign, along with campaign, ad group, keyword, placement, and country identifiers. RevenueCat can associate that record with a subscription customer to measure trials, purchases, renewals, and refunds. This does not use the advertising identifier or require App Tracking Transparency permission. It runs separately from optional product analytics and does not contain your plant records, photos, notes, email, or Sprignote cloud account ID.

Your choices

You can use Sprignote without an account, decline analytics, keep sync off, export your records, make a complete backup, delete individual records, or delete your cloud account. Device permissions for camera, photos, and notifications can be changed in system settings.
