Information we collect
Account information: your email address, authentication records, and the technical information needed to keep you signed in.
Garden and contact information: details you add, such as ZIP code, hardiness zone, beds, dimensions, sunlight, supports, crop choices, placements, yearly plans, feedback, and messages sent through the contact form.
Technical information: limited service and security logs, such as IP address, browser information, request times, and errors, may be processed to operate and protect the service. Cookieless, anonymized website analytics may also record pages visited, referring sites, approximate location, device, operating system, and browser type so we can understand and improve use of the beta.
Location choices
You can type a ZIP code instead of sharing your device location. If you choose “Use my current location,” your browser asks permission and uses latitude and longitude to find a ZIP code. Garden Planner saves the resulting ZIP code with your plan; it does not intentionally save those coordinates.
How we use information
- Provide, save, and restore your garden plans.
- Personalize spacing, placement, climate, and timing guidance.
- Maintain account security and troubleshoot the beta.
- Review feedback and improve recommendations.
- Meet legal obligations and respond to misuse or security incidents.
We do not sell personal information or use garden data for targeted advertising. We do not use garden records to train a general-purpose AI model.
Where information is kept and shared
Garden drafts and planning choices may be stored in your browser. Signed-in plans, account details, submitted feedback, and contact messages may also be processed and stored so the service can provide the features you request.
We share information only when needed to operate the service, follow your direction, comply with law, or protect people and the service. Service providers may process information only for the functions they perform for us.
Retention, security, and your choices
We keep information while your beta account is active and as reasonably needed to operate the service, resolve disputes, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. Browser data remains until you clear it, the app replaces it, or a different account uses that browser.
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. To request access, correction, export, or deletion of your account information, use the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Children’s privacy
Garden Planner is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this notice
We may revise this notice as the product changes. Material changes will be called out in the beta or shared with participants.
