GrowWise Privacy Policy

Information that stays on your phone

Plants, names, varieties, dates, notes, ratings, growth-stage choices, problem labels, and photos stay on the phone. A sun spot, including a latitude and longitude, obstacles, and a usual spot, stays on the phone. Corrections you make stay on the phone. We do not receive this information.

Camera

The camera is used only when you take a plant photo. The photo is saved in the app on the phone. We do not receive the photo.

Location

If you use the phone’s location on the sun page, GrowWise reads a position so it can calculate the sun path. Coordinates are rounded to three decimal places and kept on the phone. You can type a latitude and longitude instead. We do not receive your location. A compass heading, if you turn that on, also stays on the phone.

Feedback you choose to send

Help & Feedback is optional. The app works if you never send it. If you submit the form, GrowWise sends these fields over an encrypted connection to a Google Apps Script web app, which adds a row to a Google Sheet we own:

• Time of the submission
• Suggestion or Bug/Problem
• Title
• Description
• A plant name, if you included one
• A screenshot note, if you typed one
• Status, which is set to New

The screenshot note is text you type. The photo is not uploaded. We do not ask for your name, email address, or an account. We read suggestions and look at bug reports. We do not use the message for advertising, and we do not sell it. Google hosts the Sheet for us. We do not give the row to other companies.

Google’s servers may see a technical address, such as an IP address, to deliver that request. That address is not saved in the Sheet, and we do not use it to locate you.

Ads and accounts

This version of GrowWise has no ads and no account. It does not use an analytics tool or an advertising identifier.

Children

GrowWise is not directed at children. Do not send feedback for a child under 13.

How long information is kept

Information on the phone stays until you delete a plant, erase all local data, or uninstall the app. Feedback rows stay in the Sheet until you ask us to delete them or we no longer need them to handle the report.

Deletion

On the home screen, Erase all local data removes the plants, photos, notes, and sun spots stored in the app on that phone. Delete plant removes that plant and its photos from the phone. To delete a feedback row, email joeoneil@bsaevents.com with the subject “Delete GrowWise feedback” and the date and title of the message. We will delete the matching rows.

Changes

If a later version adds ads or sends new information off the phone, we will update this policy and the Play Data safety form before that version is published.
