Your plants stay on your iPhone.

Greenlings is free and does not collect any data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Everything you add is stored on your iPhone and is never sent to us or anyone else.

What the app stores on your iPhone

To look after your plants, Greenlings keeps this information in its own storage on your device, shared only with the Greenlings widget:

• Each plant's name, which Greenling it is, its pot shape and pot color, and how often it needs water.
• A photo of the plant, if you choose to take one.
• If you use NFC stickers: the ID of the sticker you paired with the plant.
• Your watering history: when each plant was watered and how it was logged (in the app, on a widget, from a notification, with Shortcuts or Siri for tap-to-water, or with the in-app sticker scan).
• Your settings, such as your reminder time and whether reminders make a sound.

Your streak is worked out from this watering history on your iPhone; it isn't stored or sent anywhere.

Permissions

Greenlings only asks for access when you use the feature that needs it. You can change each one at any time in the iPhone Settings app.

• Camera: to take a photo of your plant. The photo is saved in the app, not in your photo library.
• Notifications: to remind you when a plant is thirsty. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone; no server is involved.
• NFC: only if you choose to use stickers, to read a sticker's ID while you scan or pair it. Nothing is written to the sticker.

Backups

If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or to a computer, Apple's backup can include Greenlings' data, as it does for other apps. That backup is handled by Apple under your own settings, we cannot see it.

Deleting your data

To remove one plant and its history, open the plant, tap the ••• menu and choose Delete plant. To remove everything, delete the Greenlings app from your iPhone.

Children

Greenlings collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of Greenlings handles data differently, for example with iCloud sync, we will update this page and the date at the top before that version is released.
