Summary. EY Plants does not require an App account. Your plant diary, notes, locations, reminders, and photos are stored on your device and are not sent to the developer. If you choose Google Drive backup, Google processes the selected account and backup as described below. Google Play processes purchases, while maps, advertising, and consent providers may process limited device, location, advertising, and consent information.

EY Plants (the “App”) is developed and published by Eydevelops.

1. Overview

The App helps you maintain a private plant diary, record events and photos, save plant locations, and schedule care reminders.

The developer does not provide App accounts and does not operate a dedicated server that receives your plant records, notes, photos, map pins, or reminder content. Information is sent to a third-party service only when that service is needed for a feature you use, as explained below.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Data stored by the App may include:

This data is not sent to a server operated by the developer.

3. Photos, Camera, and Files

When you take or choose a photo, the App copies the selected image into private, App-managed storage. The Android camera or photo picker processes only the photo you choose to provide. The App does not upload plant photos to the developer.

The Android document picker and sharing interface are used only when you choose a backup, restore, export, or share action. Photos and other plant data are included in those files only as part of the operation you request.

4. Location and Google Maps

You can place plant locations manually without granting location permission. If you tap the current-location action, Android may ask for approximate or precise location access. The returned location is used to position the map and is not saved automatically. Coordinates become part of your plant diary only when you explicitly save a pin.

Map tiles and related map functionality are provided by Google Maps Platform. Google may process location, device, network, and usage information needed to provide the map service under the Google Privacy Policy.

5. Notifications and Alarms

The App can schedule local care-reminder notifications from settings stored on your device. Notification permission is requested only when required for an enabled reminder. Reminder content is generated locally and is not sent to the developer.

The optional Alarms & reminders access allows more precise delivery of care reminders and automatic Google Drive backup. If that access is unavailable, Android may deliver scheduled work less precisely. The App also responds to device restarts, time changes, and time-zone changes so enabled local schedules can be restored.

6. In-App Purchases

The App uses Google Play Billing for optional one-time purchases, subscriptions, and support purchases. Google Play processes the payment. The App does not receive or store your full payment-card details.

To provide purchased access, the App may receive and store product identifiers, purchase state, purchase tokens, subscription or transaction information, and entitlement state supplied by Google Play.

7. Advertising and Consent

The free version may display banner advertisements and optional rewarded advertisements. A rewarded advertisement can grant an additional plant-creation credit or temporary access to backup and restore after the advertising SDK confirms completion.

The configured advertising waterfall uses Unity Ads, Yandex Mobile Ads, Liftoff Monetize, and Unity LevelPlay. InMobi Choice is used to request or manage advertising consent where required. Depending on availability, region, and your consent choices, these providers and their partners may process advertising identifiers, IP address and IP-derived approximate location, device and app information, diagnostics, fraud-prevention signals, consent choices, and ad interactions.

Provider policies are available from Unity, Yandex, Liftoff, and InMobi.

8. Backup, Restore, Export, and Sharing

Local importable backups and human-readable ZIP exports are created only when you request them and use a file destination or sharing app you select. A backup can contain the App database, settings, and included photos. A readable export can contain plant, event, location, and care-reminder records together with related photos.

If you explicitly choose Google Drive backup or restore, the App requests access only to its private App-data folder in the selected Google Drive account. It stores the selected account email address locally, uploads or downloads the requested backup, and keeps limited local metadata about recent backups. Automatic Drive backup, if enabled, runs on its configured schedule and includes attached photos.

The developer does not receive your Google credentials, Google Drive access token, account details, or backup contents. Clearing App data or uninstalling the App does not automatically delete files you exported, shared, or stored in Google Drive.

9. Third-Party Services and Network Information

The App may use the following third-party services:

These services may receive standard network information such as IP address, device information, request time, and service interactions according to their own terms and privacy policies. The developer does not add an independent analytics service or operate a user-tracking server.

10. Data Sharing

The developer does not sell your personal data and does not receive your locally stored plant diary.

Data is disclosed to an integrated third-party service only when needed to provide the maps, location, purchase, advertising, consent, update, or Google Drive feature you use. Data you intentionally export or share is handled by the destination and apps you select.

11. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a developer-operated App account or server.

12. Your Choices, Retention, and Deletion

You control the records stored in the App and can edit, move to the Bin, restore, or permanently delete supported items. Items in the Bin remain on the device until restored or permanently deleted.

You can remove all local App data by clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling it. The developer cannot inspect, export, correct, or delete local data for you because the developer does not receive it.

Exported files and Google Drive backups are separate copies. Delete them from their destination or from the App’s Google Drive backup controls. You can revoke the App’s Google account access through your Google Account settings. Android Settings controls location, notification, and Alarms & reminders access, and the App’s privacy options control available advertising-consent choices.

13. Data Security

Local data is stored using standard Android private-storage mechanisms. Google Drive backups use the App’s private Drive App-data folder. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so you should keep your device, Google account, and exported backup files protected.

14. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not responsible for loss arising from device failure, deleted or corrupted data, inaccurate locations, missed reminders, unavailable third-party services, or failure to maintain a usable backup. This section does not limit rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated when the App’s features, providers, permissions, or legal requirements change. Updates will be shown on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
