My Plant Reminder Privacy Policy
# My Plant Reminder — Privacy Policy
- Effective date: May 15, 2026
- Last updated: May 15, 2026
This policy describes how the mobile application "My Plant Reminder" (the "app") handles user data. The app has no sign-up or account system. Plant data, photos, and reminder settings you enter stay on your device.
## 1. Information the app collects or transmits
### 1.1 Directly identifying information
The app does not collect name, email, phone number, address, date of birth, or any other directly identifying information. There is no sign-up or login.
### 1.2 Stored locally on your device
The following stays on your device and is not transmitted to any server:
- Plant entries (name, type, registration date, notes you enter)
- Plant photos picked via `image_picker` (copied into the app's private sandbox)
- Care records (watering, fertilizing, repotting) and next reminder schedules
- App settings (theme, language, reminder times) — stored via `shared_preferences`
- Local notification schedules — managed by `flutter_local_notifications`
Storage lives inside the per-app sandbox isolated by the OS; other apps cannot read it. Uninstalling the app removes all of the above.
### 1.3 Information sent to third-party services
#### Google AdMob (ads)
The app uses Google AdMob to serve ads. AdMob may automatically collect the following for ad delivery, personalization, and measurement:
- Advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID / iOS IDFA, if you consented)
- IP address
- Device information (model, OS version, language, coarse IP-based location)
- Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)
On iOS the system App Tracking Transparency dialog (`app_tracking_transparency`) is shown on first launch. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track," IDFA is not transmitted.
AdMob processing is governed by Google's privacy policy:
- https://policies.google.com/privacy
#### Google Play in-app updates
`in_app_update` lets Google Play check whether a newer version exists. No additional personal data is collected during this check.
## 2. Permissions
Permissions the app requests and the reason for each:
### Android
- `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` — show plant care reminders
- `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` / `USE_EXACT_ALARM` — deliver reminders at the exact scheduled time
- `RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` — restore reminder schedules after device reboot
- Photo access — handled by the OS Photo Picker via `image_picker`; no separate storage permission is requested (Android 13+ Photo Picker).
### iOS
- Notification permission (UNUserNotificationCenter) — show plant care reminders
- Photo library access — only when you pick a plant photo, via the OS system picker
The app does not request camera, microphone, contacts, precise location, or full storage access.
## 3. Retention
- Locally stored data: retained until you uninstall the app or use "Reset data" in app settings.
- Third-party (AdMob) data: governed by the respective service's privacy policy.
## 4. Sharing with third parties
The app does not share user information with any third party other than Google AdMob and Google Play as described in section 1.3.
## 5. Your rights
- Reset data: uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
- Reset / opt out of the advertising identifier:
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Reset advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track"
- Disable notifications: turn them off in the app's settings or in the OS per-app notification settings.
## 6. Children's privacy
The app is not directed to users under 14 (Korean law) or under 13 (COPPA). AdMob ads are delivered under Google's general-audience policy.
## 7. Privacy contact
- Responsible person: SiU Ahn
- Contact: siwooeo@gmail.com
Requests for access, deletion, or other inquiries are answered within 7 business days.
## 8. Changes to this policy
This policy may change as laws or services evolve. When it does, the effective date and last-updated date at the top of this page are updated. Material changes are announced via in-app notice or store release notes.
