No separate account. No advertising. No analytics.
Your collection is stored on your device and does not automatically sync between devices. You can export a backup to a location you choose.
Leafy & Me is a plant care app. Visit leafyandme.com for information and support. This policy covers the published Leafy & Me app for iPhone and iPad. The app stores your collection locally; you can export and import backups through Files.
Your collection
Leafy & Me stores your plant names, plant types, room labels, light conditions, photos, care schedules, and history in its private storage on your device. Room labels are text you enter; Leafy & Me does not request your device’s geographic location. The app does not send your collection to us or a developer-operated server and does not automatically sync it through iCloud. Your collection remains available on your device offline.
You can export a snapshot to iCloud Drive or another location in Files using Export Collection. Choosing iCloud Drive stores the exported file there; it does not enable automatic collection sync. Your device’s own backups may also include app data according to your Apple backup settings. Apple handles its services under its privacy policy.
Permissions and reminders
Camera access is requested only when you choose Take Photo. You can select a photo with Apple’s system picker instead, use a bundled reference image, or keep no photo. Leafy & Me receives only the library items you select through the picker.
Notifications are optional. They are scheduled locally to remind you about care. Leafy & Me stores reminder preferences and occurrence identifiers locally to avoid repeating alerts. You can revoke camera permission and notifications in iOS Settings and continue using the app.
Retention and deletion
Your collection remains on your device until you delete it. Swipe a plant in the Plants list and confirm Delete Plant to remove its photo, rules, and history. Leafy & Me retains record identifiers and deletion dates to prevent deleted records from reappearing when older data is merged. These markers do not retain the deleted photo, plant name, or care history. Deleting a plant on one device does not automatically delete it from another device or from exported backups.
Deleting Leafy & Me removes its local app storage; offloading the app is different and can preserve that storage. Uninstalling the app does not delete exported backup files or necessarily remove device backups managed by Apple. Delete exported copies separately in Files or their chosen destination, and manage device backups through your Apple settings. There is no separate Leafy & Me user account to delete.
Backups you export
Export Collection creates a JSON file containing your collection and photos. Leafy & Me does not encrypt this file. You choose its destination through Apple’s file interface, which may include cloud providers. Protect copies from unauthorized access and delete them separately from Files or the chosen destination. Deleting a plant or uninstalling Leafy & Me does not delete exported files.
Tracking and external pages
Leafy & Me includes no advertising, analytics SDKs, tracking, or automatic developer diagnostics. Its plant catalog and reference photos are bundled and work offline.
Opening support, policy, source, or license links opens a website outside Leafy & Me. The receiving site processes that visit under its own privacy practices; Leafy & Me does not send your collection with the link. If you email support, your email address, message, and any attachments are handled by the maintainer and email service providers to respond to your request; they are not automatically collected by the app.
This website
This website contains no analytics, advertising, tracking scripts, contact forms, or embedded third-party content. Fonts use your device’s system fonts, and styles and images are served from this site. The site does not set cookies or use browser storage.
The hosting provider receives information needed to serve a page, such as your IP address and browser request details, and may retain server logs under its own practices. Following an external link, including the App Store or GitHub website source, takes you to a separate website governed by that website’s privacy practices.
Contact and changes
For privacy questions or help managing your data, contact Leafy & Me at support@leafyandme.com. Do not send passwords or other sensitive information that is not needed for your request. You do not need to share your collection to ask a privacy question.
Changes to this policy will appear on this page with an updated date. If a future version changes data handling, its policy and App Store disclosures will be reviewed before release.
