1. Information Collection and Use

1.1. Local Data Storage (Offline-First)

The core functionality of Sprout: Microgreens Tracker relies on data stored locally on your device. Information regarding your plants, batches, growth stages, and schedules is saved directly on your iOS device using Apple's local storage frameworks. We do not transmit, read, or store this personal plant data on our servers.

1.2. Cloud Synchronization (Future Implementation)

At present, the App operates entirely offline regarding user-generated content. In the future, we may introduce synchronization features utilizing Apple's iCloud services. If implemented, data will be synced across your devices via your personal iCloud account, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. We will not have direct access to your iCloud data.

This data does not identify you personally and is used solely to maintain and enhance the App.

1.4. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions (RevenueCat)

We use a third-party service, RevenueCat, to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. When you make a purchase, RevenueCat processes anonymous purchase identifiers (such as an Apple App Store receipt) to verify your premium access level. We do not collect, process, or store your payment information (such as credit card numbers), as this is securely handled entirely by Apple.

2. Third-Party Services

If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take necessary actions.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
