Welcome to Plant Doctor. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our Android mobile application ("App") and any related services.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect the information necessary to provide and improve the Plant Doctor experience.
- Account Information: When you sign up, we strictly collect your Email address solely for authentication and secure account management purposes.
- Plant Photos: To diagnose plant diseases, our App requires you to capture or upload Plant Photos. These images are essential for the core functionality of our AI diagnosis.
- Usage Data: We may collect diagnostic data, crash reports, and usage metrics to improve the App's performance and user experience.
- Push Notifications: If you grant permissions, we utilize OneSignal to send you Push Notifications. You have full control and can opt-out of these notifications at any time via your device settings.
2. How We Use and Process Your Data
The information we collect is used in the following ways:
- Providing AI-powered plant disease diagnosis.
- Managing your subscription status and premium benefits.
- Maintaining your personal "Scan History" so you can track plant health over time.
- In-App Messaging & Communication: We use OneSignal not only for Push Notifications but also for In-App Messaging to provide updates, tips, and promotional offers. Interaction Data (like whether you clicked an in-app message) is processed via OneSignal to personalize the user experience. This is done to improve the service and keep you informed about plant care.
External Processing: To provide accurate diagnostics, the plant images you upload are processed securely via Google Gemini AI. By using the app, you consent to your images being analyzed by this third-party service solely for the purpose of identifying plant health markers.
3. Data Storage and Security
Your account information, app settings, and plant scan history are securely stored on Supabase encrypted databases. We implement modern security standards to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.

Plant Doctor utilizes trusted third-party providers:
- Supabase: Custom database hosting, robust user authentication, and secure image storage.

- OneSignal: We use OneSignal to deliver timely Push Notifications. This service requires sharing basic device tokens securely to ensure notifications reach your specific device.
5. Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to access, update, or delete your account information at any time. If you wish to delete your account, remove your data, and clear your associated scan history, you can do so directly within the App settings or by contacting our support team.
