Privacy & trust
What Flora Plug does with your data.
Plain description of how the app works today.
Stored on your device
Your garden, watering dates, saved light levels, Lounge posts, photos you attach to posts, and Ask the Library history live in this browser. Clearing site data erases them.
Synced when you sign in
If you sign in with Google, your garden plants (plant, nickname, water interval and last watered date) are saved to a Firestore database so they follow you across devices.
Sent to an AI service
When you tap Ask on a scan or a question, the photo (if you added one) and your words are sent to xAI's Grok service to get an answer. Photos are not saved by Flora Plug. Don't send a photo you don't want processed that way.
Google tools
My Garden has optional Google Calendar, Sheets and other exports. Those only run when you tap them, and only after you grant access to your Google account.
What we don't do
No ads. No selling data. No advertising trackers added by us.
Schools and libraries
Flora Plug has not been through a formal privacy review (such as FERPA or COPPA) or a third-party audit, so no compliance claim is made here.
