Leafsip Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-20

Leafsip — a plant care app that shows how thirsty each plant is, reminds you when to water, fertilize, mist, repot or prune, and lets you log care with one tap ("the app") — is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Leafsip has no account system and we do not operate a server for it.

Data stored on your device

Your plants (names, spots, care routines and notes), the photos you choose for them, your care history and your app settings are stored only on your device and are not transmitted to us. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Photos

When you add a photo to a plant, the app uses Android's system photo picker. Only the single image you pick is shared with the app; the app makes a smaller copy in its private storage on your device. The app does not ask for camera or full storage access and does not upload your photos anywhere.

Permissions the app asks for and why

• Notifications (optional). For a morning reminder when a plant is thirsty, and an evening reminder if it still is. You can decline; the rest of the app keeps working.
• Run at startup. So watering reminders are restored after your phone restarts.
• Vibration. For reminder vibration, which you can turn off in the app's Settings.
• Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. Tracking your plants does not need the internet.

Information collected automatically

When you use the app, certain information may be collected automatically by third-party SDKs used for advertising. This may include:

• Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may be used to estimate your approximate (general) location
• Device or other identifiers, such as your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and app set ID
• App interactions, such as session time, screens viewed, and ad views and taps
• Crash logs and diagnostic information, such as the mobile operating system and device model you use and ad performance data

This information is collected by the advertising SDK and shared with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance purposes. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send your plants, photos or care history off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to them.

Advertising

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of most screens (never on the screen where you add or edit a plant), an ad when the app starts, and full-screen ads only at natural pauses (for example when you open a plant's details or after you save a plant). To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown instead. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and you can change your consent choice from the app's Settings screen.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners' apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Children

Leafsip is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Because your data exists only on your device, you are in direct control of it: you can edit or delete any plant and its history in the app at any time, and uninstalling the app removes everything completely. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA in California), you may also have rights regarding data processed by advertising SDKs; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings described above.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
