Rootbook is a plant care diary published by Southwest Blueprints. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it. Contact: info@southwestblueprints.com.

The short version

We do not collect, store, sell or share any of your data. We have no servers and no accounts.
No analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting software.
The app makes no network requests on either platform. On Android it does not even hold the internet permission, so it cannot send anything anywhere.

What the app stores, and where

Plant names, spots, notes, care schedules, care history, diary notes and the photos you add are stored in the app's private storage on your device. We cannot see or access any of it.

Android automatic app backup is disabled. On iPhone the app marks Documents and Library as excluded from device backup. Manual backup files saved elsewhere remain under your control.

What leaves your device

Only what you send. If you back up or export, your device's save dialog (Android) or the Files app (iPhone) lets you pick where the file goes, for example device storage, an SD card, iCloud Drive or a cloud storage app you have installed. A backup can be protected with a passphrase (AES-256-GCM encryption). We cannot recover a forgotten passphrase.

Care reminders and backup reminders are scheduled by your device. Nothing is sent from a server.

Photos

When you add a photo, the system photo picker or your camera app hands the app a single image, and the app keeps a copy in its private storage. The app never gets access to your whole photo library.

Purchases

The optional one-time unlock is sold through Google Play on Android and the App Store on iPhone. Apple or Google processes the payment under its own privacy policy. We receive only the standard sales reports the store gives all developers, which are not linked to anything in your diary.

Your control

Uninstall the app on either platform, or clear its storage in Android Settings, to delete all of its data from your device. Backup files you saved elsewhere stay under your control.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Because the app has no internet access, it cannot change what it collects without an app update that you install.
