Privacy policy

Effective 1 September 2026 · applies to the GrowAndRaise iOS app and growandraise.com

GrowAndRaise plans your vegetable garden. To do that it stores your garden, and very little else. There are no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking, and your data is never sold or shared for marketing — full stop.

What we store

• Your account. When you sign in with Apple we store the identifier Apple gives us, plus the name and email Apple shares (the email may be Apple's private relay address if you chose to hide yours). It's used only to be your account — never for marketing.
• Your garden. Gardens, beds, plantings, tasks, harvests, issue reports, photos you take of your plants, and the garden's coordinates and timezone — the things the app exists to keep for you. All of it lives on our server at growandraise.com. Photos are only ever visible to you, and only through the app.
• A push token, if you turn on notifications, so your phone can receive the morning digest and frost warnings. Declining push changes nothing else.

Location

The app asks for your location once, only when you create a garden, only to set that garden's position on the map. Say no and you can type coordinates in by hand instead. There is no background location and no location history — a garden is one fixed point.

Weather

Your garden's coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo (a weather service) to fetch the forecast and frost history for that spot. That request happens from our server and carries coordinates only — never your name, email, or anything else about you. Open-Meteo is the only third party we talk to.

Deleting your account

In the app: Me → Delete account. That immediately and permanently deletes your account and everything in it — gardens, beds, plantings, history, photos, push tokens, all of it — from our server. There is no soft delete and no retention period; when it's gone, it's gone.

What we don't do

• No advertising, and no ad or analytics SDKs in the app.
• No selling, renting, or sharing your data with anyone.
• No tracking you across other apps or websites.
