Your privacy
in Plantarium.
Your plant collection stays on your device
Plantarium stores your plants, journal, photos, and preferences on your device. The app has no account, advertising, tracking, or developer-operated cloud sync.
Optional anonymous game records
Squirrel Solitaire saves games, statistics, and personal records on your device. Shared records are optional and off by default. If you enable them, the score service issues a random game credential and receives the game's moves when you win so it can verify the score. It does not receive your plant records, photos, name, email, or an account identifier. Public records show only scores and difficulty.
The service runs on Cloudflare. It stores the deal, difficulty, rules version, dates, a hash of the random credential, and the verified result. Move payloads are discarded after verification; a hash of the accepted moves is retained to recognize retries. Unfinished server deals expire after 90 days and are removed by a daily cleanup. Accepted receipts and shared records are retained to prevent duplicate or conflicting submissions. Your network address is processed to deliver requests and is hashed with the day for temporary rate limiting; it is not stored with game records. Hosting providers also process technical request information needed to operate the service.
You can turn shared records off in Squirrel Solitaire. This stops future score uploads and clears pending uploads on your device; it does not remove scores already accepted. Local play continues when the service is unavailable.
Optional feedback
When you choose Send feedback, your message, category, optional reply email, and any app details you include are stored with Cloudflare and emailed through Resend to Plantarium’s developer. Plant records and photos are not attached automatically. Your IP address is used temporarily to limit repeated submissions; it is not stored with your feedback. You can review everything in the form before sending.
Feedback is used to respond to questions and improve Plantarium. To request removal of feedback you submitted, contact support@plantarium.dev and include enough information to identify your message.
Camera, photos, and notifications
Camera access is optional and used to take plant photos. When you allow adding to Photos, accepted camera captures also save to your iPhone photo library, even if you later cancel adding the plant or photo in Plantarium. The photo picker lets you choose images to import. Notifications are optional and can be disabled in Settings.
Sharing and backups
Camera captures saved to Photos follow your photo library settings, including iCloud Photos if enabled. You can also save or share individual photos from the photo viewer. Shared photos and collection backups are handled by the destination you choose under its own policies. Backups are unencrypted; keep them in a location you trust. Device backups may also include app data, depending on your device settings.
Deleting your data
Deleted journal entries are retained for recovery. Permanently deleting a plant removes its records from the active collection and cleans up unused photos. Your iPhone photo library, earlier collections and exported backups retain their copies. Remove earlier local collections under Settings → Backups & restore → Manage local copies, and delete exported copies where you saved them.
