Data we may collect in the app

Location

If you choose to use location in the app, the app may collect location information needed to place a Seed on the map.

Your exact position is not intended to be shown publicly as exact tracking data, and anonymous options may reduce or omit identifying location details.

Photos, camera, and media

If you choose to upload a profile image or use camera or gallery features, the app only processes the image you choose to submit.

The app does not access your camera or photo library unless you actively use those features.

Notifications

If you enable notifications, the app may store a device token so it can deliver alerts such as inbox, forum, live chat, or announcement notifications.

How we use app data

To run app features such as stories, Seeds, inbox, forum, and live chat
To deliver notifications you have chosen to receive
To moderate the community and respond to reports
To keep the app working, secure, and protected against abuse

We do not sell your app data.

Third-party services

The app may rely on services such as hosting, database, storage, authentication, or notification infrastructure to function.

Examples may include providers such as Supabase or similar infrastructure used to run the app.

Data sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal data. Data is only processed or shared where needed to operate the app, support moderation, protect the community, or comply with legal obligations.

Retention and deletion

We keep app data for as long as needed to operate the service, maintain community integrity, resolve safety issues, or comply with legal obligations.

You can request deletion of your profile and account by using the app's profile deletion flow where available.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your data, or to withdraw consent where relevant.
