Plantome Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Plantome helps you record plant growth, care activities, and observations. We design the app to keep most of your garden data on your device by default, and to request access or transmit data only when a feature you choose requires it.

Plantome 帮助你记录植物成长、养护过程与观察变化。我们默认将大部分花园数据保存在你的设备本地，仅在你主动使用需要联网或系统权限的功能时，才会请求相应访问或传输相关数据。

This Privacy Policy applies to the Plantome iOS application and the Plantome support website.

本隐私政策适用于 Plantome iOS 应用及 Plantome 支持网站。

2. Information We Process

Depending on how you use Plantome, we may process the following categories of information:

根据你使用 Plantome 的方式，我们可能处理以下类别的信息：

• Plant information — names, species references, care settings, environment notes, and related garden profile details you enter.
• Plant photos — cover images and photos you attach to plants, growth records, observations, or posters.
• Care records — watering, fertilizing, and other care activities you log.
• Observation records — notes, timelines, and observation media you create while tracking plant changes.
• Family collaboration information — When you enable family collaboration, Plantome uses Apple CloudKit to process information such as the shared garden identifier, member roles, sharing permissions, and invitation status.
• Feedback and support information — When you voluntarily submit feedback, Plantome processes the feedback category and message you provide, together with necessary technical information such as the app version, build number, iOS version, device type, locale, and installation identifier.

Plantome also uses limited technical identifiers needed for selected features, such as an installation identifier used to operate plant recognition requests securely.

Plantome 也会使用部分功能所需的有限技术标识，例如用于安全处理植物识别请求的安装标识符。

3. Camera and Photo Library

Plantome accesses the camera or photo library only after you choose to do so. These permissions are used for plant profiles, growth records, observations, and poster generation.

仅在你主动选择时，Plantome 才会使用相机或相册。上述权限用于植物档案、成长记录、观察以及海报生成。

We do not continuously access your camera or photo library in the background.

我们不会在后台持续访问你的相机或相册。

4. Plant Recognition

When you voluntarily use plant recognition, the photo you select is transmitted through Plantome’s service proxy to Baidu AI Cloud to return plant identification results. The request may also include an installation identifier and request identifier for service security, abuse prevention, and request troubleshooting.

当你主动使用植物识别功能时，你选择的照片会通过 Plantome 服务代理发送至百度智能云，以返回植物识别结果。请求还可能包含安装标识符和请求标识符，用于保障服务安全、防止滥用和排查请求问题。

Plant recognition is optional. You can skip recognition and add a plant manually. Recognition photos and related information are not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

植物识别是可选功能。你可以跳过识别并手动添加植物。识别照片和相关信息不会用于广告或跨 App 跟踪。

5. Weather Information

Plantome uses Apple WeatherKit to provide weather and environmental information for the city you manually select in the app. Plantome does not currently request access to the device’s GPS location. Coordinates corresponding to the selected city are sent to Apple WeatherKit to complete the weather request.

Plantome 使用 Apple WeatherKit，根据你在应用内手动选择的城市提供天气和环境信息。Plantome 当前不会请求设备 GPS 定位权限。所选城市对应的坐标会发送给 Apple WeatherKit，以完成天气请求。

Weather information is used for weather display and plant-care references based on local conditions. It is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking. The selected city, weather snapshot, and WeatherKit attribution information are stored locally on the device.

天气信息用于天气展示以及结合当地环境提供植物养护参考，不用于广告或跨 App 跟踪。所选城市、天气快照和 WeatherKit 归属信息保存在设备本地。

6. iCloud and CloudKit

By default, Plantome stores garden data and photos locally on your device. When you enable iCloud synchronization or family collaboration, Plantome uses Apple iCloud and CloudKit to store, synchronize, or share the relevant content.

默认情况下，Plantome 的花园数据和照片保存在你的设备本地。当你启用 iCloud 同步或家庭协作时，Plantome 会使用 Apple iCloud 与 CloudKit 存储、同步或共享相关内容。

Content that may be synchronized to CloudKit includes:

可能同步到 CloudKit 的内容包括：

• Garden names, garden avatars, and sharing status;
• Plant names, cover photos, care settings, tags, and ordering;
• Watering, fertilizing, pruning, repotting, general, and observation records;
• Record notes, plant photos, and record photos;
• Plant collection entries and atlas sticker layouts;
• Record identifiers, modification timestamps, member roles, and permission information necessary to maintain synchronization and sharing.

Family collaboration uses Apple CloudKit Sharing. Only iCloud users whom you invite and who accept the invitation can access the shared garden. Invited members can view or edit plants, care records, photos, and collection content according to the permissions granted to them.

家庭协作通过 Apple CloudKit Sharing 实现。只有你主动邀请并接受共享的 iCloud 用户才能访问共享花园。受邀成员会根据所授予的权限查看或编辑共享花园中的植物、养护记录、照片和图鉴内容。

The garden owner can manage members or stop sharing. Other members can leave the shared garden. After a member is removed or leaves, that member loses access to the shared garden. The original garden data remains with the garden owner unless the owner deletes it separately.

花园所有者可以管理成员或停止共享。普通成员可以退出共享。移除成员或成员退出后，该成员会失去共享花园的访问权限；花园原始数据仍由花园所有者保留，除非所有者另行删除。

Plantome does not actively read or store members’ email addresses, phone numbers, or device contacts through the family collaboration feature. The system invitation interface and iCloud account information are provided by Apple and are processed according to Apple’s privacy policy.

Plantome 不会通过家庭协作功能主动读取或保存成员的电子邮件地址、电话号码或设备通讯录。系统邀请界面和 iCloud 账户信息由 Apple 提供并按照 Apple 的隐私政策处理。

iCloud synchronization and family collaboration require a valid Apple ID and available iCloud services. Apple’s processing of iCloud and CloudKit data is also governed by Apple’s own terms and privacy policy.

使用 iCloud 同步和家庭协作需要有效的 Apple ID 和可用的 iCloud 服务。Apple 对 iCloud 与 CloudKit 数据的处理同时受 Apple 自身条款和隐私政策约束。

7. Data Storage and Retention

Local plant information, care records, observation records, and photos remain on the device until you delete the relevant content in the app or remove the app.

本地植物资料、养护记录、观察记录和照片会保留在设备上，直到你在 App 中删除相关内容或卸载 App。

When you enable iCloud synchronization or family collaboration, the relevant data may continue to be stored in your iCloud and CloudKit. Stopping family sharing does not automatically delete the garden owner’s private garden data. When another member leaves the shared garden, Plantome removes the shared garden information and related image caches from that member’s device, but does not delete the original data stored by the garden owner in CloudKit.

当你启用 iCloud 同步或家庭协作时，相关数据可能持续保存在你的 iCloud 和 CloudKit 中。停止家庭共享不会自动删除花园所有者的私人花园数据。普通成员退出共享后，Plantome 会清理该成员设备上的共享花园资料和相关图片缓存，但不会删除花园所有者在 CloudKit 中保存的原始数据。

To synchronize deletion operations across devices and family members, some deleted records may temporarily remain as deletion markers.

为确保删除操作能够在不同设备和家庭成员之间同步，部分已删除记录可能暂时以删除标记的形式保留。

Plant recognition requests, feedback information, and necessary technical logs are retained only for as long as needed to provide the relevant feature, maintain service security, troubleshoot issues, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

植物识别请求、反馈信息和必要技术日志仅在提供相应功能、维护服务安全、排查问题或履行适用法律义务所需的期间内保留。

8. Data Deletion

You can delete individual plants, care records, observation records, and related photos within the app. Deletion operations are synchronized to enabled iCloud devices and shared garden participants.

你可以在 App 内删除单个植物、养护记录、观察记录及相关照片。删除操作会同步到已启用的 iCloud 设备和共享花园参与者。

The garden owner can remove shared members or stop family sharing. Removing a member terminates that member’s access to the shared garden but does not delete the garden owner’s data. Stopping sharing removes the sharing relationship but preserves the garden owner’s private garden data.

花园所有者可以移除共享成员或停止家庭共享。移除成员会终止该成员对共享花园的访问，但不会删除花园所有者的数据。停止共享会删除共享关系，但会保留花园所有者的私人花园数据。

Other members can leave a shared garden. After leaving, Plantome removes the shared garden information and related image caches from that member’s device, but the original data stored by the garden owner is not deleted.

普通成员可以退出共享花园。退出后，Plantome 会清理该成员设备上的共享花园资料和相关图片缓存，但花园所有者保存的原始数据不会被删除。

Removing the app deletes local data stored on that device, but does not automatically delete data that remains in iCloud or CloudKit.

卸载 App 会删除该设备上的本地数据，但不会自动删除仍保存在 iCloud 或 CloudKit 中的数据。

9. Feedback and Support

When you voluntarily submit feedback through the app, Plantome transmits the feedback category and message you provide, together with the app version, build number, iOS version, device type, locale, and installation identifier necessary to process the feedback.

当你主动通过 App 提交反馈时，Plantome 会发送你填写的反馈类别和正文，以及处理反馈所需的 App 版本、Build 版本、iOS 版本、设备类型、语言地区和安装标识符。

This information is used only to receive and respond to feedback, troubleshoot issues, maintain service security, and improve the product experience. It is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

这些信息仅用于接收和处理反馈、排查问题、维护服务安全以及改进产品体验，不用于广告或跨 App 跟踪。

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in your feedback message. If you voluntarily provide your name, contact details, or other personal information in the feedback, we use that information only as necessary to process the feedback.

请不要在反馈正文中主动填写不必要的敏感个人信息。若你在反馈中自行提供姓名、联系方式或其他个人信息，我们只会在处理该反馈所需的范围内使用这些内容。

10. User Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain information about personal data related to your use of Plantome.

根据你所在地区的适用法律，你可能享有访问、更正、删除与 Plantome 使用相关的个人数据，或了解相关信息的权利。

Because much of your garden content is stored locally or in your Apple iCloud account, many requests can be completed directly in the app or through Apple account settings. For other requests, contact us using the details below.

由于你的大量花园内容保存在本地或你的 Apple iCloud 账户中，许多请求可直接在应用内或通过 Apple 账户设置完成。如需其他协助，请通过下方联系方式与我们联系。

Plantome may rely on the following third-party or platform services:

Plantome 可能依赖以下第三方或平台服务：

• Apple WeatherKit — provides weather and environmental information for the city manually selected by the user.
• Apple iCloud / CloudKit — provides optional data synchronization, cloud storage, and family collaboration.
• Baidu AI Cloud — plant recognition analysis via Plantome’s proxy.
• Plantome service proxy and feedback service — transmit plant recognition requests, receive user feedback, and maintain service security.
