1. Introduction

Welcome to PlantDoc, created and published by SVM Dev Studio. PlantDoc is an intelligent botanical assistant offering plant disease diagnosis powered by Artificial Intelligence, custom plant care management, and geo-referenced smart watering schedules based on real-time local weather.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you download and use the PlantDoc mobile application on iOS or Android devices.

2. Permissions & Data Processing

A. Camera and Photo Library (Plant Disease Diagnosis)

• Purpose: PlantDoc requests access to your device's camera and photo library solely to allow you to take or upload photos of leaves, stems, or roots for AI botanical health analysis.
• Processing: Uploaded images are transmitted securely via encrypted HTTPS connections to our AI analysis models to generate the botanical diagnostic report.
• Storage: Plant photos analyzed for diagnosis are processed ephemerally. We do not store your personal photos permanently on external servers, and we do not use your private images to train public models.

B. Location Services (Local Weather & Smart Irrigation)

• Purpose: To calculate optimal watering intervals and provide rain pause alerts, PlantDoc requests access to your approximate or precise device location.
• Processing: Location coordinates are used ephemerally to query live weather data (such as temperature, precipitation risk, and atmospheric humidity).
• Storage: PlantDoc does not track, record, or store your historical movement or location data.
