NurturePlant Care

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026

What Nurture stores

Nurture keeps the following on your device, in its own private storage:

• The plants you add — their names, any notes you write, and the spaces you file them under
• Photos you choose to add to a plant, copied into the app's private storage
• Your care schedules — what needs doing, how often, and at what time
• Your care history — when each task was completed

What Nurture collects about you

Nurture itself collects nothing. There is no account to create and no sign-in. Nurture has no server of its own, no analytics, and no crash reporting. Your plants, photos, notes, and care history never leave your device unless you deliberately export them.

Advertising is the exception. See the section below.

Backups you create

Nurture can create a backup file containing all of your plants, schedules, history, and photos. This happens only when you ask for it.

You choose where that file goes — a folder on your device, or another app through the share sheet. Once you have shared or saved it, the file is outside Nurture's control, and how it is stored is governed by wherever you put it. Nurture never uploads a backup anywhere on its own.

Permissions

Nurture asks for these only when the relevant feature is used, and each one is optional:

• Notifications — to remind you when a plant needs care. Declining means the app still works; you simply see due tasks when you open it rather than being reminded.
• Camera — only if you choose to photograph a plant.
• Photos — only if you choose a picture from your library. Nurture reads the single image you select and copies it into its own storage; it does not browse your library.
• Run at startup — so reminders survive a restart. Without it, reminders are restored the next time you open the app.

Advertising

Nurture is free, and is paid for by advertisements shown on the Today and Plants screens. They are supplied by Google AdMob, and never appear while you are recording or completing care.

To show them, the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects information about your device, which typically includes:

• Your device's advertising identifier
• Device and app information, such as model, operating system version, and app version
• Approximate location, derived from your IP address
• Interactions with the advertisements themselves

This information goes to Google, not to Nurture. It is used to select and measure the advertisements you see. Nurture's developer never receives it, and never sees anything about your plants, because that information is never sent anywhere.

Google's handling of it is governed by their own policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use their services

Your choices. If you are somewhere that requires consent for personalised advertising — the EEA and the UK among others — Nurture asks before any advertisement is shown, using Google's consent form, and you can change your answer later from the app's settings. Wherever you are, your device also offers controls over the advertising identifier: on Android, under Settings → Privacy → Ads, you can reset it or opt out of personalisation entirely.

Children

Nurture is not directed at children and is not intended for them. It has no age-gate; if you are responsible for a child using it, note that the advertising described above applies to them as it does to anyone.

Deleting your information

Everything you record is stored on your device:

• Deleting a plant removes it, its schedules, its history, and its photo
• Uninstalling Nurture removes all of it

Nurture's developer holds nothing about you to delete. Information collected for advertising is held by Google; their policy above describes how to manage or remove it, and resetting your advertising identifier severs it from your device.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published here with a new date. If a change affects what Nurture does with your information, the change will be described in the app's release notes.
