Water Reminder is made by Nico Haindl ("we", "us"). Email: [email protected]

What stays on your device

Everything you enter in Water Reminder is stored only inside the app on your iPhone:

• your plants, with the names you give them, their species, room, notes and watering interval
• when you watered them
• photos you take or choose, which the app scales down and keeps inside the app
• your settings

The home screen widget reads the same data on the same device. None of it is synced to iCloud or sent to any server of ours, and we have no copy of it.

If you use iCloud Backup or back up your iPhone to a computer, iOS may include the app's data in that backup, as it does for most apps. That backup is managed by you and Apple, not by us.

Reminders

Reminders are scheduled locally by iOS on your iPhone. No server is involved, and nothing about your plants leaves the device for them.

Camera and photo library

The app uses the camera or your photo library only when you choose to add a photo. Both are optional. A plant can be added without any photo.

Sprout, the AI assistant

Sprout is an optional feature of Water Reminder Pro. It can identify a plant from a photo and answer a set of fixed questions about a plant. Sprout is the only part of the app that uses an internet connection. If you never use Sprout, no data ever leaves your device.

What is sent when you use Sprout

When Sprout identifies a plant from a photo:

• a copy of that one photo, scaled down to at most 512 pixels on its longest side and redrawn without location or camera metadata
