YardGuard ("we", "us") is a mobile app that identifies yard weeds and plants from photos and provides removal instructions or care guides. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect the minimum needed to run the app, we don't sell your data, and we don't track you across other apps or websites.
| Data | Why we collect it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Creating and signing into your account. | Our authentication provider (Supabase). |
| Photos you submit | Identifying the plant. Photos are sent to our identification partners (see below), processed, and not stored on our servers. | Processed transiently; your identification history (including images) is stored locally on your device. |
| Usage counters | Enforcing the free and Pro identification limits (e.g., number of submissions this month). | Supabase, linked to your account. |
| Subscription status | Knowing whether your account has YardGuard Pro. | RevenueCat and Apple process purchases; we store only a premium yes/no flag. |
We do not collect your location, contacts, or advertising identifiers, and the app contains no ad networks or cross-app tracking.

Your account data (email, usage counters, subscription flag) is kept while your account exists. Your identification history lives only on your device and is removed when you delete the app.
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing yardguardsupport@gmail.com from the address you signed up with. We'll complete the deletion within 30 days.
YardGuard is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If we make material changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
