Leafic Privacy Policy

last updated: May 24, 2026

The short version

Leafic is built to keep your garden private to your phone. We don't have accounts. We don't run servers. We don't track you. We don't sell anything. We don't use analytics.

The only data that leaves your device is the photo you choose to diagnose, which we send to Google's Gemini API to get an answer back. Google doesn't store those photos or use them to train their AI (we're on the paid tier where that's explicitly excluded). Everything else — your plant journal, your photos, your notes — lives on your iPhone in storage no one else can access.

If you delete the app, your data goes with it.

If you have any questions, write to ***[email protected].***

Who we are

Leafic is made by Mehad Nadeem, an independent developer based in Ireland. This policy covers the Leafic iOS app (bundle identifier com.leafic.app) on the Apple App Store.

What we collect

Data	Where it lives	Why
Plant photos you take	Your iPhone's app storage	So you can see them in your plant journal
Plant photos at moment of diagnosis	Sent to Google Gemini API for processing, not stored on any Leafic-owned server	So the AI can identify the plant and write a diagnosis
Your skill level setting	Your iPhone's app storage	So advice adapts to your experience level
Your approximate location, if you grant permission	Your iPhone's app storage, included as a city-level text label in API requests	So advice fits your climate and season
Your saved plants, notes, action history	Your iPhone's app storage	So the journal works across sessions

What we do NOT collect

Your name, email, phone number, or any contact information
Your Apple ID, IDFA, IDFV, or any unique tracking identifier
Your browsing history outside the app
Your contacts, calendar, or any other app's data
Analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or usage statistics
Cookies, web beacons, or device fingerprints
Anything beyond what you explicitly point your camera at
