Privacy Policy

Revision announced: August 29, 2026 · Effective: August 29, 2026

Plantri (the “App”) values your privacy and complies with the applicable laws of the Republic of Korea, including the Personal Information Protection Act. This policy explains what information the App collects and how it is used, stored, and deleted.

1. Personal information we collect

1.1 Sign-up and sign-in

1.2 Information you enter

1.3 Device permissions

PermissionPurposeStorage
Photos/CameraSelect photos for memos, journals, and schedule backgroundsStored on the device by default; backed up to Firebase Storage only after separate consent
CalendarSynchronize schedules with the device calendarStored in the device’s standard calendar storage
NotificationsDeliver morning briefings and schedule alertsOnly notification tokens are stored on the device

1.4 Automatically collected technical information

1.5 Firebase Analytics

Only when you optionally consent, we collect screen views, feature-use events, App and device information, language/country, and a signed-in user’s Firebase UID to improve the App. We do not collect the body text of journals, schedules, memos, or goals for analytics; account profile information; or advertising identifiers such as IDFA. You can use every core feature without consenting and can change this choice at any time under Settings → Usage Analytics.

We do not track users for advertising across other companies’ apps or websites, and we do not display Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission prompt.

1.6 Crash diagnostics (Firebase Crashlytics)

Release builds use Google Firebase Crashlytics to reproduce and fix crashes and other application errors only when you optionally consent. This choice can be changed together with Firebase Analytics in Settings.

We do not set email address, name, or Firebase UID as a Crashlytics user identifier, and we do not intentionally attach the body text of journals, schedules, memos, or goals to crash reports.

1.7 Optional profile survey

We may optionally ask for your age range and gender to understand service use and improve features. You may skip the survey without losing access to any feature. Responses are stored only as Firebase Analytics user properties and in your own account data under users/{uid}, can be edited under Settings → Profile Survey, and are deleted with your account.

1.8 AI feature request data (separate consent)

Only when you invoke an AI assistant, goal-planning, coaching, or insight feature and separately consent, we send your request and the limited schedule, goal, or journal context needed for that feature to the OpenAI API. We do not send your email address or Firebase UID.
