BeeSanctuary Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 Aug 2026

BeeSanctuary (“the app”) is built to help you find bee-friendly plants. This page explains exactly what data the app uses, and — just as importantly — what it doesn’t.

What the app collects

Location. The app uses your device’s location to detect what season it currently is where you are, and to show you plants likely to be in bloom near you right now. Location is used on-device only — we do not store your location on any server, and it is never associated with your identity.

Camera / Photos. If you use the photo-identification feature, the photo you take or select is sent securely to our plant-identification service to find a match. We do not keep a copy of your photos after identification is complete, and photos are never used for any purpose other than identifying the plant in that single request.

Favorites and search history. When you save a plant or search for something, that information is stored locally on your device only (using standard on-device storage). It is never sent to us, never uploaded to a server, and is deleted automatically if you delete the app.

What the app does NOT do

  • We do not require or offer account creation or login of any kind
  • We do not collect your name, email, or any personal contact information
  • We do not use any analytics or tracking services
  • We do not sell or share any data with advertisers
  • We do not build a profile of you across sessions or devices

Third-party services we use

Plant identification. Photo identification is powered by a third-party plant recognition service. Only the photo itself is sent, solely to return an identification result — see the note above on photos.

Plant database. The bee-friendly plant data shown in the app is served from our own database, sourced from real, published scientific research. Browsing this data does not send any personal information about you.

Children’s privacy

BeeSanctuary is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
