Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Stargazer Apps handles information when you use BloomLog, a plant care and garden log for Android. The Android application package is com.stargazer.bloomlog.

Information stored on your device

BloomLog stores the plants, care tasks and history, notes, room and location labels, plant photos, reminder settings, and app preferences that you create in the app. This information is saved on your device and is used to show your care schedule, calendar, plant history, and insights. BloomLog does not require an account.

Photos and camera

When you choose to add a plant photo, BloomLog opens the camera or your photo library using Android's standard picker. Camera access is requested only when you take a picture. Selected photos are copied into the app's private storage on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers.

Notifications and reminders

If you enable notifications, BloomLog schedules care reminders on your device for the next 14 days. Reminder text shows the care task and, where applicable, the plant involved. Reminders are created and delivered by Android on your device; BloomLog does not use a remote push service. You can turn reminders off in BloomLog's settings or in Android settings at any time.

Backups and sharing

BloomLog can export your data as a JSON backup file and import that file again. Exporting creates the file on your device and opens Android's share sheet, so you decide where the backup is saved or sent. The backup contains your plants, care records, settings, and photo references. Once you share a backup, the app or service you choose handles that copy under its own policy. Please keep backup files private, because they contain your plant and care records.

Purchases and subscriptions

BloomLog offers optional Pro access through Google Play, including annual and monthly subscriptions and a one-time lifetime option. Some plans may include a free trial. Prices, billing periods, and trial terms are shown in the app and on the Google Play purchase screen before you buy. Purchases are processed by Google Play.

BloomLog uses RevenueCat to check whether your Pro access is active, to restore past purchases, and to show your subscription status in the app. RevenueCat processes an anonymous app user identifier that it generates for your app installation, your purchase history (including purchase and entitlement records), and basic app and device information needed to provide this service. RevenueCat may also use this subscription information for analytics about purchases. BloomLog does not receive your full payment card details. For more information, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.

Online plant images

Some sample and default plant images are loaded over the internet from image hosts, including Google user content and Unsplash, when they are displayed. Loading an image sends a normal request to that host, which can include your IP address and standard connection information. Those hosts handle the request under their own policies.

Advertising and analytics

BloomLog does not show advertisements or include advertising SDKs. Apart from the subscription analytics that RevenueCat provides for purchases, as described above, it does not include analytics SDKs. We do not use your plant records for advertising or tracking.

Service providers

BloomLog relies on Google Play for purchases and subscription management, RevenueCat for entitlement checks and purchase restoration, and the image hosts described above. Each provider processes information under its own privacy policy. BloomLog does not operate a server that stores your plant records.

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell your personal information. Information leaves your device only when you share a backup, when you buy or restore a purchase, when plant images are loaded from the hosts above, or when disclosure is required by law or needed to protect the security of the app and its users.

Data retention and deletion

Your plant data remains on your device until you delete it in BloomLog, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. You can delete plants and care records inside the app. Backup files and copies you shared are separate and must be deleted where they were saved or sent. Android backup and device transfer features may copy app data according to your device and Google account settings. Purchase records are kept by Google Play and RevenueCat as needed to provide and verify purchases. To request deletion of the RevenueCat record linked to your purchases, contact us and include your Google Play order ID if you have one. We will review the request and ask RevenueCat to delete the matching customer record where we can identify it. Google Play keeps its own purchase records under its policies.

Children

BloomLog is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the app, contact us so we can review the request.

Security

Your records are kept in the app's private storage on your device, which other apps cannot normally access. Requests to Google Play, RevenueCat, and image hosts use encrypted connections. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so please protect your device with a screen lock and take care with any backup files you share.

International processing

Google, RevenueCat, and the image hosts described above may process information in countries other than the one where you live.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to object to certain processing. Because BloomLog stores most data on your device and has no accounts, we may not be able to see the records you ask about. Contact us and we will help where we can. For purchase data, you may also contact Google or RevenueCat directly.
