Grove does not collect, sell, rent, or share personal information. Tree discoveries, identification progress, and journal entries are intended to remain locally on the user's device.
About Grove
Grove is an educational nature application that combines an offline tree reference guide, a tree identification game, and a personal journal for recording observations.
The application can be used without creating an account, signing in, or submitting personal details.
Personal Information
Grove does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, payment information, contact lists, precise location, or other personally identifiable information.
The developer does not maintain user profiles or an online database of individual users.
Offline Tree Field Guide
Tree descriptions, identification details, illustrations, habitat information, and other educational content are stored within the application or accessed locally.
Viewing field-guide pages does not create a browsing profile and is not reported to the developer.
Identification Game
The identification game may process selected answers, completed questions, scores, streaks, and learning progress only to provide the game experience.
Nature Journal
Grove may allow users to create private journal entries containing titles, notes, dates, tree names, tags, or personal observations.
Users should avoid entering sensitive personal information into journal notes if the device is shared with other people.
Photos and Imported Files
If Grove includes an option to attach or import a photograph, access occurs only after the user chooses that action.
Selected images are used only to display or save the related journal entry on the device. Grove does not automatically scan, upload, or share the user's photo library.
Local Storage
Grove may store bookmarks, completed lessons, quiz results, journal entries, attached images, display preferences, and other app settings in local application storage.
This information generally remains on the device until the user removes it, clears the application's storage, or uninstalls Grove.
Device Permissions
Grove does not require access to contacts, microphone, call history, messages, or precise device location.
If these optional features are not present in the installed version, the related permissions are not required.
Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking
Grove does not display third-party advertisements and does not use advertising identifiers, behavioral tracking, cross-app profiling, or analytics services that collect personal information.
Third-Party Sharing
Grove does not sell, rent, trade, or disclose journal entries, identification results, tree-learning progress, or other personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.
Children's Privacy
Grove does not knowingly collect personal information from children or from any other users.
The educational and journal features follow the same local-data approach for all users.
Data Removal
Because Grove does not maintain user accounts or remote personal-data records, locally stored information can generally be removed by deleting journal entries, clearing the app's data, or uninstalling the application.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if future versions of Grove introduce new features or change how information is handled.
The latest version will remain available on this page.
