Rooted — plant care app. Last updated 24 October 2026.
Rooted is a plant-care app. This page explains what we collect when you use it, why, and who else touches it.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Name & email | Account creation and sign-in |
| Plant photos | Identification, health scans, and your plant gallery |
| Plant records | Species, nicknames, care guides, journal entries you save |
| Chat messages | Your conversation history with the plant-care assistant |
| Reminder schedule | Watering and care notifications you set |
| Feature usage counts | Enforcing free-tier monthly limits |
| Subscription status | Knowing whether Premium features should unlock |
We don't collect your precise location or your contacts. We don't run ads and we don't sell data.
When you identify a plant, run a health scan, or ask the assistant a question, that photo or message is sent to our server, which forwards it to Google's Gemini API to generate a response. It is not used to build an advertising profile of you. The assistant is scoped to the plant you're asking about and its care.
Photos live in a private storage bucket, not a public URL. The app generates a short-lived signed link each time it shows you one. Only your account can retrieve your own photos.
None of them use your data for their own purposes; they process it only to provide the service to us.
You can delete your account at any time from inside the app: Account → Delete account. This permanently removes your profile, plant records, photos, journal entries, reminders and chat history from our systems. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.
Rooted is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under that age.
If this policy changes in a way that meaningfully affects how your data is handled, we'll update the date above and, where required, notify you in the app.
