Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Our commitment to your privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Unlike most apps, the Niwa app does not collect, store or track your personal data. All your information stays on your device.

This policy covers two things: Part A, the Niwa app for iPhone, and Part B, this website (tryniwa.com). They work differently, so they are described separately.

Summary of key points

Part A: The Niwa app

1. Information we collect and store

A. Data stored locally on your device. All information you enter in the app is stored exclusively on your device:

• Your gardens, layouts, entries, preferences and settings
• Any notes, photos and logs you create, such as your plant diary and seed inventory
• Your usage history and app customizations

Important: we have no access to this data.

B. Data we do not collect. We do not collect or store:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• Location data
• Usage analytics or behavioral tracking
• Any data entered in the app

2. RevenueCat integration (subscription management)

We use RevenueCat solely to manage in-app subscriptions and purchases.

Data processed by RevenueCat:

• Transaction validation data (purchase receipts)
• Subscription status and renewal information
• Platform identifiers (Apple/Google IDs) required for payment processing

Important:

• This minimal information is processed automatically by Apple/Google and RevenueCat
• We do not use RevenueCat data for tracking, analytics or marketing

For more details, review RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

3. Data security

While we do not store your data on our servers, we implement security measures to protect data in transit:

• No server storage: we do not maintain databases or servers containing user data
• Minimal data sharing: only the absolute minimum data necessary is sent to third parties
• No tracking in the app: the app does not implement cookies, tracking pixels or analytics SDKs

Limitations. No method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. While RevenueCat implements robust security measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security for data processed by third parties.

4. Data retention

• Local data: remains on your device until you delete the app or manually clear the data
• RevenueCat: retains transaction data as required for subscription management and legal compliance
• Our servers: not applicable, we do not store any user data

Part B: The website (tryniwa.com)

1. No analytics, no cookies

This website does not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and it does not set cookies.

2. When to plant calculator

When you search for a city, your browser sends the city name and its coordinates directly to Open-Meteo to find the location and read historical weather data. Your IP address is visible to Open-Meteo, as with any web request. We do not receive, store or log what you search for, and the calculation happens in your browser. The frost dates you enter manually never leave your browser.

3. Hosting, fonts and links

The site is served by our hosting provider, which may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and requested page) for security and operations. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which sees your IP address when the font is requested. Links to the App Store lead to Apple, which has its own privacy policy.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data. App data is on your device, so you already have full access.
• Delete your data. Delete the app or clear its data.
• Export your data. Use the app's export function if available.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top and, for significant changes, through an in-app notification.

By using the app or this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
