1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

a. Information You Provide

• Account information (if you create an account): name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
• Device-related information you voluntarily enter (e.g., device names or custom settings).

b. Automatically Collected Information

• Bluetooth Data: The App uses Bluetooth to discover, connect to, and control GrowPros devices. We may collect device identifiers, connection status, and basic operational data necessary for device management.
• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and App version.
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the App (e.g., features used, time spent in the App).
• Location Data (iOS only): Approximate location may be required by the operating system to enable Bluetooth scanning and device discovery. We do not store precise location data.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as health data, financial information, or precise continuous location tracking.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain the App and its core functionality (Bluetooth device discovery, connection, and control).
• To improve the App's performance, stability, and user experience.
• To communicate with you regarding App updates, technical support, or important notices.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App (e.g., cloud hosting or analytics), under strict confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share information.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Device connection logs and usage data are typically retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

You can manage Bluetooth and location permissions at any time through your device settings. You may also contact us to exercise your rights.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
