PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

Welcome to Nature ID ("we," "our," or "us"), developed by Wizlab. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application Nature ID(the "App").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

TL;DR: Your photos are processed and immediately discarded — never stored on any server. Your nature journal and location data stay on your device. We don't track or sell your data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Images (Processed, Not Stored)

When you use Nature ID to identify a specimen, your photo is sent to our secure Cloudflare Worker proxy, which forwards it to Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash AI model for identification.

2.2 Location Data (Optional, Local Only)

Nature ID optionally uses CoreLocation to tag your identifications with location data for the map view feature. This data is:

• Stored locally on your device via SwiftData
• Never transmitted to our servers
• Only collected when you grant location permission
• Used solely for the map view and journal features

You can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings.

2.3 Nature Journal / Collection Data (Local Only)

Your identification history, saved specimens, and journal entries are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. This data is:

• Stored entirely on your device
• NOT transmitted to any server
• Deleted when you uninstall the App

2.4 Subscription Information

Subscriptions are managed by RevenueCat using anonymous user IDs. We receive:

• An anonymous RevenueCat user ID (no personally identifiable information)
• Subscription status (active/expired) for feature gating

We do NOT have access to your payment details, credit card information, or Apple ID credentials. All payment processing is handled by Apple via the App Store.

2.5 Analytics

Nature ID uses TelemetryDeck for privacy-friendly analytics. TelemetryDeck:

• Does NOT collect personal data
• Does NOT use cookies or fingerprinting
• Only collects aggregate, anonymous usage signals (e.g., app launches, feature usage counts)
• Is fully GDPR compliant

3. AI Processing Disclaimer

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Process images for nature identification via AI
• Display identification results with danger level assessments
• Maintain your local nature journal and collection
• Show your discoveries on the map view
• Verify your subscription status for feature access
• Enforce daily identification limits (rate limiting)
• Improve the App through anonymous, aggregate analytics

We do NOT use your data for advertising, marketing, profiling, or any purpose other than providing the App's core functionality to you.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is protected through multiple layers:

• Images: Never stored — processed in memory and immediately discarded
• Journal data: Stored locally via SwiftData, encrypted at rest by iOS
• Location data: Stored locally, protected by your device passcode/Face ID/Touch ID
• API communication: All data transmitted over HTTPS encryption
• Rate limiting: Uses anonymous user IDs with daily expiration

All locally stored data is deleted when you uninstall the App.

6. Third-Party Services

6.1 Cloudflare Workers (API Proxy)

Our stateless API proxy runs on Cloudflare Workers. It forwards identification requests and does not store any user data. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

6.2 Google Gemini (AI Identification)

Images are processed by Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model for identification. See Google's Privacy Policy.

6.3 RevenueCat (Subscriptions)

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Delete: Remove individual identifications or delete all data by uninstalling
• Control Permissions: Grant or revoke camera and location access in iOS Settings at any time
• Manage Subscription: Cancel or modify your subscription via App Store settings

8. Children's Privacy

Nature ID is rated 4+ and may be used by individuals of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App does not require account creation and all data is stored locally on the device. Subscription purchases require parental consent for minors.
