your data.

mossly is a quiet app. it helps you remember your plants. we collect only what's necessary to make that work, and nothing more. last updated june 2026

what we don't collect

ai features

mossly uses Google Gemini to power its AI features: plant identification, plant checkups, and care notes and guidance. to do this, your plant photos, plant details, the care context you add, and the related prompts are sent to Google Gemini to generate a response.

mossly uses a paid Gemini API tier. under Google's Gemini API terms for paid services, Google states that it does not use these prompts, files, or responses to improve its products. Google may retain prompts and responses for a limited period to detect abuse and enforce its policies. this data is also subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

photos

cover photos you choose for your plants are stored on your device and, if you're signed in, synced to your account in our database. we use Pexels to suggest plant photos. your search queries are sent to Pexels' API under their Privacy Policy.

location

mossly does not use precise GPS. your garden's location is approximate and city-level, used only for local weather and the care guidance that depends on it.

push notifications

if you enable reminders, we store your notification preference and send a daily watering reminder via our server. no personal data beyond your device's push token is used for this purpose.

third-party services

data retention

your data is kept for as long as your account is active. if you delete your account, your plant data is permanently removed from our servers within 30 days.

your rights

you can at any time:

children

mossly is not directed at children under 13. we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

changes to this policy

if we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. continued use of mossly after changes means you accept the updated policy.
