Privacy Policy

At ZenGrove ("we", "our", or "us"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in minimal data collection. We only collect the information necessary to provide and improve the ZenGrove experience.

• Account Information: If you choose to create an account to sync your Grove across devices, we collect your email address and a hashed password.
• Usage Data: We collect anonymous, aggregated data about how you use the app (e.g., timer duration, species planted, app crashes) to improve performance.
• Local Storage: Your focus history, unlocked species, and coin balance are primarily stored locally on your device.
• Device Information: We may collect device type, operating system version, and app version for diagnostic purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the ZenGrove application
• Sync your progress across devices (if you have an account)
• Diagnose and fix technical issues
• Send important notifications (e.g., session reminders, if enabled)
• Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve features

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

3. Third-Party SDKs and Services

ZenGrove uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated analytics to understand how users interact with the app. No personally identifiable information is shared.
• Crash Reporting: We use crash reporting tools to identify and fix bugs. These tools collect device info and stack traces but not personal data.
• Tree Planting Partners: When you redeem coins for real tree planting, we work with vetted reforestation NGOs. Only aggregate planting data (total trees) is shared — no personal user data.

4. Data Retention

If you delete your ZenGrove account, we will delete your personal information from our servers within 30 days. Local data (stored on your device) is deleted when you uninstall the app.

5. Children's Privacy

ZenGrove is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS) and secure storage practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Opt out of certain data processing activities

To exercise these rights, contact us at product@zeplik.com.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or by email. Continued use of ZenGrove after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
