Privacy Policy

Overview

SASYA is a plant identification app designed with your privacy as the top priority. This policy explains how your data is handled — spoiler: we don't collect any data, and everything stays on your device.

Key Privacy Features

• All data stays on your device — no cloud storage, no external servers
• Camera images are not stored — processed and immediately discarded
• No internet required — the plant AI runs completely offline
• Local encryption — your plant collection is encrypted on-device
• No third-party tracking — we don't share data with advertisers
• No monetization of data — free app, no ads, no data selling

What Data SASYA Stores

SASYA does not collect or transmit any data — there are no analytics, no crash reporting, and no accounts. The items below are stored only on your device.

Camera Images (Not Stored)

When you use SASYA to identify plants:

• Camera frames are processed by the AI model on your phone
• Frames are not saved, uploaded, or cached
• Frames are discarded immediately after processing
• You must grant camera permission in your device settings to use this feature

Plant Scan History (Local Storage)

SASYA stores the following on your device to build your plant collection:

• Plant identification results (species name, confidence score)
• Scan timestamps and location metadata (if you enabled location)
• Thumbnail images of scanned plants (stored locally only)
• Your notes and tags for each plant

This data is only stored on your device using an encrypted SQLite database. It is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

Game & Progression Data (Local Storage)

If you engage with SASYA's gamification features:

• XP points and level progression
• Badges and achievements earned
• Daily, weekly, and seasonal quest progress
• Streaks and challenges completed

All stored locally in your encrypted database.

How Your Data Is Used

Your plant collection is used only to build your personal herbarium and show stats — entirely on your device.

We do not collect analytics, crash data, or any information about you, so there is nothing for us to sell, share, or monetize. We never sell or share your data. Ever.

Data Security

Local Storage Encryption

Your plant collection is encrypted on your device using SQLCipher, the industry-standard encryption library for mobile apps. Even if someone gains physical access to your phone, they cannot read your data without the encryption key.

No Cloud Backup

SASYA does not back up your data to any cloud service. Your collection stays entirely on your device and under your control.

Third-Party Libraries

SASYA uses the following libraries, none of which access your personal data:

• Ultralytics YOLOv8 — plant detection model (runs locally)
• TensorFlow Lite — plant classification model (runs locally)
• Flutter Framework — UI framework (privacy-neutral)
• SQLCipher — database encryption (local only)

These libraries do not collect data, track users, or communicate with external servers.

Your Privacy Rights

You have full control over your data:

• View your data: all your plant records are visible in the app
• Delete your data: clear all app data from Settings → Clear Data
• Revoke permissions: disable camera access anytime in device settings
• Uninstall: removes the app and all associated data

Children's Privacy

SASYA is suitable for all ages. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app does not require account creation, login, or any personal information at all.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy in the app and updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use of SASYA after changes means you accept the new policy.
