Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Introduction
Dankbot.ai ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application. We have designed Dankbot.ai with a privacy-first approach, keeping your data on your device whenever possible.
Local-First Data Storage
Dankbot.ai uses a local-first architecture. This means:
- All your plant information, photos, journal entries, and settings are stored locally on your device
- Your data is not uploaded to or stored on external servers
- No account or login is required to use the app
- We do not collect personal information like your name, email, or location
Information Shared for AI Analysis
When you use our AI-powered plant health diagnosis feature:
- Photos and plant diagnostic information are sent to AI services for analysis
- Only the minimum necessary information is shared for diagnosis
- Sensitive details (such as strain names) are filtered before AI analysis
- Images and data sent for analysis are not stored or retained by third-party AI services
- All data transmission uses secure HTTPS encryption
Website Analytics
When you visit our website, we may collect anonymous usage information including browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This information is used for analytics purposes to improve our services and does not identify you personally.
Payment Processing
All purchases and subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We never see, store, or process your credit card or payment information directly. Payment data is handled entirely by Apple and Google using industry-standard security.
Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:
- All communications between the app and AI services use secure HTTPS encryption
- API communications use secure token-based authentication
- Your local data benefits from your device's built-in security features
Your Data Control
You have complete control over your data:
- Your data is stored on your device, giving you full ownership
- You can delete all your data at any time through the Privacy Settings in the app
- Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data from your device
Third-Party Services
Our app uses third-party services for AI processing and payment handling. These services have their own privacy policies:
- AI analysis services (for plant health diagnosis)
- RevenueCat (for subscription management via App Store/Play Store)
Age Restriction
Dankbot.ai is intended for users who are 21 years of age or older. By using this app, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
