PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: December 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Gardinite ("Gardinite", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile applications, website, and any related services (together, the "Service").

By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

Gardinite provides digital products and services through its mobile app(s) and website.

When we say:

  • "Service" – we mean the Gardinite app, website, and related features.
  • "User", "you" – we mean anyone who accesses or uses the Service.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us:

2. Information we collect

We aim to collect only what we need to operate and improve the Service. The information we collect depends on how you use the Service.

2.1 Information you provide directly

You may give us information when you:

  • Create an account or profile
  • Contact us for support
  • Send feedback or requests
  • Use features that involve entering or uploading data (for example: notes, images, or other content, depending on the app)

This can include:

  • Name or nickname
  • Email address
  • Any messages you send to us
  • Any content you upload or create inside the Service

You choose how much information to share. If you choose not to provide certain information, some features may not work.

2.2 Usage and analytics data

When you use the Service, we may automatically collect some information about how you use it, such as:

  • Which screens or pages you visit
  • Buttons you tap or features you use
  • Session duration and frequency of use
  • Crash reports and performance data

We use this mainly in aggregated form to understand what works, what doesn't, and how to improve the Service.

2.3 Device and technical information

We may also collect technical details about the device and software you use, for example:

  • Device type (phone, tablet, etc.)
  • Operating system and version
  • App version
  • Language and region settings
  • Anonymized identifiers (such as an advertising ID or similar)

This helps us keep the Service working well across different devices and platforms.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

If you use our website, we may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in
  • Remember your preferences
  • Measure traffic and usage patterns

You can usually manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. If you disable certain cookies, parts of the website may not work properly.

4. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Providing and operating the Service
  • Improving the design, performance, and features of the Service
  • Fixing bugs and technical issues
  • Responding to your messages and support requests
  • Communicating with you about updates, changes, or important notices related to the Service
  • Protecting the Service, our users, and our rights (for example, detecting abuse or misuse)

We do not sell your personal information.

5. When we share information

We may share information in limited situations, including:

5.1 Service providers

We may share information with trusted third-party providers that help us run the Service, for example:

  • Analytics services
  • Error and crash reporting tools
  • Cloud hosting or storage providers
  • Payment and subscription processors (where applicable)

These providers only get the information they need to perform their tasks and are expected to handle it securely.

5.2 Legal and safety reasons

We may share information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or government request
  • Enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements
  • Protect the safety, rights, or property of Gardinite, our users, or others
  • Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues

5.3 Business changes

If Gardinite is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar business change, information may be transferred as part of that process. In such a case, we will take steps to ensure that any new owner continues to handle your information in line with this Privacy Policy (or a similar policy).

6. Third-party services

The Service may include or link to third-party content and services, such as:

  • External websites and links
  • App stores
  • Analytics and advertising networks
  • Payment providers

These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

Gardinite does not control how third-party services handle data and is not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.

7. Data retention

We keep your information only for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • Operating and improving the Service
  • Complying with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements
  • Resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements

If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so where possible and reasonable, though we may retain certain data if we are required or allowed to do so by law, or for legitimate business purposes (for example, security, preventing abuse, or keeping necessary records).

8. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. By using the Service, you understand and accept these risks.

You are responsible for keeping your device and any account credentials secure.

9. Children's privacy

Gardinite is not intended for children under 13 years of age (or any higher minimum age required in your region).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable minimum age, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@gardinite.com.

10. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as:

  • The right to access the information we hold about you
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate information
  • The right to request deletion of certain information
  • The right to object to or limit certain types of processing
  • The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, or to ask questions about your information, you can contact us at:

Support: support@gardinite.com

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Some rights may be limited or not apply in certain situations, as allowed by law.

You can also:

  • Uninstall the app from your device to stop using the Service on that device
  • Adjust settings on your device (for example, permissions for camera, photos, notifications, etc.)
  • Manage cookies in your browser settings (for the website)

11. International data transfers

Because technology and the internet are global, information we collect may be stored and processed in different locations. These locations may have different data protection laws than the laws in your region.

We take steps to protect your information in line with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where it is processed.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we do, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. In some cases, we may also show a notice in the app or on the website.

By continuing to use the Service after changes take effect, you agree to the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the Service and, if applicable, uninstall the app.
