At InspireGreen, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you sign in using Manus OAuth, we receive basic profile information including your name, email address, and a unique account identifier (OpenID). This information is used solely to create and manage your account on InspireGreen.
When you post a comment on our blog, the text of that comment and your display name are stored in our database and displayed publicly on the site.
Photos You Upload
When you use the plant identification or room analysis features, the photos you submit are uploaded to secure cloud storage and sent to our AI analysis service. Photos are stored to allow you to review your scan history. We do not use your photos to train AI models, and we do not share them with third parties except as necessary to perform the analysis.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we may collect standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve performance. We do not sell this data.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and maintain your user account
- Provide plant identification, disease detection, and care recommendation features
- Store and display your scan history when you are signed in
- Display your name alongside comments you post on the blog
- Improve the accuracy and performance of the site
- Respond to support inquiries or feedback you submit
We do not use your personal information for advertising purposes, and we do not sell or rent your data to any third party.
3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers. Photos you upload are stored in encrypted cloud object storage. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
4. Data Retention
We retain your account information and scan history for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. You may delete individual scans from your history at any time through the History page. If you wish to have your entire account and associated data deleted, please contact us through the About page.
Comments posted on the blog are retained until you delete them yourself or until they are removed by an administrator in accordance with our Terms of Use.
5. Cookies and Session Data
InspireGreen uses a secure, HTTP-only session cookie to keep you signed in after authentication. This cookie does not track your activity across other websites and is not used for advertising. It is automatically cleared when you log out or when the session expires.
We may also use analytics cookies to understand aggregate site usage patterns. These cookies do not identify you personally.
6. Third-Party Services
InspireGreen uses the following third-party services to operate:
- Manus OAuth — for secure user authentication
- AI language model services — to analyze plant photos and generate care guidance
- Cloud object storage — to store uploaded photos securely
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We share only the minimum information necessary for each service to function.
7. Children's Privacy
InspireGreen 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 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it promptly.
