3. Artificial Intelligence and Whisper
Rainbeau Bloom uses Google’s Gemini AI services to support Whisper conversations, image understanding, and plant identification.
When you use AI features, your questions, attached images, relevant conversation history, and plant context may be transmitted securely to our backend and then to Google’s AI services for processing.
AI responses may contain errors. Plant identification and care recommendations should be independently verified when important decisions depend on them.
Rainbeau Bloom currently stores conversation history and certain plant-related memory records to support app functionality. These records do not automatically train or fine-tune a proprietary AI model.
We will update this Privacy Policy and provide appropriate notices or choices before introducing new uses of personal or community information for shared AI training.
4. Community Features and Public Content
Rainbeau Bloom allows users to share plant-related content and interact with other members.
Content you choose to publish in public community areas may be visible to other users. Direct messages are intended for their conversation participants and authorized service operations.
Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information in community posts, photographs, or messages.
Other users may retain copies or screenshots of content you have shared, even after you delete it from Rainbeau Bloom.
5. Camera, Photos, and Device Permissions
With your permission, Rainbeau Bloom may access your camera or selected photographs to identify plants, analyze plant health, or attach images to conversations and posts.
We process images you choose to capture or submit through these features.
You can manage camera and photo permissions through your device settings.
Other permissions, such as notifications or microphone access, are requested only when relevant features use them.
6. Third-Party Services
We use service providers to operate Rainbeau Bloom, including:
Google Firebase: Authentication, database services, file storage, backend functions, and application security.
Google Gemini: AI-powered plant identification, visual analysis, and conversational responses.
RevenueCat: Subscription entitlement and purchase management.
Apple: Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases, and subscription billing.
Wikimedia Commons and iNaturalist: Botanical reference images and related publicly available information.
These services may process information necessary to perform their functions, subject to applicable agreements and privacy policies.
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
7. Data Storage and Security
We use Firebase and related cloud infrastructure to store and process application information.
We use measures such as authenticated access, database security rules, server-side authorization, and application integrity checks to help protect user information.
However, no internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security.
Your information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence, subject to applicable legal and contractual safeguards.
8. Data Retention
We retain account information, plant records, conversations, and other application data while needed to provide the services you use, unless you delete the information or your account, or a longer retention period is required by law.
Some older chat messages may be removed through application cleanup processes. Certain operational records, security logs, and backup copies may remain for limited periods according to applicable service-provider retention schedules.
Temporary AI input files and other operational data are subject to backend cleanup processes. We are reviewing and improving these processes to minimize unnecessary retention.
9. Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your Rainbeau Bloom account within the app:
Settings → Account → Delete Account
After you confirm your request and complete any required identity verification, we initiate deletion of your account and associated personal information.
The process is designed to remove account credentials, plant collections, care records, personal images, Whisper conversations, and user-owned content, subject to applicable exceptions.
Some shared records may be anonymized, for example by replacing your identity with “Deleted Grower,” to preserve other participants’ records. Messages authored by other participants remain their information.
Deletion may be processed asynchronously. Some limited security, deletion-audit, backup, or legally required records may be retained for an appropriate period.
Deleting your Rainbeau Bloom account does not automatically cancel an active Apple subscription.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at:
Certain purchase and transaction records may also remain with Apple or RevenueCat under their respective policies.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain information about your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
You can manage certain account information, plant records, community content, and device permissions through the App.
