Canopydew: Greenhouse Lab

Privacy Policy

Effective August 14, 2026

Summary

Canopydew does not require an account and does not include advertising, third-party analytics, tracking, or a developer-operated network service. The app is designed to work offline.

Data stored on your device

Greenhouse-zone names, crop context, hourly climate entries, generic planning bands, sensor records, calibration dates, operating events, notes, and app preferences are stored locally in the app's private container. This information is used only to provide planning, calculation, review, persistence, import, and export features.

Files you select

Canopydew reads a JSON or CSV file only after you select it with Apple's document picker. The developer does not receive the file. Access to the selected external file ends when the import finishes.

Photos, location, camera, microphone, contacts, and sensors

Canopydew does not request access to Photos, precise location, the camera, microphone, contacts, Bluetooth, Health data, Home data, or greenhouse sensors. Altitude is an optional value you enter manually; the app does not read device location.

Exports

When you choose an export, Canopydew creates the selected PDF, JSON, or CSV files and presents the standard iOS share sheet. The app does not transmit those files on its own. A destination you choose, such as Files or Mail, handles the exported information under that destination's privacy practices.

External method links

Canopydew includes optional links to FAO, Cornell University, and Penn State Extension resources. A link opens only after you select it. Those websites receive ordinary browser requests under their own privacy practices; Canopydew does not send your project data with the request.

Data collection

The developer does not receive, collect, sell, or use greenhouse plans from the app. Apple may process App Store purchase, crash, and diagnostic information under Apple's own policies and your device settings.

Deleting data

Delete individual zones in Canopydew, reset the sample library from the app, or delete Canopydew from the device to remove its local app container. Files you previously exported must be removed from their saved destinations separately.

Children

Canopydew is a technical planning and recordkeeping tool. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.

Changes

If the app's data practices change, this policy will be updated before the changed behavior is released.
