GardenVibe / AiaVärk · СадВайб
Privacy Policy
A clear explanation of where your garden story lives and how to keep a copy.
Developer and contact
GardenVibe / СадВайб is developed and maintained by Powernolimit. Privacy questions, data requests and requests to delete correspondence can be sent to nomorelimitsapps@gmail.com. GardenVibe is the English name used on this website for the same AiaVärk / СадВайб app; it is not a separate app or service.
Data used by the app
You add plants, varieties, planting locations, tasks, reminders, journal entries and photographs. The app also saves your language, manually entered region and other settings. This data is processed on your device to show your garden, care history, calendar and reminders. Your region is not determined through geolocation.
Local storage
In the Free version, garden data and copies of selected photographs are stored in the app’s local storage. No account or internet connection is needed. The inspected implementation has no proprietary garden server, advertising, analytics or network SDKs; the app itself does not send plants, journal entries or photographs to the developer. This does not cover actions you take through other services, such as exporting to selected cloud storage, opening the website in a browser or sending an email.
Android permissions
POST_NOTIFICATIONS is used to display reminders. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED helps restore the schedule after the phone restarts. AndroidX also uses an internal permission for a protected dynamic receiver. The inspected build has no INTERNET, location, camera, broad storage or whole-gallery permissions. Android Photo Picker grants access to photographs you select, and the Android system document picker grants access to selected files.
Reminders
You create tasks and turn reminders on yourself. Notification permission can be changed in Android settings. Refusing it does not prevent use of the catalogue or journal. Android and battery-saving features can delay delivery; arrival at the exact minute is not guaranteed. Reopen the app after a force stop. On a new phone, system notification permission must be granted separately.
Backups and export
A manually created .sadvibe backup contains garden data, settings, photographs and reminder states. New files are encrypted and protected by your password of at least 12 characters. Encryption uses Google Tink Streaming AEAD (AES-GCM-HKDF), with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 key derivation and 600,000 iterations. This protects the exported archive; it does not mean the entire local app database is additionally encrypted. Your password is not sent to the developer and cannot be recovered through support. Older ZIP backups may be unencrypted.
Save locations and restoration
You choose the export location in the Android system dialog. If you select cloud storage, the chosen provider receives the file and processes it under its own rules. The developer does not receive a copy of that export. Android automatic backup is disabled in the manifest; manual export remains available. Keep a copy outside your phone and keep the password separately. Importing replaces the current garden after validation and confirmation.
Garden data retention and deletion
Data remains in the app until you delete the garden in settings, clear app storage through Android or uninstall the app. The developer cannot remotely delete your local garden because the developer does not receive it. Exported archives must be deleted separately in each save location; uninstalling the app does not delete them. Original photographs in your gallery also remain under your control.
SDKs and paid features
The current implementation uses Kotlin, AndroidX and Google Tink. AndroidX supports the interface and Android functionality; Tink encrypts backups. The inspected dependency set contains no advertising, analytics or payment SDKs. Google Play Billing is not connected. PRO is being prepared for a separate launch; this policy will be updated before payments or other data transfers are introduced.
Website and Cloudflare
The website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes technical request data, including IP addresses and traffic information, to provide and protect the service. Processing and retention terms: Cloudflare Privacy Policy. The website code does not set advertising or analytics cookies, include data-collection forms or load external fonts. Hosting-related processing is separate from the Android app’s local operation.
Support correspondence
When you send an email, you share your address, message and attachments with the developer through email services, including Gmail, where the support mailbox is hosted. This information is used to answer you, investigate problems and handle data requests. Correspondence is retained for up to 12 months after the request is closed, then deleted from the developer-managed mailbox. You may request earlier deletion. Providers’ own copies and technical logs are governed by their terms; this policy does not promise deletion from their systems. Do not send your backup password or unnecessary personal information.
Your requests and policy changes
You can export and delete local data yourself. For access, correction or deletion of information in correspondence, or objections to its processing, contact support. Requests are handled in accordance with applicable rights; we may need to confirm ownership of the email address to protect correspondence. The revision date appears at the top of this page. We will update this description before introducing changes to the app or services that involve new processing.
