Privacy Policy
Banana is made by Jana Remy, an independent developer ("we"). This policy explains what the Banana iPhone app collects, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: we collect only what the app needs to work, we never sell your data, and we don't track you.
If you use Banana without an account
In Guest Mode, everything you log (plants, colors, Patterns and photos) stays on your iPhone. None of it is sent to us.
If you create an account
When you sign in, with email and password or with Google, we store:
- Your email address, to identify your account and let you sign in.
- Your logs: the plants you log, any custom plants you add, and your weekly Patterns, so they sync between your devices.
- Photos you add to a Pattern (paid tier), stored privately so only you can see them.
- Subscription status: whether you have the paid tier, so the right features are unlocked.
We use this data only to run the app. It isn't shown to other users, used for advertising, or sold.
Purchases
Payments are handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card details. We use RevenueCat to check your subscription status with Apple. RevenueCat receives your account's ID and your purchase history for Banana.
What we don't collect
- Your voice. Voice logging uses Apple's on-device speech recognition. Audio never leaves your iPhone.
- Location, contacts, or advertising identifiers.
- Analytics or tracking. Banana contains no ad or analytics SDKs and doesn't track you across other apps or websites.
Reminders, if you turn them on, are scheduled on your iPhone; no notification token is sent to us.
Service providers
We rely on a few providers to run Banana, each using your data only to provide its service to us:
- Supabase: account sign-in, database and private photo storage.
- RevenueCat: subscription status.
- Apple: App Store payments and on-device speech recognition.
- Google: only if you choose Sign in with Google, to confirm your identity.
Keeping and deleting your data
We keep your account data until you delete your account. To delete it, go to Settings in Banana and tap Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, logs and photos from our servers and wipes them from your phone. You can also email support@eatthepattern.app and we'll delete it for you, or send you a copy of your data.
Children
Banana isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the effective date above. For significant changes, we'll also let you know in the app.
