Privacy Policy

Your plants and spatial placements

Plant Care XR does not require an account. Your plant names, notes, care settings, reminder schedules, completion information, catalog links, and app settings are saved in local device storage. The app does not provide an Overlay account-based cloud synchronization or backup service for these plant records.

The app uses your device's spatial tracking and anchor features to place plant markers in your surroundings and find them again. Plant Care XR keeps its placement bindings locally. The headset's operating system manages the underlying tracking and spatial services according to its permissions, settings, and privacy policy.

Depending on your device, platform, app configuration, and settings, your operating system or distribution platform may back up, synchronize, or restore app data through its own services. Those services are governed by the provider's privacy policy and settings. Local storage in Plant Care XR does not mean that a platform cannot create an off-device copy.

Catalog search and photos

Plant names and care-guide text are included with the app. Catalog searches are performed locally; the app does not send the text you type into catalog search to a search service.

Catalog photos are downloaded from figmin.com when needed. Those requests give our hosting service the information needed to deliver a file, such as your IP address, the requested image URL, and browser or device information sent with the request. The image URL identifies a public catalog plant. It does not include your personal plant name, notes, reminder schedule, or completion history. Photos may be cached by your device, and uncached photos may be unavailable without an internet connection.

Plant Care XR does not include a photo-identification or AI upload service. If you separately choose to ask an AI assistant or another service to identify a plant, information you provide to that service is governed by its terms and privacy policy.

Headset and store services

Your headset, operating system, and app store are provided by other companies. They may process information such as purchases, device diagnostics, usage information, or crash reports under their own policies and your settings. Their backup or synchronization services may also process copies of your app data as described above.

Check your headset and store privacy settings for controls over those services, including any device backup options. An app store account may be needed to obtain the app even though Plant Care XR itself does not require an account.

Website visits and support

When you visit the Plant Care XR website or request a catalog photo, the hosting service receives information needed to deliver that content, such as your IP address, requested URL, and browser information. Server and security logs may be used to operate, protect, and troubleshoot the service.

The page code for this Plant Care XR website does not add its own analytics scripts, advertising trackers, or cookies. Its fonts and images are served with the website, and it does not embed a third-party video player. Other websites may have different practices.

If you contact us, we receive your email address and whatever information you choose to send, including any attachments. We use that information to answer your request and address support issues. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information or private notes unless they are needed for your request.

Why we use information

We use website and image-request information to deliver the content you request, maintain and secure our services, and investigate technical problems. We use support correspondence to answer you and resolve your request.

Where European Economic Area or UK data-protection law applies, our bases for this processing are performance of a contract when necessary to provide a service you request; our legitimate interests in delivering, securing, maintaining, and supporting our services; and compliance with legal obligations where applicable. If a future optional feature requires consent, we will request it separately and explain how to withdraw it.

Providing information to support is optional, but we may be unable to answer or investigate a request without sufficient details or a way to reply.

Information sharing and retention

Information you send to support, and website or catalog-photo request information, may be handled by hosting, security, and email service providers as needed to provide those services. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or the security of our services.

Local plant records remain on your device until you delete them or the device removes them. Copies held by a platform's backup service follow that provider's retention and deletion controls. Deleting local data does not necessarily delete an existing platform backup.

Support correspondence and server logs are retained as needed to resolve support requests, investigate operational or security issues, and meet applicable legal obligations. The appropriate retention period depends on those purposes and any unresolved issues or required records. We do not promise permanent storage or recovery of local app data.

Your choices and rights

You can edit or delete plants and their notes and reminders in the app. Device settings may let you clear the app's local data or uninstall it. Those actions can permanently remove your saved information, but a platform may restore a saved copy when you reinstall or change devices. Use your platform's controls to manage or delete its backups separately.

Depending on where you live and the processing involved, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of personal information we hold, or to receive a portable copy. Where processing relies on consent, you may have the right to withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. You may also raise a concern with a relevant privacy authority.

Right to object: where applicable, you may object to processing based on our legitimate interests because of your particular circumstances. Contact us at support@overlaymr.com to make this or another privacy request.

We cannot retrieve or modify plant records that exist only on your device or in a backup controlled by your platform provider.

Future features and policy changes

Overlay may introduce optional features such as accounts, backup, or cloud synchronization in a future release. These would be separate from any backup services already offered by your platform. Before enabling new data practices, we will update this policy, explain what information is involved, and provide any notices, choices, or consent required by applicable law.

We may also update this policy as the app or legal requirements change. The date above identifies the latest revision. A future policy change does not by itself upload your existing local plant records.
