  • AI tool inputs: when you type a question into the AI Plant Doctor, your text is sent to our backend to generate a response. We do not permanently store these prompts.
  • Analytics: we may use privacy-friendly analytics (e.g., Google Analytics or Plausible) to measure traffic, page views, and general usage patterns.
  • Cookies: our site may use cookies to remember preferences or improve performance. You can disable cookies in your browser if you prefer.
