Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 February 2026

1. Overview

SolSow ("the App") is a gardening information application that provides location-aware planting guidance. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information. The App is developed and maintained in Australia.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Location Data

The App requests coarse location access (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) to determine your approximate growing zone and provide region-appropriate planting recommendations. Location data is processed entirely on your device to match against bundled growing zone definitions. Your location is never transmitted to any external server.

2.2 Wallet Information

If you choose to use the optional Sign In With Solana (SIWS) feature, your public wallet address is stored locally on your device using Android EncryptedSharedPreferences. The App verifies Seeker Genesis Token (SGT) ownership via the public Solana blockchain. We never have access to your private keys, seed phrase, or wallet funds.

2.3 App Preferences

Your preferences (selected growing zone, notification frequency, favorite plants, display settings, disclaimer acceptance) are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers. Specifically, we do not use:

All data remains entirely on your device.

4. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored locally on your device using:

No data is transmitted to or stored on external servers, except as described in Section 5. If you uninstall the App, all locally stored data is permanently deleted by the Android operating system.

8. International Users

The App is available globally through the Solana Seeker dApp Store. As all data is stored locally on your device and no personal data is transmitted to external servers, there are no cross-border data transfers to consider.
