Grove
Grove Privacy Policy
Grove is a habit tracker published by Isha Sharma.
Data we collect
None. Everything you enter (habits, check-ins, categories, reminders, settings) is stored only in a database on your device. Grove has no account system and does not send your data to us or to anyone else. It contains no ads, analytics or tracking.
Permissions
Grove asks for notification permission to show your reminders, and optionally the "Alarms & reminders" permission so reminders fire on time. It does not access your contacts, location, camera, microphone or files, other than the backup files or folder you choose to export, import or save to.
Backups
If "Back up automatically" is on (Account > Backup), Grove saves its last 3 backup files on your device, in the app's own folder under Android/media (so a reinstall can offer to restore them) and in its private storage. If you choose a backup folder (Account > Backup > Backup folder), Grove also saves its last 3 backup files in that folder, and only in that folder. Grove never uploads any of these or sends them anywhere. Separately, Android's own backup feature, if you have it turned on in your phone settings, may include the private copy in your device backup. That is done by Android, not by Grove; we do not see it, receive it or control it. If you export a backup, the file is saved or shared where you choose.
Deletion
Uninstalling Grove removes its database and settings from your device. The backup copies in Android/media (on some phones the system removes them too) and in a backup folder you chose stay until you delete them with a file manager. Any copy your phone's own backup made is managed in your device or Google account settings.
Children
Grove does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
