Last Updated: 4/19/2026

Plotted Plants (“we,” “our,” or “us”), a Storycraft Tools platform, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our web platform, admin console, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

  • User-Generated Content: Plant photos, planted items, plot logs, notes, and activity events you submit to the platform.

  • Waitlist Data: Information provided when applying to a garden or community waitlist.

Information collected automatically:

  • Usage Data: Interactions with our web pages, maps, features accessed, and authentication logs to ensure security.
  • Device and Connection Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and diagnostic details.
  • Cookies and Tracking: We use standard web tracking technologies to maintain sessions and analyze usage.

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our platform (e.g., managing your plots and community access).
  • Facilitate secure login, invitations, and account administration.
  • Process transactions and send related billing information.
  • Respond to support requests and send administrative messages.
  • Improve our platform features, mapping functionalities, and user experience.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • With Community Coordinators: Certain information, such as your name, plot assignments, and plot logs, is visible to your community coordinators or team members to facilitate garden management.
  • Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors who provide services on our behalf (e.g., database hosting via MongoDB, media storage via Cloudinary, payment processing via Stripe).
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Plotted Plants, its users, or others.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Integrations

Our Services may rely on external authenticators, storage providers, and payment gateways. These services operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access and update your personal information.
  • Request the deletion of your account and associated data.
