Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 7, 2026

Latter Day Homestead LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the Latter Day Homestead. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1. What Data We Collect
Account information: email address, display name (optional), avatar (optional).
Garden data: address, GPS coordinates, garden layouts, crop selections, planting schedules, journal entries, task lists.
Usage data: pages visited and feature usage. We do not currently use third-party analytics services. Optional measurement is off until you allow it in the footer. It records public page paths, coarse acquisition channels and actions such as applying or saving planner settings. Anonymous measurement uses a random identifier stored on your browser for up to 60 days; signed-in usage uses your verified account identifier. We do not join anonymous and account histories or include addresses, exact coordinates, email addresses or garden contents in usage events. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control keep optional measurement off.
2. How We Use Your Data
Provide personalized planting schedules and frost alerts.
Send optional email notifications (task summaries, frost alerts) — you control frequency in Settings.
Improve the service.
3. Third-Party Services
We share limited data with the following services to provide the application:
Supabase (authentication, database hosting) — supabase.com/privacy
NOAA (frost date data) — public US government data; no personal information sent.
Open-Meteo (weather) — open-meteo.com — we send latitude/longitude only, no personal identifiers.
OpenFarm.cc (companion planting data) — no personal information sent.
Nominatim / OpenStreetMap (geocoding) — we send your street address to resolve coordinates; subject to the OSM Privacy Policy.
Google OAuth (optional sign-in) — subject to the Google Privacy Policy.
Stripe (future payment processing) — if we add paid features, payment processing will be handled by Stripe. We will never store your credit card number.
4. Data Storage & Security
Data is stored in Supabase (AWS US infrastructure) with Row Level Security.
Passwords are hashed by Supabase Auth (bcrypt).
HTTPS is enforced for all connections.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
You can delete your account and all associated data from Settings.
Optional usage events expire after 60 days through daily cleanup. Turn measurement off in the footer to request deletion for this browser and your signed-in account. A failed deletion can be retried in the same tab; garden settings are preserved.
We retain data only while your account is active.
After deletion, data is permanently removed within 30 days.
6. Cookies

We use only essential session cookies for authentication. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

7. Children

This service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do.
