AI Features and Your Data

Turf uses Claude, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, to power the AI lawn advisor and weed identification features. When you use these features, relevant portions of your lawn profile, treatment history, and your messages are sent to Anthropic's API to generate responses. Anthropic's privacy policy governs their handling of this data. We do not sell your data to Anthropic or any third party for training purposes.

Data Sharing

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

Service providers: We use Supabase for database hosting and authentication, Anthropic for AI features, Open-Meteo for weather data, and RevenueCat for subscription management. These providers access your data only as necessary to provide their services.
Analytics: We use PostHog to analyze app usage patterns. This data is aggregated and used only to improve the product.
Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes. Treatment logs and lawn profile data are deleted with your account.

Children's Privacy

Turf is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

Location Data

Turf requests access to your device location to determine your USDA hardiness zone and provide accurate soil temperature data for your lawn. We use this data only to provide app features. We do not track your location in the background. You can revoke location access at any time in your device settings.

Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission, secure database hosting through Supabase, and authentication through established providers. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, through the app or by email. Continued use of Turf after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
