Privacy Policy — LeafPick Procurement App
This Privacy Policy explains how the LeafPick Procurement App ("the App", "we", "us") collects, uses, stores, and discloses information about you when you use the App. LeafPick is operated by Wahat Al Sahraa Nurseries ("Company"). If you have questions about this policy, contact us at nursery.enquiry@desertgroup.ae.
The App is a business-facing tool used by procurement officers to source, inspect, and manage plant inventory across projects, suppliers, and plant specifications. It is not directed at children, and is not intended for use by the general consumer public.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide directly
- Account & profile information: name, email address, phone number, employer/company name, role, and password (stored on our servers only as a cryptographic hash).
- Work content you create: plant listings, specifications, uploaded photos of plants/inventory, upload drafts, inspection notes, comments, work-queue items, and project/spec metadata.
- Camera & photo library access: the App requests camera and photo permissions so you can capture or attach plant photos during uploads and inspections. Images are uploaded to our backend to create plant listings and are retained as part of that business record.
- Support communications: information you send us when you contact support.
1.2 Information collected automatically
- Sevice & diagnostic information: device model, OS version, app version, crash logs, and general usage/performance data, used to keep the App stable and secure.
- Push notification token: a device token (via Firebase Cloud Messaging) used to deliver work-queue and project notifications. You can disable push notifications in your device settings.
- Approximate/precise location (only if and when you grant permission): used, where relevant, to associate a plant intake or supplier visit with a location. Location is not collected in the background and is never sold.
1.3 Information stored locally on your device
The App maintains a local, on-device database (used strictly as an offline cache and sync queue) so you can keep working without a network connection. This local store holds a copy of your recent projects, specs, drafts, and work-queue items and is synchronized with our servers over an encrypted connection when connectivity is available. Uninstalling the App removes this local copy; it does not delete data already synced to our servers (see Section 5 for deletion requests).
2. How We Use Information
We use the information above to:
- Operate core App functionality (uploading plants, managing work queues, tracking projects/specs);
- Sync your data across your devices and keep your local offline cache consistent with the server;
- Send you transactional and work-related push notifications;
- Authenticate you and secure your account;
- Diagnose crashes, monitor performance, and improve the App;
- Provide customer support;
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not use your data for third-party advertising, and we do not sell personal information.
3. How Information Is Shared
We share information only as follows:
- Service providers who process data on our behalf under contract, including:
- Firebase (Google) — Cloud Messaging, used solely to deliver push notifications to your device., Cloud Messaging (push notifications), and crash/analytics diagnostics.
- Amazon Web Services — cloud hosting and database storage for account, project and marketplace records.
- Other users within your organization/workspace, to the extent your role requires visibility into shared projects, specs, or work queues.
- Legal & safety: if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or others.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy continuing to apply to your data.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Data Retention
We retain account and work-record data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the App, comply with legal/tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Locally cached data on your device is retained until it is synced and/or the App is uninstalled.
5. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, email nursery.enquiry@desertgroup.ae. We will verify your request and respond within a reasonable time, consistent with applicable law. Note that some information may be retained where necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes (e.g., completed project records).
6. Data Security
We use industry-standard safeguards — including encrypted transport (TLS) between the App and our backend, and access controls on our cloud infrastructure — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including where our cloud service providers (Amazon Web Services and Google/Firebase) operate data centers. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers where required by law.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is intended for use by adult business personnel and is not directed to, and should not be used by, children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Your Device Permissions
The App may request the following permissions, each used solely for the stated purpose:
- Camera — to capture plant photos for uploads/inspections.
- Photo library — to attach existing photos to uploads.
- Notifications — to deliver work-queue and project alerts.
- Location (optional) — to tag intake/inspection records with a site location.
You can review and revoke any permission at any time in your device Settings.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via in-app notice or email prior to taking effect. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.

You may not sublicense, resell, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

You retain ownership of content you upload (e.g., plant photos, specifications, notes). By uploading content, you grant the Company a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content as necessary to operate the App and provide the service to you and your organization.

Data entered while offline is stored locally and synchronized once connectivity is restored. We are not responsible for data loss or conflicts resulting from prolonged offline use, device failure, app deletion prior to sync, or force-majeure events affecting connectivity.
7. Third-Party Services
The App relies on third-party infrastructure: Amazon Web Services for hosting and data storage, and Firebase (Google) for push notification delivery.. Your use of the App is also subject to the applicable terms and privacy policies of these providers to the extent they process your data.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR USE OF THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR, IF NONE, USD 100).

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms, poses a security risk, or for any other reason at our discretion. You may stop using the App at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately; provisions that by their nature should survive (e.g., Sections 4, 8, 9, 10) will survive.
12. Apple App Store Terms
