Privacy

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the Mushy app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created as an AI-powered mushroom identification service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is accessible here.

Information Collection and Use

The Application is designed with privacy as its core principle. Here's how we handle your data:

  • Photos uploaded for mushroom identification are processed securely
  • Identification results are stored locally on your device
  • No personal information is collected beyond what's necessary for the service
  • Photos are not permanently stored on our servers after processing
  • Usage analytics may be collected to improve the service

Third Party Access

The Application uses third-party AI services for mushroom identification. Photos are transmitted securely to these services for processing and are not stored permanently. No personal information is shared with third parties beyond what's necessary for the identification service.

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop all collection of information by the Application easily by uninstalling it. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device.

Data Retention Policy

Identification results are stored locally on your device and remain there for as long as you use the Application. Photos sent for identification are temporarily processed by our AI services and are not permanently stored. Your library data is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Children

The Service is designed for mushroom enthusiasts and foragers. The Application does not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please have a parent or guardian use the app with you.

Security

The Service is designed with privacy and security in mind. Photos are transmitted securely using encryption for AI processing. Your identification library is stored locally on your device and protected by your device's built-in security measures.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.

This policy is effective as of 2025-07-20

Your Consent

By using the Application, you are consenting to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us.
