Go Bananas is a banana ripeness scanning app published by Harnisch LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app does and does not collect.
TL;DR
Go Bananas runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, store, or share any personal data. Photos you take to scan a banana are processed on the device, never uploaded, and never leave your phone.
What we collect
Nothing. Go Bananas v1.0 does not transmit any data off your device. There is no account, no login, no analytics, no advertising SDK.
What stays on your device
The app stores the following locally, accessible only to you:
- Scan history: the photo and computed ripeness stage for each banana you've scanned. You can clear this from the History tab at any time.
- Bunch state: the virtual "bunch" of bananas you've planted in the Bananas tab, including the family name you chose, environment selections (counter, fridge, etc.), and the bunch's lifecycle events.
- Notification preferences: if you opt into ripeness alerts for the bunch feature, the operating system holds a notification token locally to schedule "your banana is ripe" reminders. The token is not transmitted to us.
What we do NOT do
- We do not collect personal information (name, email, location, contact info).
- We do not upload your photos.
- We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
- We do not share data with third parties.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
Permissions the app requests
- Camera: used to take photos of bananas in-app. Photos are processed on-device only.
- Photo library (optional): if you choose to analyze a photo you already have, the app reads it from your library locally. Photos are processed on-device only.
- Notifications (optional): used for local "your bunch is ripe" reminders. No remote push notifications are sent.
Future features
A future version may add an optional "anonymous corrections" feature, where you can send back the predicted ripeness stage and your correction (no photos, no identifying information) to help improve the algorithm. This will be strictly opt-in. When and if it ships, this policy will be updated to describe exactly what is sent.
Children
Go Bananas is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page and the updated date revised.
