Privacy Policy

Effective September 12, 2026

The short version

Green Mind: Zone 9 is operated by ConcordiaPax LLC. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, who it reaches, and what you can require us to do about it. It is written to be read, not to be survived.
The short version: we collect what the app needs to plan your garden and reach you about it. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for advertising.

What we collect

Information you give us:
Name and email address — to create and personalize your account and send you what you ask for. This can include a display name and private username; usernames are not published to other gardeners at this stage.
Phone number — only if you enter one when requesting a service.
ZIP code — your planting calendar, frost dates, and weather alerts are location-specific, and a Zone 9 plan for the wrong location is worse than no plan. ZIP is all we ask for. We do not collect your street address.
Garden details — bed names and types, sun exposure, your garden goal, plants you track, journal entries, and notes.
Photos you upload — pictures of plants and garden areas you submit for diagnosis. See “Photos and AI” below.
Information collected automatically:
IP address — logged by our hosting and database providers for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
Approximate coordinates for your ZIP code — we look your ZIP up in a bundled table and store that ZIP’s center point so we can pull the right weather forecast. Everyone in a ZIP code gets the same point. We do not collect your device’s location, and we do not track where you go.
Usage activity — which tasks you complete, scans you run, and links you follow inside the app, so the app can track your progress. We review this internally to see which guidance is working. It is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not used to build a profile of you.
Sign-in and device data — session tokens stored on your device to keep you logged in.

What we do with it

Build and update your planting calendar, tasks, and weather guidance.
Diagnose plant problems from photos you submit.
Send account, task, and weather emails you have asked for.
Connect you with a local service provider — only when you submit a service request.
Keep the service secure, working, and free of abuse.
We do not use your personal data to build advertising profiles, and we do not run third-party ad or analytics trackers on this site.

We do not sell or share your data

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not trade, rent, or license it to data brokers.
We do use a small number of vendors to run the service, and your data passes through them because it has to. They process data under their applicable terms to provide and secure the assigned service. Counsel and operator verification of those terms remains a launch gate:
Supabase — database, authentication, and photo storage.
Cloudflare — website hosting, network security, and Workers AI processing of a diagnosis photo and prompt when that production provider is enabled.
Stripe — reserved for future Checkout, subscription billing, and account management. The public payment path is disabled during the free beta.
Our configured AI provider — analyzes the scan photo, or a short-lived link to it, only to return the diagnosis you requested.
Sentry — receives scrubbed technical error reports when monitoring is configured; replay, request bodies, credentials, contact fields, and customer content are excluded.
Our email provider — delivers the messages you have asked for.
Open-Meteo — receives configured regional grid coordinates to return forecasts. Those approximate coordinates come from your ZIP code, not your name, email, street address, or device location.
If you submit a service request and we bring in an outside provider to do the work, the contact details and request summary you entered go to that provider so they can reach you. We will tell you that at the point you submit the request, before you send it — you will not find out afterward. These are independent local service providers, not ConcordiaPax employees, agents, or partners.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect someone’s safety or our legal rights.

Photos and AI

When you ask the garden assistant, Cloudflare Workers AI receives your question, recent conversation, and the selected bed’s crop positions, spacing, optional variety and height, and environment settings. We do not include your account ID, address, or journal notes in this context. Assistant conversations are held in the current app view rather than stored as chat history by Green Mind. We retain daily request counts for usage limits; these are included in account export and removed when your account is deleted. Provider terms apply to provider processing.
When you submit a photo for diagnosis, it is stored in our private Supabase storage bucket, attached to your account. Our configured AI provider receives the photo, or a short-lived link to it, for GreenMind’s purpose of producing the diagnosis you requested. Production may use Cloudflare Workers AI with Meta’s Llama 3.2 Vision model; every result still passes GreenMind’s organic-safety validator before it is saved. The provider’s and model licensor’s applicable terms also apply to their processing.
Photos can carry more than the plant. If your camera records location in image metadata, that metadata travels with the file. If you would rather not include it, turn off location tagging in your camera app before photographing.

Training our gardening AI

Launch training uses only reviewed, repository-authored knowledge. Private journals, scan photos and diagnoses, service requests and contact data, and engagement events are excluded and never used for model training.
Historical consent flags do not grant permission to publish or train. The launch scan flow does not ask for community-sharing consent, and scan photos remain private account data. A future photo-publication or customer-content training program would require a separate approved workflow and new permission.
Operational usage activity remains in the service database for product operation; it is not copied into a training or evaluation dataset. Repository-authored training records keep their source and review metadata.

Beta access and future billing

GreenMind is launching as a free beta and does not currently collect payment for a GreenMind subscription. We store a limited access-grant record when the operator gives complimentary extended access to a beta tester or eligible Substack subscriber.
The record contains the GreenMind account identifier, grant source, and grant, expiration, or revocation timestamps. Substack manages its own subscription and payment data. GreenMind does not receive full card details from Substack.

Your rights

If you are a Texas resident, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act gives you the right to:
confirm whether we process your personal data, and get a copy of it;
correct inaccuracies in it;
delete it;
obtain it in a portable, machine-readable format;
opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or profiling with legal effects — none of which we do.
Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws, including California, have comparable rights, and we honor the same requests regardless of where you live.
To make a request, email [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days, and may extend once by another 45 days if the request is complex — we will tell you if that happens. We will not charge you or degrade your service for exercising a right.
If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision. We will respond to an appeal within 60 days, and if we deny the appeal we will give you a way to file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General.

If there is a data breach

If we discover a breach of security that exposes your sensitive personal information, we are legally required to notify you, and we will. Texas law requires that notice without unreasonable delay and, absent a law-enforcement hold, no later than 60 days after we determine the breach occurred.
If a breach affects at least 250 Texas residents, we are also required to notify the Texas Attorney General. Where other states’ laws apply to affected residents, we will follow those as well.
Our notice will tell you what happened, what categories of information were involved, and what you can do about it.

Keeping and deleting your data

You can export a portable copy of your account data and delete your account from Settings. Deletion removes complimentary access grants, private scan photos, and account-owned garden data. If paid billing is introduced later, deletion will first handle any active provider subscription. Limited service-lead and email-delivery records may remain only after contact fields and customer-authored content are scrubbed. The deletion receipt retains only controlled, non-personal status data.
Exact backup-retention and deletion timing remain operator decisions subject to post-launch counsel review; the in-app workflow does not set them. Email [email protected] for correction or individual-record requests that the current interface does not provide.

Children

Green Mind is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, email [email protected] and we will delete it.

Security

Your data is isolated to your account at the database level, transmitted over encrypted connections, and encrypted at rest by our providers. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not claim otherwise — which is why the breach-notification commitment above matters.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a way that materially affects how we handle your personal data, we will update the effective date above and notify account holders by email before the change takes effect.
