A Promise

i. What we collect, and why

The almanac is built to live almost entirely on your own device. Your flowers, your watering schedule, your streak counts, the names you give your fern — all of these are kept in your pocket, not in a distant warehouse. We do not gather your contacts, your photographs, your location, or any record of your wider digital life.

The few small things we do receive:

• Anonymous notes about whether the app crashes (so we may fix it)
• The general type of device you use (so the almanac fits properly)
• If you write to us, the words of your letter and the address you wrote from

ii. What we never do

We will not sell, lease, barter, or whisper your information to anyone. We do not work with advertising networks. We do not place tracking pixels in our pages. We do not send your data abroad for unrelated purposes.

If a third party ever asks for your information — even a friendly-sounding one — the answer is no, by default and by design.

iii. A note about little ones

The almanac is suitable for gardeners of any age, and is gentle in its content. We do not knowingly gather information from children, and the design assumes a general audience. If a young person uses the app under your guidance, the same promises apply.

iv. The keeping of records

Anything we do receive — like your letters or anonymous error reports — is kept only as long as it is useful, and then quietly let go. You may write at any time and ask us to forget you entirely. We will, with no friction and no questions.

v. Changes to this little promise

If we ever update this promise — and life being what it is, we may — we will mark the date plainly at the bottom of the page, and send a small note within the almanac itself. No surprises. No buried clauses. No fine print folded into corners.

vi. If you wish to ask

For any question about your information, write a small letter to support@petaclock.com. The same kind keeper who answers correspondence will answer here. Replies typically arrive within a day or two.
