Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 14, 2026

Anyponics is an app for iPhone, iPad and Android that helps you plan hydroponic and aquaponic growing systems. This policy explains what data the app handles and how. It is written to be read, not to hide things.

No account, no sign-up

Anyponics has no login. We do not ask for your name, email, or any account credentials, and we do not maintain a user profile.

Your designs and garden stay on your device

Every system design you generate, and everything you record in My Garden — plantings, readings, tasks, harvests, expenses, notes and photos — is stored locally on your device. None of it is uploaded to us or synced to any server we operate, except the specific information described under “Garden assistant and photo checks” below, and only when you use those features.

Your device’s own backup (iCloud Backup on iPhone and iPad, Android device backup to your Google account on Android) may include this data under your settings with Apple or Google; we have no access to those backups.

Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. No notification service or server is involved.

AI design parsing

When you describe a system in your own words, the text you type is sent to the Anyponics backend, which forwards it to Anthropic’s Claude API to interpret it into structured design parameters. The backend is a stateless proxy — it does not durably store your prompts. Anthropic processes the request under its own API terms. If you prefer design descriptions never to leave your device, switch on “Process designs on this device only” in Settings; your descriptions are then interpreted on-device.

Garden assistant and photo checks

These features only send data when you actively use them — asking the assistant a question or running a photo check.

• Assistant questions: your question, your recent conversation with the assistant, and a summary of the garden it relates to are sent to the Anyponics backend. The summary contains your system type and size, crops and planting dates, recent readings, open tasks, recent notes and problems you logged, harvest totals, and the optional location or climate note you entered.
• Photo checks: the photo you choose, any note you add, and the same garden summary are sent to the backend.

The backend forwards this to Anthropic’s Claude API to produce the answer, and returns it to your device, where the conversation and results are stored. The backend is a stateless proxy — it does not durably store your questions, photos or garden data. Anthropic processes requests under its own commercial API terms. Nothing is shared publicly, and no account or identity is attached to these requests.

To count the free monthly allowance, the app keeps a small counter on your device (in the keychain on iPhone and iPad, which may sync through your iCloud Keychain; in the app’s private storage on Android). It contains a number, not your questions.

Camera, LiDAR & AR

The room-scan and AR size-preview features use your device camera and LiDAR sensor (iPhone and iPad only). This imagery is processed entirely on your device to measure your space — it is never uploaded or stored by us. Photos you take or choose for your garden log stay on your device; a photo is only sent anywhere when you run a photo check on it, as described above.

Region

The app reads your device’s country setting to route shopping links to your local Amazon store. This is a single device setting — it is not GPS location and is not tracked.

Affiliate shopping links

The bill-of-materials screen links parts to Amazon. Anyponics participates in the Amazon Associates program and earns a small commission on qualifying purchases made through those links, at no extra cost to you. When you tap a link you leave Anyponics and Amazon’s own privacy policy applies.

Purchases

Anyponics Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly). On iPhone and iPad it is processed entirely by Apple, as was the earlier one-time Pro unlock; on Android it is processed entirely by Google Play. We never receive or store your payment details. Subscriptions are managed and cancelled in your Apple ID settings (iPhone and iPad) or in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions (Android). Apple and Google may provide us with aggregate, non-identifying information about purchases.

Analytics

Anyponics does not currently include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. If that changes, this policy will be updated before any such code ships.

Android waitlist

If you choose to join the Android waitlist on our website, the email address you submit is stored only so we can notify you when an Android version of Anyponics becomes available. It is not used for anything else and is not sold or shared. You can ask us to remove it at any time by emailing [email protected].

The website designer

The system designer and calculators on anyponics.com run entirely in your browser. The space, crops and budget you enter are not sent to us while you design.

Saving a design. If you choose to save a design, we store the email address you give us together with the design’s settings (dimensions, crops, budget and similar choices) and a short summary, so the design can be reopened from its link, and we email you that link. We use that email only for your saved designs, and send nothing else unless you opt in. Emails are sent through our email provider, Resend, which processes your address only to deliver the message.

Optimize My Build early access. If you request early access, we store your email and the design you requested it for, send a one-time confirmation through Resend, and email you when the service opens.

Usage counts. The website records anonymous events such as “a design was generated” or “a shopping link was clicked”, with the page, the part category and your country as reported by our network provider. No cookies, no IP address and no identifier that links events to you or to each other are stored.

To delete a saved design, an early-access request or your email, write to [email protected].

Children

Anyponics is a general-purpose tool not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “last updated” date.
