Explore Public Gardens does not collect, use, save, or have access to any data of any kind on your mobile device. Explore Public Gardens asks for permissions regarding your phone’s gps location and camera. These permissions allow Explore Public Gardens to function in connection with other apps on your phone. Explore Public Gardens does not collect any data related to your use of these services through the app. However other apps, such as your mapping and navigation app of choice, have different data practices and may collect usage data in accordance with their own terms.  Explore Public Gardens plays no part in data collection, use, storage, or access of or by any other software on your device. The only data that Explore Public Gardens collects is a confirmation that you have scanned a QR code at a point of interest within a garden. This data never exists on your phone and consists only of a record of the QR code being scanned. No personal data, location data, time data, or any other kind of data is generated or collected beyond a simple record showing that the QR code was scanned.
