Yardable Privacy Policy

Apps 4 That LLC · Last updated June 28, 2026

Yardable is a backyard-planning app made by Apps 4 That LLC (Indiana, USA). It is built on-device first: your plans and photos live on your own phone or computer by default. This policy explains exactly what stays on your device and the few things that don't.

What stays on your device

• Your detailed plan — zones, goals, intake notes, measurements, plant picks, shopping lists, budgets, project steps, your growing zone, and your taste profile — is stored locally in your browser's localStorage on your device.
• Photos you add of your yard are processed and stored only on your device. They are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
• There is not yet a cloud login or cross-device sync account. Clearing this site's browser data can still remove the local copy of your plan.

Saving a Yardable profile

When you tap Save my yard profile, Yardable sends Apps 4 That a profile record so we can keep the relationship with you and learn which Yardable users are most likely to become paid customers. That record may include:

• your name, email, optional phone number, and ZIP/city if you provide them;
• whether you opted into email updates or SMS reminders;
• your plan status, USDA growing zone, top taste tags, number of looks rated, number of zones, and whether the first zone has a plan, area, or photo;
• the first zone's goals and general conditions such as sun, water, and soil.

Your photos, raw notes, full shopping list, and full project details are not sent with the saved profile. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe path. SMS reminders are only sent if you separately opt in with a phone number.

The optional AI Coach (only if you choose it)

Yardable's free coach answers from a built-in, on-device knowledge base — nothing is sent anywhere. If you opt into the paid AI Coach, then only the text you type plus basic context about the zone you're working on (its name, goals, sun/soil conditions, and area) is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to generate a reply. We send this through our own server so your request is not tied to an account or profile.

• Your photos are never sent to the AI Coach or to Anthropic.
• We do not store your coach conversations on our servers.
• Anthropic processes the message to return an answer under its own terms; see Anthropic's privacy policy.

The daily "Today's looks"

The daily style shuffle works on-device. If a server-backed rotation is enabled, only anonymous image IDs you rate are exchanged to pick the next set — never your personal data.

Fonts

Yardable loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your device's IP address is visible to Google when fonts are fetched, as with most websites. No other information is shared, and we run no Google Analytics or other tracking.

Service providers we use

Yardable runs on a small set of infrastructure providers that process data on our behalf. We share only what each one needs to do its job, and none of them may use your data for their own marketing:

• Vercel — hosts the Yardable website and our server functions. Like any web host, it sees standard request data (such as your IP address) when you load the app.
• GitHub — when you save a Yardable profile, the profile record described above is stored as a private entry in our GitHub-hosted lead tracker so we can follow up with you.
• Stripe — handles all payments and checkout. Your card details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store them. See Stripe's privacy policy.
• Anthropic — powers the optional paid AI Coach, as described above. Only your typed message and basic zone context are sent, never your photos or identity.

No ad tracking, no cookies, no selling

Yardable contains no advertising, tracking cookies, or cross-site trackers. We use Plausible Analytics for aggregate, cookie-free page and event counts only. We do not sell your information. Saved profile data is used by Apps 4 That to operate Yardable, follow up with you, understand product demand, and send only the updates or reminders you selected.

Children

Yardable is a general-audience home-and-garden tool and is not directed to children under 13.

Deleting your data

Because your data lives on your device, you are always in control. You can remove everything by deleting your zones in the app, or by clearing this site's data in your browser/app settings. Uninstalling the app removes it all.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Material changes will be noted in the app.
