Baram is a simple Mac app that does not collect any data about you. The rest of this page explains what that means in practice, and what the app does keep.

No data is collected

Baram has no networking code at all: it never connects to the internet, so there is nothing for it to send anywhere and nowhere for it to send it. No account is required and none exists. The developer cannot see your plants, your wishes, or whether you use the app.

What the app stores, and where

Everything Baram remembers stays on your Mac, inside the app's own sandbox container, and is never transmitted:

• Your plant. When it was sown, when it was last watered, its variety, its pot, its name, and which side of the screen it grows on.
• Your herbarium. A record of each plant you have pressed, and any wish you wrote.
• Your wishes. The text you write is stored on your Mac and shown only in the app's window. It is never drawn on your desktop, where the tag shows the paper.
• A few preferences. Whether you have seen the introduction, and which display you have chosen for the plant.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Baram may send you a small number of local reminders: that your plant is thirsty, that it has budded or flowered, or that it has finished growing. These are local notifications, generated on your Mac by the app itself. No push service is involved, nothing leaves your computer, and no notification token is created or shared. You can turn them off at any time in System Settings, under Notifications.

Children

Baram is suitable for all ages and collects no information from anyone, including children.
