What Budwise stores

Budwise stores account and authentication data, private grow records, plant and grow-space details, care and manually entered environment records, Diagnosis threads, and photos you choose to upload. Clerk provides authentication. Cloudflare D1 stores application records, Cloudflare R2 stores private uploaded files, and Cloudflare Workers hosts and delivers the web application.

Diagnosis and AI provider

Diagnosis sends your message, the plant or grow-space context you select, and attached photos to Venice to generate guidance. Budwise defaults to a Venice Private model, which uses zero-data-retention inference. Do not include information you do not want processed by Venice.

Budwise uses Venice's API with a Private, vision-capable model. Venice states that Private inference processes prompt and response content only for the request and does not retain it afterward. Operational metadata such as account identifiers, timestamps, selected model, token counts, billing, request IDs, and IP address may still be processed. See Venice's privacy documentation. The categories sent are: diagnosis messages, selected plant or grow-space context, selected environment and care context, attached images. Budwise does not intentionally send your email address, authentication ID, profile handle or display name, raw storage paths, unrelated plants, or administrator data as Diagnosis prompt fields.

Private workspace

Your grow records, Diagnosis content, and uploaded files are private to your account. Budwise does not provide public profile or plant pages.

Backups after deletion

Deleted data may remain in restricted disaster recovery backups until those backups expire. Our retention policy keeps daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly snapshots, including up to seven yearly snapshots. Backup copies are not part of the active workspace. If we restore a backup, account deletions must be reapplied before access is enabled.

Your controls

Settings provides controls to export your private grow data, remove uploads or grow data, and delete your account. For privacy requests, email privacy@budwise.app.
