Data Collection

MyBloom collects the following data to power its community features:

  • Anonymous UUID: A randomly generated identifier used to associate your reports. This is not linked to your Apple ID or any personal information.
  • Bloom Reports: When you submit a bloom status report, the bloom stage, optional note, and optional photo are uploaded to our servers.
  • Location: Your location is accessed only while using the app to show nearby bloom spots on the map. Location data is not stored on our servers.
  • Saved Spots: Your saved spots list is stored locally on your device and synced via Firebase for persistence.

Firebase Services

MyBloom uses the following Firebase services provided by Google:

  • Firebase Auth: Anonymous authentication only. No email, phone number, or social login is collected.
  • Cloud Firestore: Stores bloom reports, spot data, and community contributions.
