1. Overview
Plantaera Biotech LLC ("Company") is the data controller for personal information collected through the TissueCulture Pro website ("Website").

TissueCulture Pro is self-hosted software installed on your infrastructure. The Software does not transmit telemetry, usage analytics, or operational data to the Company.
We do not collect, access, process, or store data entered into your installation. You are solely responsible for compliance with data protection laws relating to any personal data stored in your system.

- Basic web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited)
Payment information is processed directly by Stripe. We do not store full credit card numbers.
4. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Respond to inquiries

We do not sell personal information.
5. Third-Party Services
We use:
- Stripe (payment processing)
- Formspree (contact form processing)
- Lima Labs tile service for certain Plant Locations map functionality
These providers operate under their own privacy policies.
If you make a purchase, payment and transaction details needed to complete and document the transaction are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems.
If you submit a contact form, the information you enter is transmitted to Formspree so it can deliver and process your inquiry on our behalf.
When Plant Locations or other map views load, your browser may request map tiles and related resources directly from Lima Labs. Those requests may disclose technical and request metadata to Lima Labs, such as your IP address, browser and device details, request headers, referring URL, timestamps, and the specific map tiles or areas requested.
TissueCulture Pro basemaps may also incorporate data from OpenStreetMap contributors through Lima Labs or other providers. We do not control how third-party map providers collect, use, retain, or share information received through those requests.
6. Data Retention
Purchase records are retained for accounting and legal compliance. Contact submissions are retained as needed for support unless deletion is requested.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information we hold. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
