Privacy by Design

Your Garden, Your Records.

We believe data sovereignty is a fundamental right. At Cultiva, you own your genetics collection and your gardening wisdom.

Data Sovereignty

We do not sell your personal recordings, plant history, or seed metadata to third parties. Your data is used solely to provide your personalized gardening experience.

Absolute Transparency

We clearly state what we collect. Primary data includes your hardiness zone, preferred units, and your shared community contributions.
