Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 29 June 2026
Semes operates the Semes seed & sprout exchange platform. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
What We Collect
- Account information: email address, username, and any profile details you provide.
- Content you post: seed listings, messages, and photos you share on the platform.
- Usage data: basic logs (page visits, error reports) to keep the service running smoothly.
We do not collect precise location data or payment information.
How We Use It
- To run your account and let you exchange seeds with other users.
- To send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset, message notifications).
- To diagnose bugs and improve the service.
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.
Who We Share It With
We share data only with the infrastructure providers we need to operate (hosting, email delivery). We do not share your data with third parties for their own purposes.
We may disclose data if required by law.
Your Rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time. EU/EEA residents have additional rights under GDPR (portability, restriction, objection).
To request account and data deletion, visit our account deletion page. For other requests, email us at contact@semes.app.
Data Retention
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time; we will remove your personal data within 30 days.
Security
We encrypt data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Access to production systems is restricted.
Children
This service is not intended for anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us at contact@semes.app and we will remove it.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by email or in-app notice before the changes take effect.
