Mushroom Identifier - Mycora
Last updated: February 24, 2026

Mycora is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not require an account, and your identification history is stored only on your device.

Overview

Mycora ("the App") is developed by gguggulab. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.

Data We Collect

1. Photos You Submit

When you use the identification feature, photos you take or select are sent to Google's Gemini AI service for analysis. These images are processed by Google to provide mushroom identification results. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles this data.

Photos are transmitted only when you actively tap the identify button. They are not collected or stored by gguggulab.

2. Analytics Data

The App uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (provided by Google) to collect anonymous usage data and crash reports. This helps us improve app stability and user experience. Data collected may include:

Data We Do NOT Collect

Local Storage

Your identification history (results, timestamps, and associated photos) is stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is automatically removed when you delete the App. You can clear your history at any time from the Settings screen.
