JoeBeesDelete your data
For JoeBee's Garden Planner (the Android app) and joebees.app. Last updated: September 20, 2026
JoeBees has no accounts, so there is no account to close. Almost everything the app knows about your garden sits on your own phone, and you can remove all of it yourself in a few seconds. The one thing we hold is a garden you chose to share — and we will delete that whenever you ask.
Delete everything on your phone
- Open Settings on your Android phone.
- Go to Apps → JoeBees Garden Planner.
- Tap Uninstall. Every garden, photo, planting date and setting goes with it, immediately and permanently.
Want to keep the app? On that same screen tap Storage → Clear storage instead. It wipes the same data and leaves you a fresh, empty app.
On joebees.app, press “Clear bed” in the planner header, or clear your browser's site data for the domain.
Delete a garden you shared with us
- Find the share link you were given. It looks like
joebees.app/planner?share=xxxxxxxxxxxx. - Email it to joebeesgarden@gmail.com with the subject Delete my shared garden. The contact page works too.
- We delete it and reply to confirm — usually within a few days, always within 30.
You don't have to prove anything or give us a name. The link is all we need, because it is all we have.
What is deleted, what is kept
Your gardens, plant placements, planting dates, bed photos, care settings and reminders
- Where:
- Only on your phone
- How it goes:
- Uninstall or Clear storage removes them instantly. We never had a copy.
A garden you pressed Share on — its name, size, plants, sun, soil and hardiness zone. Never your ZIP code: that is removed before the garden is stored.
- Where:
- Our server
- How it goes:
- Email us the link and we delete it. Otherwise it deletes itself one year after you shared it.
Anonymous usage counts — that a layout was generated, a bed size, a plant count
- Where:
- Our server
- How it goes:
- Kept. Nothing in these rows points at you or your phone, so there is nothing to look up or remove.
The random install ID that gives your phone its own daily JoeBee allowance
- Where:
- Our server, briefly
- How it goes:
- Expires by itself within a day. Reinstalling the app gives you a new one.
What you typed to JoeBee, and your location if you tapped “Use my location”
- Where:
- Nowhere — passed through and dropped
- How it goes:
- Never stored, so there is nothing to delete. Our host keeps short-lived access logs for security.
