Branchwise Terms of Use
These Terms of Use govern your use of Branchwise. By using the app, you agree to use it lawfully and to review these terms together with the Branchwise Privacy Policy.
What Branchwise provides
Branchwise provides local tools for creating tree profiles, capturing or importing dated photos, labeling viewpoints, placing branch markers, recording pruning or wiring decisions, planning sessions, reviewing actual work, comparing photos, recording outcomes, searching the archive, and generating PDF Decision Sheets. The app also provides optional voice-note transcription and optional online processing of selected text or photos.
No account or payment obligation
Branchwise does not require an account or sign-in. The implemented app does not include subscriptions, in-app purchases, payment processing, advertising, or paid feature tiers. Your local archive is not synchronized to a Branchwise account or cloud service.
Your content
You are responsible for the tree information, photos, recordings, notes, decisions, and other material that you enter or import. You retain control of that material. Do not use the app to store content that you do not have the right to use or share. You decide which confirmed records and photos are included in a PDF and whether to share that PDF through the iOS system share sheet.
Optional external processing
Some features can send the text and selected photo copies shown in the app’s review screen to an external AI processing service. This is optional and requires your action. Image copies are resized and stripped of EXIF and GPS metadata before sending. The service may process the submitted material under its own terms. You should not send information that you do not want processed by that service. Branchwise stores applicable request metadata locally and keeps generated material separate from confirmed records.
Optional speech recognition uses Apple’s speech services when on-device recognition is unavailable and you confirm that choice. Availability and processing may depend on iOS, your device, and network access.
Nature of generated content
Generated text and image comparisons are organizational aids based on the information you select. They may be incomplete or unsuitable for your particular tree. The assistant is designed to organize notes, identify visible differences, and interpret local archive filters; it does not make a decision for you, diagnose plant health, or provide instructions for pesticides, chemicals, power tools, or other hazardous work. Review all generated material before saving or sharing it.
Acceptable use
You may use Branchwise only for lawful personal recordkeeping and related discussion. You must not attempt to interfere with the app, bypass permission controls, reverse engineer external services through the app, misuse another person’s content, or use generated output as a substitute for qualified local advice where such advice is needed.
Sharing and deletion
Branchwise does not publish content, host a community, provide profiles, comments, chat, or direct messaging. Any sharing happens only when you choose a destination in the iOS share sheet. You can delete processing metadata, exports, trees and their associated local records, or all app data from within the app. Deletion of local data does not recall material already sent for external processing.
Availability and changes
Features that depend on camera access, photo library access, microphone access, speech recognition, network access, or an external processing service may be unavailable or interrupted. We may update the app and these terms as the implemented service changes. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version of these terms.
