Disclosures

Affiliate links

Some product mentions in coach conversations link to Amazon through our affiliate account (marked with a small "ad" tag). If you buy through one, Amazon pays Cultivar a small commission. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes the coach's advice — products are suggested because they fit your grow, and most replies contain no links at all. This is one of the ways we keep the journal free.

Privacy, in plain words

Your grow data lives on a server we own and run ourselves — not a rented cloud database, not an ad network. We don't run ad trackers or sell data; Cloudflare's cookie-free Web Analytics measures page speed and counts visits. Pseudonyms are welcome. While you're signed in, short session recordings help us find bugs: anything you type is masked, recordings are deleted after 14 days, and you can switch them off in Settings. Download everything you've logged from Settings → Your data. Sharing a grow is always your choice; private is the default. The privacy policy has the full detail.

AI transparency

Coach answers are generated by AI models using your own journal as context: Anthropic's Claude, models reached through OpenRouter, or models running on our own hardware. AI can be wrong — verify anything high-stakes.

Beta terms, short version

Cultivar is in open beta: free while we build, first 200 accounts keep every feature free for life (AI coaching has a generous fair-use daily limit). We may change features; we won't retroactively take away what you were promised. The full terms of use are short and written to be read. Questions: [email protected], or the in-app feedback button, which reaches the founder directly.
