Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 21, 2026
FarmingPal ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the FarmingPal mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Service.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide voluntarily — such as your name, email address, farm location, province or state, and any pricing data you choose to submit.
- Anonymous price submissions — price reports submitted without an account are not linked to any individual and are stored in aggregate form only.
- Account information — if you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store plain-text passwords.
- Device and usage data — we may automatically collect device type, operating system, app version, and general usage patterns to improve the Service.
- Location data — with your permission, we may collect general region or district information to display relevant local prices. We do not collect precise GPS coordinates.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
- Display crowdsourced pricing data relevant to your region
- Connect landowners with custom farming operators
- Improve, personalize, and expand our features
- Communicate with you about updates, new features, or support requests
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations
3. Sharing of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — trusted third parties who assist us in operating the Service (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics), bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Legal requirements — if required by law or in response to valid legal process.
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Aggregated, anonymized pricing data (which cannot identify any individual) may be shared publicly or with partners to support agricultural market transparency.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the address below. Anonymous price submissions are retained indefinitely as part of our community dataset.
5. Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it promptly.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address below.
8. Third-Party Links
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the effective date above. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
