Privacy Policy
Effective 13 September 2026
1. Information we collect
FarmBuddy may collect your name, email address, sign-in provider, account role, farm profile, location, farm activities, financial records, market interests, advisor requests, uploaded photographs, and basic technical or security information generated when you use the service.
2. How we use information
We use this information to authenticate accounts, provide farm records and dashboards, personalise local weather and market information, calculate farm insights, enable communication with authorised agricultural advisors, improve the service, and protect accounts from misuse.
3. Service providers
FarmBuddy uses trusted service providers, including Google for optional sign-in and Supabase for authentication, database and file storage. Weather and market-data providers may process a location or search request needed to return relevant information. Their own privacy terms may also apply.
4. Sharing and access
We do not sell personal information. Private farm records and photographs are intended to be available only to the farmer and authorised staff or advisors where their role requires access. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect users, or with your permission.
5. Storage and security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, meet legal duties, resolve disputes, and protect FarmBuddy and its users.
6. Your choices
You may update information in your account and request access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to legal and operational requirements. You can stop using Google sign-in by removing FarmBuddy from your Google account permissions.
7. Platform creator and contact
FarmBuddy was created and is managed by Siyolise Magazi. For platform, privacy, account or support enquiries, email bonne3magazi@gmail.com.
