Information Collection

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information and Other Information

When you use our Services, we collect and store personal information you provide. Our goal is to offer a safe, efficient, and personalized experience tailored to your needs—whether you're a farmer using our free app or a stakeholder building custom solutions.

General Browsing: You can explore our website without revealing personal details. Once you provide information, you are no longer anonymous to us. We mark required and optional fields where applicable, and you may choose not to use certain features if you prefer not to share data.
Behavioral Data: We automatically track information about your activity (e.g., pages visited, clicks) for internal research on demographics, interests, and behavior. This helps us improve and protect our Services. Such data is analyzed in aggregate form and may include your IP address, browser type, and referral URLs.
Cookies: We use cookies—small files stored on your device—to analyze web flow, enhance security, and personalize your experience. Cookies enable features like seamless logins and interest-based content. Most are "session cookies" (deleted after use), and you can decline them via browser settings, though this may limit functionality. Third-party cookies may also appear, over which we have no control.
Farmers: When you register for the Farmer Engagement Application, we collect your name, phone number, location (village/district), preferred language, and farming details (e.g., crops, soil data). We also track app usage and AI-generated outputs (e.g., advisories, ROI predictions).
Stakeholders: When you register for the Virtual Tech Partner Platform, we collect your name, email, company name, and business details. We also track platform usage and AI-generated outputs (e.g., custom solutions, ROI predictions).
Transactions: If you transact via the platform (e.g., stakeholders purchasing services), we collect billing details (e.g., payment method, address).
Updates: We use your contact information to send updates or offers based on your usage, with an option to opt out.

Automatically Collected Information

When you use our services, we automatically collect:

Device information (IP address, browser type, operating system)
Usage data (pages visited, time spent, interactions)
Location information
Cookies and similar tracking technologies

Use of Demographic / Profile Data / Your Information

We use your information to deliver requested services and enhance your experience.

Farmers: To provide AI-driven crop advisories, disease detection, ROI predictions, and day-to-day assistance (e.g., crop PoP) in your local language.
Stakeholders: To enable no-code app creation, optimize marketplace performance, and automate operations (e.g., supply chain intelligence, traceability)
General Uses: Resolve disputes, troubleshoot issues, ensure safety, measure interest in our Services, inform you of offers, customize content, detect fraud, enforce terms, and as described during collection.

We use IP addresses to diagnose server issues, administer our Services, and gather broad demographic data. Optional surveys may request contact or demographic details (e.g., location, age) to tailor your experience.

Cookies: These help us remember your preferences and improve functionality without storing personally identifiable information directly.

Sharing of Personal Information

We share your information only as necessary:

With Affiliates: We may share data with our corporate entities to prevent fraud, theft, or service abuse, and to offer joint services you request. Affiliates won't market to you unless you opt in.
Farmers: Anonymized, aggregated insights (e.g., crop trends) may be shared with stakeholders to improve their offerings—no personal farmer data is disclosed.
Stakeholders: Your operational data is processed for platform services and shared only with your consent (e.g., with partners like traders or FPOs).
Legal Disclosure: We may share information if required by law, subpoenas, or court orders, or to enforce our Terms, respond to claims, or protect users and the public.
Business Transfers: In a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, your data may be shared with the new entity, which must follow this policy.

Note: We do not sell farmer data or use it for revenue. Our focus is empowering farmers.

Links to Other Sites

Our Services may link to third-party websites or tools (e.g., weather APIs, payment gateways). We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.

Security Precautions

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
