Effective Date: 15th October 2024
Welcome to AgInputs, a product of MDY Analytics. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we approach data privacy in AgInputs, an offline agricultural input analytics tool.
AgInputs is built on the following privacy principles:
- Zero data collection
- Offline functionality
- On-device processing
- User data control
3.1 No Personal Data Collection
AgInputs does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information from its users. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Location data
- Device identifiers
Unlike many apps, AgInputs does not track or collect data about how you use the app. Your usage patterns, frequency of use, and specific features used remain private and are not monitored or recorded.
All analytics processes in AgInputs occur locally on your device. We do not collect or have access to the results of your analyses or any data you input into the app.
Any data generated through your use of AgInputs (such as custom inputs for yield predictions or saved analysis results) is stored exclusively on your device's local storage. This data remains under your control and is subject to your device's built-in security measures.
AgInputs does not offer cloud storage or data synchronization features. This ensures that your data stays solely on your device and is not transmitted over the internet.
Since all data is stored locally on your device, data retention and deletion are under your control. You can delete the app's data through your device's settings or by uninstalling the app.
AgInputs is designed to function entirely offline. After installation, the app does not require an internet connection to operate, ensuring that no data can be inadvertently transmitted.
The app does not run any background processes that could potentially connect to the internet when the app is closed.
AgInputs does not contain any links to external websites or services. All functionality is self-contained within the app.
We do not incorporate any third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) or libraries that could potentially collect data.
While we cannot control the data collection policies of your device's app store (e.g., Apple App Store), our app itself does not share any information with these platforms beyond what is automatically collected during the installation process.
While AgInputs itself does not implement additional encryption, any data stored by the app is protected by your device's built-in encryption systems.
The app relies on your device's access controls (such as passcodes, fingerprints, or facial recognition) to protect access to its data.
As all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over your data. This includes the right to access, modify, export, and delete your data through your device's built-in functionalities.
Any updates to AgInputs will be made available through your device's app store. We encourage users to keep their app updated for the best experience and latest features.
If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and may provide additional notification within the app itself.
AgInputs is not designed for or directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from persons under 13 years of age.
As AgInputs does not collect or transmit any data, there are no international data transfers to consider.
While AgInputs's no-data-collection policy inherently complies with most data protection regulations, we remain committed to monitoring and adhering to relevant privacy laws and regulations.
