PRIVACY POLICY
Effective date: September 11, 2026
Field & Flock respects your privacy. This policy explains what information the app handles, why it is used, and the choices available to you.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
Field & Flock may store information you enter into the app, including:
• Animal, breeding, health, and production records
• Crop, garden, harvest, feed, inventory, and equipment records
• Chores, reminders, calendar events, and notes
• Income, expense, merchant, receipt, and other farm records
• Animal photos, receipt images, and optional feedback screenshots
• Feedback and support requests
• Your email address when you create an account or sign in
LOCAL AND CLOUD STORAGE
Field & Flock is designed to work offline. Records are saved on your device first.
If you create an account and use cloud sync, supported farm records are transmitted to and stored using Google Firebase services. Cloud records are separated by account and protected by authentication and database access rules.
Animal photos, receipt images, and feedback screenshots currently remain stored as files on your device and are not uploaded by Field & Flock’s cloud-sync feature.
ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Field & Flock uses Firebase Authentication to provide email-and-password accounts. Your email address and authentication information are processed by Firebase for account creation, sign-in, security, and account management.
Field & Flock does not display or store your readable password in its farm-record database.
CAMERA, PHOTOS, AND RECEIPT SCANNING
With your permission, Field & Flock can access the camera or photo library so you can attach animal photos, save receipts, or add a feedback screenshot.
Receipt text recognition is performed on the device to suggest details such as the merchant, date, and total. You should review suggested information before saving it.
LOCATION AND WEATHER
Location access is optional. When you select “Use current location,” Field & Flock obtains your device coordinates and stores them locally so it can provide weather information.
Your coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve weather conditions and forecasts. Field & Flock does not use location information for advertising or continuous background tracking.
NOTIFICATIONS
With your permission, Field & Flock may send local notifications for chores, reminders, calendar events, and other farm activities. Notification preferences can be changed through the app or your device settings.
HOW INFORMATION IS USED
Information is used to:
• Provide and operate Field & Flock’s features
• Save and organize your farm records
• Sync supported records across your devices when enabled
• Authenticate and protect your account
• Provide weather information and reminders
• Process receipt images on your device
• Respond to support requests and improve the app
SHARING OF INFORMATION
Field & Flock does not sell your personal information.
Field & Flock does not contain third-party advertising or use your farm records for targeted advertising.
Information may be processed by service providers needed to operate specific features, including Google Firebase for accounts and cloud records and Open-Meteo for weather requests. These providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Field & Flock may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect users, the app, or others.
DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
Local information remains on your device until you delete records, clear the app’s data, or uninstall the app. Some exported backups or copies may remain wherever you saved or shared them.
Cloud-synced records and account information may remain until they are deleted or an account-deletion request is completed. Backup systems operated by service providers may retain information for a limited period after deletion.
To request deletion of your Field & Flock account and associated cloud data, email:
fieldandflock.support@gmail.com
Use the subject line “Account and Data Request” and send the request from the email address connected to your Field & Flock account.
SECURITY
Field & Flock uses reasonable safeguards, including secure connections, authentication tokens stored using secure device storage, and account-based cloud access rules. However, no storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Field & Flock is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This Privacy Policy may be updated as Field & Flock changes. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when revisions are made. Continued use of the app after an update means the revised policy applies.
