1. Introduction Welcome to Kisan Rakshak AI. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the data of our users, primarily farmers in Gujarat. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
2. Information We Collect and How We Use It We only collect and use the information necessary for the app's features to function correctly:
Camera and Photos: To provide our core feature of identifying crop diseases, we require access to your device's camera and photo gallery. Photos you take or select of your crops are uploaded to our secure server for AI-based analysis and diagnosis. We do not use these photos for any other purpose.
Location Data: To provide you with accurate, local weather forecasts and regional market prices (Mandi rates), we collect your device's location. This data is used solely to fetch location-specific agricultural information.
Device Information: We automatically collect minimal technical data like device type, OS version, and app usage statistics. This helps us improve app performance, troubleshoot errors, and ensure a smooth user experience.
3. Data Sharing and Security We DO NOT sell your personal information or crop photos to third parties for marketing purposes.
We use Google's Gemini API to process and analyze crop photos for disease diagnosis. The photos are transmitted securely to Google's servers for this analysis. Google's policy for this API states that customer data (like your photos) is NOT used to train Google's machine learning models. Your photos are only processed to provide you with the diagnosis and are not permanently stored by our AI partner for their own use. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data during transmission and processing.
4. User Rights You have the right to withdraw permissions (camera, photos, location) at any time through your device's settings. Please note that withdrawing these permissions may affect your ability to use certain features of the app (e.g., disease diagnosis will not work if camera access is disabled).
5. Children's Privacy This app is not designed for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
6. Changes to This Policy We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
