Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Farm Manager, a farm management application developed by ASSET GROVE PROPERTIES LTD. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our completely offline mobile application.

Farm Manager is designed as an offline-first application that helps farmers and agricultural professionals manage their land, track farming activities, manage seasons, and monitor their operations. Since our app operates entirely offline, we do not collect, process, or transmit any personal information to external servers.

By using Farm Manager, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our application.

2. Information We Collect

No Personal Information Collection: Farm Manager does not collect any personal information, user accounts, or identifying data. We do not have servers, databases, or any online infrastructure that could store your information.

Local Data Only: All information you enter into the application (such as land details, farming activities, seasonal data, and operational records) is stored locally on your device using secure Android storage mechanisms including:

• Room database for structured farm data
• DataStore for user preferences and settings
• Internal app storage for application state

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any external parties, including ASSET GROVE PROPERTIES LTD.

3. How We Use Information

Since Farm Manager operates entirely offline, we do not "use" your information in the traditional sense. The data you input serves the following purposes entirely within the application on your device:

• Farm Management: To help you organize and track your agricultural properties
• Activity Tracking: To record and monitor farming activities and work performed
• Seasonal Planning: To manage growing seasons and agricultural cycles
• Data Visualization: To display statistics and insights about your farm operations
• Application Functionality: To provide the core features and user experience

All processing occurs locally on your device. No analytics, tracking, or data analysis is performed by external services.

4. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage: All your data is stored locally on your Android device using Android's secure storage mechanisms:

• Room Database: Structured agricultural data is stored in an encrypted local database
• DataStore: User preferences and settings are stored using Android's secure DataStore
• Internal Storage: Application files are stored in the app's private directory

Android Security: Your data benefits from Android's built-in security features including app sandboxing, which prevents other applications from accessing Farm Manager's data.

No Cloud Storage: We do not use any cloud storage services, remote databases, or external data storage solutions.

Device Security: The security of your data depends on your device's security settings, including screen locks, encryption, and other device-level protections you have enabled.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

No Data Sharing: Since Farm Manager operates completely offline, we do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any user data to third parties. There is no mechanism in our application to transmit data externally.

Legal Obligations: As we do not collect or have access to any user data, there are no circumstances under which we could be compelled to disclose user information to law enforcement or government agencies.

Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, no user data would be transferred as we do not possess any user data.

6. Third-Party Services

No Third-Party Integrations: Farm Manager does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external APIs.

The application only uses standard Android and AndroidX libraries provided by Google as part of the Android operating system. These libraries do not transmit data externally when used in our offline context.

7. Children's Privacy

Farm Manager is designed for agricultural professionals and farm managers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Since our application operates entirely offline and does not collect any personal information, COPPA compliance concerns do not apply to our service.

If a child uses our application, all data remains local to their device and is not transmitted to us or any third parties.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your information:

• Access: You can view all your data directly within the Farm Manager application
• Edit: You can modify or update any information through the app's interface
• Delete: You can delete individual records or all data using the app's settings
• Complete Removal: Uninstalling the application will permanently remove all associated data from your device
• Data Portability: Currently, there is no built-in export functionality, but all data remains accessible within the application

You do not need to contact us to exercise these rights as you have direct control over all data through the application interface.

9. International Data Transfers

Not Applicable: Since Farm Manager operates entirely offline and does not transmit any data externally, there are no international data transfers. All your information remains on your device regardless of your geographic location.

10. Regional Privacy Compliance

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

For users in the European Union, Farm Manager's offline-only design inherently complies with GDPR principles as no personal data processing occurs outside your device.

UK GDPR

For users in the United Kingdom, our offline approach ensures compliance with UK data protection laws as no personal data is collected or processed by us.

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

For California residents, since we do not collect or sell personal information, CCPA disclosure and opt-out requirements do not apply to our service.

11. App Permissions

Farm Manager has been designed to require minimal permissions. Below is a complete list of permissions used by our application:

Note: Farm Manager does not request internet access, location services, camera access, or any other sensitive permissions. The app functions entirely with the basic permissions granted to all Android applications.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• Post the updated policy on our website
• If significant changes are made, we may provide additional notice through app updates or other communications

Since Farm Manager operates offline, we cannot notify you of policy changes through the app itself. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.

13. Contact Information

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us using the information provided above. While we cannot access your app data due to our offline design, we are happy to address any concerns about our privacy practices or the security features of Farm Manager.
