  • Farm data — farm and field names, locations, crops planted, planting and harvest records, and Kumea N inoculant received.
  • Usage data — basic app activity needed to keep the service working and syncing your records.

3. Why we collect it

  • To provide the app: registering farms, recording seasons, and tracking distribution.
  • To support the Farm Africa Village-Based Agent programme and similar programmes.
  • To calculate and record agent commissions.
  • To improve our products and services.

4. What we do NOT do

  • We do not sell your personal data.

5. Who we share with

  • Programme partners (e.g. Farm Africa) for programme reporting, in aggregate or as needed to deliver services.
  • Authorities, where required by law.

6. How we protect it

Data is stored securely with encryption in transit and at rest. Access is limited to staff who need it to run the service.

7. How long we keep it

For as long as your account is active, and as needed to meet legal and programme reporting obligations.
