🛡 Data Compliance

Data You Can Trust

FarmOps is built on a foundation of privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.

Farmer Consent

Built on Explicit Farmer Consent

Every dataset in Crop Vault is sourced from farmers who have knowingly and willingly opted in. Consent is specific, revocable, and documented.

✓Farmers explicitly opt in to data sharing before any records are collected.
✓Data is anonymized before aggregation and never tied to an individual operation.
✓No individual farm is ever identifiable in data outputs delivered to buyers.
✓Farmers can withdraw consent at any time, and their data is removed within 30 days.
Anonymization

How We Protect Individual Privacy

How We Anonymize

  • ◆Minimum farm count thresholds applied to every data cell
  • ◆Geographic blurring at county and regional level
  • ◆Temporal aggregation to prevent back-calculation of individual records

What Buyers Receive

  • ◆Regional aggregates covering multi-county and state-level areas
  • ◆Statistical summaries including means, ranges, and confidence intervals
  • ◆Trend data only — never individual farm records or identifiers
Security

Enterprise-Grade Security Infrastructure

🔐

256-Bit AES Encryption

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES-256, the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies.

👤

Role-Based Access Controls

Granular permissions limit data access by user role, subscription tier, and approved use case. All access events are logged and auditable.

📋

Regular Third-Party Security Audits

Independent security firms conduct comprehensive audits of our infrastructure, code, and data handling practices on an annual basis.

🔎

Penetration Testing

External penetration tests are performed twice per year to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Governance

Clear Rules. Enforceable Standards.

Data Retention Policies

Farmer data is retained only for the duration of active consent. Upon withdrawal, records are deleted within 30 days. Aggregated outputs are retained under anonymization standards for analytical continuity.

Breach Notification Procedures

In the event of a data breach, affected parties are notified within 72 hours in accordance with GDPR Article 33 and applicable U.S. state breach notification laws.

Buyer Data Use Restrictions

All buyers agree to a data use agreement prohibiting re-identification attempts, unauthorized redistribution, and use outside the approved scope of their subscription.
