FARM SCOUT LLC – PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 02-25-2026

1. Overview

Farm Scout LLC ("FarmScout™," "we," "our," or "us") operates a subscription-based mobile application for consumers and a web-based portal for producers, accessible at app.farmscoutapp.com. Together these allow consumers to discover nearby farms, nurseries, seafood markets, vineyards, and independent sellers throughout the United States, and allow producers to manage their listings and update real-time inventory. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect across both platforms, how we use it, and your rights.

2. Information We Collect

A. Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect: Name, Email address, and Subscription status information provided by Apple or Google. Farm Scout LLC does not receive or store full payment card numbers.

A2. Subscription and Payment Information

FarmScout™ offers paid consumer subscriptions processed through Apple In-App Purchase (iOS) and Google Play Billing (Android). Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google. Farm Scout LLC does not receive, process, or store full payment card numbers or banking details. We receive only limited subscription status information (e.g., whether a subscription is active, expired, or cancelled) from Apple or Google to grant or restrict access to subscriber features. Your use of in-app purchases is also governed by Apple's Terms of Service or Google Play's Terms of Service.

B. Location Information (While Using the App Only)

With your permission, Farm Scout accesses your device's location only while you are actively using the app to show nearby sellers and sort results by proximity. We do not collect location in the background, do not store location history, do not sell location data, and do not track users across third-party apps or websites. You may disable location access at any time in your device settings.

C. Producer-Submitted Information

Producers may submit inventory lists, product descriptions, and business contact information. FarmScout does not accept photo or logo uploads from producers or any third parties. No image or media files are accepted or stored. This information is publicly visible within the app.

D. Publicly Available Business Information

Farm Scout LLC compiles and displays business listing information gathered from publicly available sources and producer submissions. This may include business name, address, phone number, website, operating hours, and general descriptive information. We display such information for directory and discovery purposes only. Inclusion of a listing does not imply endorsement, partnership, or affiliation with Farm Scout LLC. Farm Scout LLC does not independently verify all publicly sourced information and encourages users to confirm details directly with the business. If you are an authorized representative of a listed business and would like to update, correct, or request removal of your listing, please contact: privacy@farmscout.ai. We may require reasonable verification before processing changes.

E. Technical Information

We may collect limited technical data such as device type, operating system, app version, and crash logs. We do not use advertising SDKs or third-party behavioral tracking tools.

The producer web portal at app.farmscoutapp.com may also collect standard web session data including browser type, IP address, and login session tokens, solely for the purpose of authenticating and securing producer accounts. This data is not shared with third parties and is not used for advertising.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Service, display nearby farm listings, manage subscriptions and account access, respond to support requests, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with Apple and Google for subscription billing, and Google Maps and Apple Maps for directions. These services operate under their own privacy policies. Our website uses cookies provided by GoDaddy for analytics purposes. You may accept or decline these via the cookie banner displayed on our site.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request deletion by emailing privacy@farmscout.ai. Inventory submitted by producers may remain visible unless removed or suppressed in accordance with our policies.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to access personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccuracies, and request deletion. To exercise your rights, email: privacy@farmscout.ai. We may verify identity before processing requests.
