Rules and Privacy Policy

The Agroneo application is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This policy details how we collect, use, and protect your data.

Agroneo is designed as a community-based technical sharing and documentation platform. By nature, the service is configured to promote the exchange of information between enthusiasts and professionals. By using the application's input features, the user acknowledges that the primary objective of the service is the online publication of technical information.

1 - Data Controller

Company : Codeur Pro
Contact : privacy@agroneo.com

2 - Data Collected

By entering technical data or uploading photographs, you perform a clear positive action aimed at making this information public within the Agroneo ecosystem.

Each content addition is considered a manifestation of your willingness to share this information with the community. If you wish to document your activities in a strictly confidential manner, you must imperatively activate the account privatization option before any input. The privatization option is accessible according to your subscription terms (see TOS).

Although technical data (crops, animals, photos) are public by default, Agroneo undertakes not to publicly display your email address or precise location (exact GPS coordinates) to third parties, unless you decide to manually include them in your descriptions or pseudonyms.

We collect the following information, voluntarily provided by the user:

2.1 Email Address

Providing an email address is mandatory for using Agroneo. This processing is based on the following purposes:

Authentication and Security: This address is essential for creating your personal and secure access to the application. It constitutes the unique identifier allowing us to recognize you and protect your data.
Account Recovery: In case of loss of your credentials, your email address is the only way to validate your identity and securely reset your password.
Service Communications: We may periodically send you information strictly related to the functioning of Agroneo (technical updates, changes to contractual terms, security alerts).
Privacy Protection: Your email address will never be sold or shared with third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes. We will not use it to promote third-party services or products not directly related to Agroneo's functionalities.

2.2 Name or Pseudonym

This data is used to personalize your user interface within Agroneo.

Data Origin: When you create an account via a third-party authentication service provider (such as Google or Apple), the name associated with that account is automatically imported by default.
Control and Modification: This name is not permanent. You are free to modify or delete it at any time from your profile settings to personalize your experience or preserve your anonymity.

2.3 Photos

This content is used to document visual tracking and constitute the history of your farm.

Technical Permissions: Using these features requires access to your device's camera or gallery. The application only requests these permissions when you decide to add a photo. No capture is made without your knowledge.
Voluntary Sharing: You freely choose the images you upload to Agroneo. By sharing these photos, you agree that they will be stored on our servers for service purposes.

2.4 Geolocation Data

Geolocation is used to enrich the tracking of your plots and provide you with contextual information (local weather, regional advice).

Technical Permissions: Using this feature requires access to your device's location service (GPS). The application only requests this permission when you decide to mark a position or activate a service related to your location. No geolocation is performed in the background without your knowledge.
Voluntary Sharing: You freely choose to georeference your plantations or installations on Agroneo. By entering or validating these coordinates, you agree that they will be stored on our servers for service purposes.

2.5 Technical Data

This information concerns the specific characteristics of your crops (varieties, sowing dates, treatments) and your animals (species, number, health monitoring).

Nature of Input: This data is manually entered by you via the application forms. Agroneo does not collect any technical information about your farm automatically without your intervention.

2.6 Statistics and Service Improvement

To improve user experience and ensure the technical stability of Agroneo, we collect data related to the use of the application:

IP Address Anonymization: We do not store your real IP address. Only an encrypted and irreversible version (hash) is kept, which allows us to measure audience without being able to identify or precisely locate you.
Technical Information: We collect data about your device (device model, operating system version) as well as the version of the Agroneo application used. This information helps us resolve bugs and optimize display on your screen.
Audience Measurement: We record the views consulted within the application. This data allows us to understand which features are most used to guide future developments of Agroneo.
No Cross-Referencing: This statistical data is processed in isolation and is in no way cross-referenced with your personal identification data (name or email address).

2.7 Protection of Minors

The Agroneo application is not intended for minors under 15 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 15. If we learn that data from minors has been collected without parental authorization, we will delete it immediately.

2.8 Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe, after contacting us, that your "Data Protection and Freedoms" rights are not respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In France, the supervisory authority is the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés): www.cnil.fr.

3 Account Deletion and Data Retention

Agroneo guarantees its users full control over the deletion of their data.

You can request the deletion of your account and all your personal data at any time by the following means:

In the application: By going to your profile settings within the application and using the "Delete my account" function.
By email: By sending your request to privacy@agroneo.com

Upon validation of your request, your email address, pseudonym, and secure accesses are permanently erased from our active databases within 30 days.

4 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and current French legislation, the Agroneo user has specific rights regarding their personal data.

4.1 Legal Bases for Processing

In accordance with Article 6 of the GDPR, the processing of your personal data by Agroneo is based on the following grounds:

Contract Performance: The processing of your email address and credentials is necessary to provide you with access to the service, manage your account, and ensure technical support. Without this data, we cannot perform the Agroneo service.
Your Consent: The collection and processing of your photos, geolocation, and technical characteristics of your farm are based on your explicit consent. You express this consent by voluntarily uploading this content or by activating permissions on your device. You can withdraw this consent at any time by deleting the content or revoking the permissions.
Legitimate Interest: The processing of your anonymized statistical data (IP hash, device version) and the use of technical data for training our AI models are based on our legitimate interest in improving the relevance of our services, ensuring the security of the application, and developing innovative decision-making tools for the agricultural community.
Legal Obligation: We may be required to retain or transmit certain data to comply with legal obligations or judicial requisitions.

4.2 Your Rights

As a user, you benefit from the following rights:

Right of Access: You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You can request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Erasure (Right to be forgotten): You can request the deletion of your account and all associated personal data upon simple request.
Right to Data Portability: You can request the retrieval of your data in a structured and readable format to transmit it to another service.
Right to Object and Restriction: You can object to the processing of your data for certain legitimate reasons or request the temporary suspension of its processing.

4.3 Exercising Your Rights

For any request concerning your personal data, you can contact us directly at the following address: privacy@agroneo.com. We commit to responding to your request within a maximum of 30 days.

4.4 Retention Period

Your personal data is retained as long as your account is active.

In case of account deletion, your identifiable personal data (email, name) are deleted from our databases.
Special case of technical data: As specified in the previous sections, technical data related to plantations and livestock that have undergone irreversible anonymization may be retained by Agroneo for statistical and artificial intelligence training purposes, as they no longer allow you to be identified.

4.5 Data Security

The security of your information is a priority. Agroneo implements robust technical and organizational measures, compliant with industry standards, to protect your data:

Encryption of Transfers: All data exchanges between your device and our servers are secured via the HTTPS protocol with state-of-the-art TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption, preventing information interception.
Protection of Credentials: Your passwords are never stored in "clear text". They are subject to secure and irreversible cryptographic hashing before storage.
Technical Anonymization: We use hashing mechanisms to irreversibly anonymize IP addresses upon collection.
Secure Infrastructure: Your data is hosted on Google Cloud Platform infrastructures, benefiting from high-level physical (monitored data centers) and logical (firewalls, container isolation) protections.
Constant Updates: We regularly apply security patches to our servers and the application to address new vulnerabilities.

Despite these measures, the user acknowledges that no data storage or transmission system over the Internet is infallible. The security of your account also depends on the strength of your password and the confidentiality of your credentials.

4.6 Users Outside the European Union (California and International)

Although Agroneo is governed by the GDPR, we apply high protection standards for all our users:

California (CCPA/CPRA): Agroneo does not sell your identifiable personal data. However, the sharing of anonymized technical data for AI training is governed by our TOS. If you reside in California, you have the right to request a list of the categories of data shared.
Right to Withdraw: Regardless of your country of residence, you can request the deletion of your data or the limitation of its sharing by contacting us

5 California Specific Provisions (CCPA/CPRA)

This section supplements our policy for California residents.

Sale and Sharing of Data: Agroneo does not sell your personal data (name, email) to third parties for remuneration. We do not "share" your data in the sense of the CCPA (i.e., for cross-context behavioral advertising).
Use of Farm Data: Technical data related to crops and livestock is used exclusively for the improvement of our services and the training of our AI models in anonymized and aggregated form. This de-identified data does not constitute personal information within the meaning of California law.
Your Rights: As a California resident, you have the right to know the categories of data collected, to request their deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
"Do Not Sell" Requests: As we do not sell your personal information, we do not offer an opt-out button. For any questions, contact us at privacy@agroneo.com.

6 Recipients and Sub-processors

To ensure the technical functioning of Agroneo, we use specialized service providers who act as sub-processors:

Data Hosting: The application and its database are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) servers. This provider guarantees high security standards and compliance with European data protection regulations.
Authentication: If you use Google or Apple services to log in, these entities receive the information necessary to validate your identity.
Technical Maintenance: Only authorized Agroneo personnel have access to server administration and stored data, solely for maintenance and support purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with other third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

7 Data Transfers Outside the European Union

As part of the application's operation, your personal data may be transferred to providers located outside the European Union (particularly in the United States), such as:

Google Cloud Platform (for data hosting and storage);
Google and Apple (for third-party authentication services).

To ensure an adequate level of protection, we ensure that these transfers are framed by legal mechanisms recognized by the European Commission, such as:

The Data Privacy Framework: Google and Apple are certified under this agreement, guaranteeing a level of protection equivalent to the GDPR for data transferred to the United States.
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): In the absence of certification, specific contracts approved by the European Commission are put in place to secure the processing of your data.

By using the application, you agree that some of your data may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence.

8 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Agroneo uses minimalist tracking technologies, limited to what is strictly necessary for the technical functioning of the application:

Session Cookie/Identifier: A single cookie is used to manage your authentication. It allows you to stay logged into your account during your navigation and ensures the security of your session.
Temporary Technical Identifier: In the context of use without a prior account, a random identifier may be generated locally. Its sole purpose is to allow the transfer of your local data to your definitive account during your authentication (anonymous account migration).

Absence of Advertising Tracking:

We do not use any cookies or trackers for advertising, marketing, or profiling purposes.
No permanent hardware identifier of your device (IMEI, UDID) is collected.

In accordance with CNIL directives, these tools being essential for the service you requested, they do not require prior consent, but we wish to inform you of their existence for transparency.

9 Changes to the Privacy Policy

Agroneo reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, particularly to comply with legal developments or to reflect the addition of new functionalities.

Validation Mechanism: Each time you open the application, our system checks the date of your last acceptance of the terms. If the privacy policy has been updated since your last validation, a new acceptance request will automatically appear on the screen.
Service Access: Acceptance of the latest version is imperative to continue using Agroneo services. This process ensures that you are always informed of the actual conditions of your data processing before any new input.
Consultation: You can consult the current version at any time in the application or on our website. The date of the last update is systematically indicated at the top of the document.
