Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 17, 2026
AgriForge ("AgriForge," "we," "us," or "our") provides farm-management software for livestock, crops and fields, maintenance and assets, and related features (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have.
This policy is written to align with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Saskatchewan law. If you access the Service from outside Canada, you understand that your information will be processed in Canada and other countries as described below.
The legal entity responsible for your personal information (the "data controller") is:
John Fodchuk (sole proprietor, operating as AgriForge)
Saskatchewan, Canada
Privacy contact: [email protected]
1. Scope
This policy applies to personal information we collect through:
- the marketing site at agriforge.farm;
- the web application at app.agriforge.farm; and
- related communications (email, SMS, and support).
It does not apply to third-party services you connect to or link out from the Service, which are governed by their own privacy policies.
A note on roles: when you use AgriForge to manage your own farm operation, we act as the organization deciding how your account information is handled. For the operational records you enter about your business (livestock, fields, assets, and any personal information of your team members or contacts), you are the controller of that content and we process it on your behalf under our Terms of Service and, where applicable, our Data Processing Addendum.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account and identity. Your name, email address, and/or mobile phone number. AgriForge uses passwordless sign-in, so we send a one-time code to your email or phone to verify you; we do not store a password.
- Operation profile. Farm or operation name, operation type (livestock, crops, mixed), rough size (herd, acreage), number of users/sites, and similar details you provide when setting up or requesting an Enterprise proposal.
- Team and contacts. If you invite team members, we collect their name and email/phone to provision access. Any personal information about third parties you enter into records is your responsibility to collect lawfully.
- Billing information. Plan selection and billing details. Card payments are processed by our payment processor (Stripe); we do not store full card numbers on our systems.
- Support and communications. Messages you send us, including bug reports and feature ideas submitted in-app.
2.2 Operational content you enter
The Service stores the records you create to run your operation, which may include:
- Livestock records — animals, identifiers, breed, sex, weight, status, bloodlines, health and condition notes, and photos of animals.
- Crops and fields — field boundaries, geolocation and map data, plantings, growth stages, yields, rotation history, and crop-protection records (including pre-harvest interval / re-entry interval data).
- Maintenance and assets — equipment and infrastructure details, serial numbers, service intervals, work logs, invoices, and uploaded photos.
- Inventory — items, quantities, and categories.
- EID/RFID data — electronic identifiers captured or looked up for livestock (Pro and above).
This content is generally about your operation rather than about identifiable individuals, but it may incidentally contain personal information (for example, a contact name on an invoice).
2.3 AI features
Some features use artificial intelligence:
- AI photo intelligence analyzes animal photos to assist with identification, weight, and condition estimates.
- AI chat assistant lets you describe changes in plain language and records them for you.
- Generated images (Pro and above) can create illustrative photos.
To provide these features, content is processed as follows. Photo analysis (animal identification, weight, and condition) runs on AgriForge's own servers hosted on DigitalOcean; photos are not sent to a third-party model for this. The chat assistant and image generation send your prompts, and any content you include, to third-party AI providers acting as our service providers — xAI (the Grok models) and Anthropic (the Claude models) — which process that content under their own data-use terms (see the xAI privacy policy and the Anthropic privacy policy). These providers do not use content submitted through their business APIs to train their models. We do not use your operational content to train third-party public AI models.
2.4 Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data — IP address, browser/device type, pages and features used, and timestamps.
- Cookies and local storage — see our Cookie Policy.
- Approximate location — derived from IP or field map data to show local weather and field information.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- create and administer your account and authenticate you via one-time codes;
- provide, maintain, and improve the Service and its features;
- process payments, manage subscriptions, and send billing notices;
- provide AI-assisted features you choose to use;
- respond to support requests and act on bug reports;
- send service and transactional messages (e.g., sign-in codes, billing, security notices);
- send product updates or marketing where permitted, which you can opt out of at any time (see Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation, CASL); and
- protect the security and integrity of the Service, prevent fraud and abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Our legal basis. Under PIPEDA we rely on your consent, which may be express or implied depending on the sensitivity of the information and the context. By providing information and using the Service you consent to the uses described here. You may withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice (this may limit our ability to provide the Service).
4. How we share information
We share personal information only as described here:
- Service providers (sub-processors). We use trusted vendors to operate the Service: DigitalOcean (hosting and storage), Stripe (payment processing), Resend and Twilio (delivery of email and SMS sign-in codes), Google Maps (maps and satellite imagery), Open-Meteo (local weather data), and xAI and Anthropic (AI chat and image features). They may process information only on our instructions and under confidentiality and security obligations. A current list with processing locations is maintained in our Data Processing Addendum.
- Within your organization. Records and account activity are visible to other members of your operation according to their access.
- Legal and safety. Where required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and the security of the Service.
- Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing.
5. Storage, transfers, and security
We host the Service on DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure located in the United States, and we use service providers that may process data in the United States, Canada, and other countries. Where information is processed outside your country, it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, including lawful access by courts and authorities. We use contractual and technical safeguards to require comparable protection.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and passwordless authentication. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Retention
We keep personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, then for a reasonable period to meet legal, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution obligations. You can export your operational data at any time. When you delete content or close your account, we delete or de-identify the associated personal information within 90 days, except where retention is required by law or for backups that are cycled out on a regular schedule.
7. Your rights and choices
Subject to PIPEDA and applicable law, you may:
- Access the personal information we hold about you and request information about how it has been used and disclosed;
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Withdraw consent or opt out of marketing communications;
- Export your data using the in-app export tools; and
- Close your account and request deletion.
To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by law (generally 30 days under PIPEDA). We may need to verify your identity before acting. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca) and, for matters within its jurisdiction, the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner (oipc.sk.ca).
8. Children
The Service is intended for use by businesses and adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority in their province/territory. If you believe a minor has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide additional notice (such as in-app or by email). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
