We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains transparently how ShyamKrishi Technologies collects and uses data to operate its smart farming platform. Please read it carefully.
1. Overview
ShyamKrishi Technologies Pvt Ltd ("ShyamKrishi", "we", "our", or "us") operates a smart agricultural IoT platform that collects farm and environmental sensor data to provide monitoring, analytics and AI-powered insights to farmers and agricultural businesses.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and how we protect it. It applies to our website, web dashboard, mobile application and associated IoT devices and services (collectively, the "Platform").
By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please do not use the Platform.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, phone number and organisation or farm details necessary to set up and manage your account.
Farm and Field Data: IoT sensors deployed on your farm collect environmental measurements including soil moisture, soil temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and related agronomic parameters. This data is transmitted to and stored on our cloud platform.
Device and Usage Data: We collect information about your devices, including device identifiers, firmware versions, connectivity status, battery levels and operational logs. We also collect usage data such as pages visited, features used, session duration and interaction logs within the Platform.
Communication Data: If you contact us by email, phone or through our contact form, we retain records of that communication to respond to your enquiry and improve our support.
Technical Data: We automatically collect technical data such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring URLs and access timestamps when you use our web services.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected for the following purposes:
Service Delivery: To operate, maintain and improve the Platform, including displaying sensor data on the dashboard, generating AI-powered recommendations and delivering alerts and notifications.
Account Management: To create and manage your user account, authenticate your identity, and manage your subscription and plan.
Communication: To respond to your enquiries, provide technical support, send service-related notifications (including device alerts and system updates), and — where you have opted in — to send product updates and relevant communications.
Analytics and Improvement: To analyse how the Platform is used, identify technical issues, understand user needs and continuously improve our products and services. We use aggregated and anonymised data where possible.
AI Model Training: Aggregated and anonymised sensor data may be used to train and improve the AI and machine learning models that power our recommendation engine. Individual farm data is not shared externally for this purpose.
Legal and Safety Obligations: To comply with applicable laws and regulations, respond to lawful requests from public authorities and protect the rights, property and safety of ShyamKrishi, our users and the public.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account information and farm data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide you with the Platform services.
If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, unless we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory or legitimate business purposes.
Sensor data may be retained in aggregated and anonymised form beyond account closure for the purposes of platform improvement and AI model development.
6. Data Security
We implement technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (TLS), encrypted storage, access controls, and regular security reviews.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.
