    Privacy Statement for ‘Cloud Farmer’

    Introduction
    Privacy is an important issue and one that we take seriously.  By using Cloud Farmer you accept the terms of our Privacy Policy and agree to our Terms And Conditions.

    Cloud Farmer is a cloud based web application, provided by AgRecord.  All technical aspects of the company are provided by us and our contractors, so by allowing AgRecord access to your information as detailed below, you are also agreeing to allow access to those who are contracted to work for us.  The nature of our business means that our system stores your information in the cloud for you.  You are in complete control of what content you input into your system and you are solely responsible for managing how much private information you want to store on there, including bank account numbers, passwords, identification codes etc.

    The following privacy statement summarises the information that we collect, how we use the information and the security precautions that we take. ‘Personal Information’ is defined as information about an individual, whose identity is apparent or could reasonably be ascertained from the information.  ‘Farm Data’ contains information pertaining to the farming business and does not contain personal information.  Farm businesses owned by companies are still considered to be ‘Personal Information’ due to the nature of farm business analysis.
