CROPX, LLC · Precision Agronomy
CROPX, LLC, a limited liability company with its principal address at 721 S 3600 W, Ogden - 84404-9540, United States (US), publishes this Privacy Policy to explain plainly how the developer team behind CropX treats personal and farm information. This document governs the website of CropX and describes, section by section, what we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the choices a grower holds. We wrote it so that a busy farmer does not need a law degree to understand it.
The Privacy Policy exists to answer one straightforward question: what happens to the information a person shares with CROPX, LLC. Modern farming already depends on data. Seed files, planting maps, soil grids, chemical sheets and scale tickets are the quiet machinery of a profitable season. Our company regards that material as belonging to the grower, and this policy sets the boundaries that keep it that way.
We distinguish clearly between two kinds of information. First there is the contact material a visitor leaves when asking about services, such as a name, an email address, a telephone number and a message. Second there is the farm information that may arrive later through scouting notes, maps, sampling results and field planning work. The two are treated with equal care but under slightly different rules, and the sections below explain the difference.
Reading the full document matters because service terms and data practices can change with the law. We recommend a grower review this page with the same attention the company gives to a soil report. If any language is unclear, the contact details at the end of the page reach a real person at CROPX, LLC.
The services described on this website are delivered by CROPX, LLC, registered in the United States of America at 721 S 3600 W, Ogden - 84404-9540, United States (US). For most of this page the legal entity is called the Company or we or us. The field programme itself bears the name CropX, which is the brand and the developer identity behind the agronomy service we provide.
CropX is the developer that designed the practice and the website. When a grower reads a field note or a decision sheet, that work carries the CropX name. The legal responsibilities, including the duties in this Privacy Policy, rest with CROPX, LLC as the operating company. Keeping the brand and the legal entity separate on paper does not change the practical promise: the person on the other end of the field visit works for the Company.
If there is ever a question about which office holds which record, the central point of contact is the Company address set out in the header. Every enquiry is routed through one shared desk so that no farm detail falls between two departments.
We limit our collection to what is needed to serve the grower honestly. The kind of material we handle falls into the categories listed below, and we do not buy contact lists, scrape farms from public registries or add people to a marketing base without their own request.
Identity and contact information includes a full name, a physical address for the farm or office, an email address, and a telephone number. We ask for a subject line and message whenever the contact form is used. If a grower telephones us, we do not record the call as a matter of routine.
Farm information can include field boundaries, sizes, crops grown, observed plant stages, pest and weed notes, soil sample results, yield map readings, irrigation records and the fertiliser or seed inputs considered across a season. Payment and billing details are normally handled by the farm office through separate banking arrangements and are kept apart from agronomy records.
Farm data is the core of the working relationship and receives the highest protection in this policy. Field coordinates, yield surfaces and soil chemistry can reveal a great deal about a business, so we treat them as confidential business information rather than as ordinary customer data.
As a general rule we never use one grower farm data to advise another. CropX does not pool individual field results into a shared bench that a competitor could inspect, and we do not sell the underlying field coordinates to agri-business buyers. Aggregate, anonymised statistics that cannot be traced back to one farm may be used to improve the service, but only after every direct identifier has been stripped away.
A grower retains the right to see the farm records the Company holds, to request a corrected record, and to ask that the whole set be returned or destroyed when the working relationship ends. These rights are spelled out in the Your Rights section.
Information reaches us through the ordinary channels a farmer would expect. The primary route is the contact form on this website, where a visitor supplies a name, an email address and a message. Direct electronic mail to alert@cropx.autos and a telephone call to +15314592918 are the other two interview points.
During the work itself we collect data in the field with the same hands that write a paper notebook. Scouting sheets, drone or satellite imagery where a grower invites it, combine monitor exports, and grid sample laboratory reports all arrive with the grower knowledge and consent that a service agreement provides.
The website itself collects minimal technical information such as the browser type, the referring page and the general region of the visitor. This is used only to keep the site working and secure and is described further in the section on cookies.
Where privacy law in the United States or in a resident state applies, the Company relies on a lawful basis before processing personal information. For most agronomy work the basis is a genuine contract: the grower asks for a scouting walk, a soil grid or an input plan, and we need the relevant field data to deliver exactly that service.
For contact enquiries sent before any agreement exists, the basis is the legitimate interest of responding to a message a person freely chose to send, balanced against the limited nature of the information involved. Where a larger duty applies, such as a tax or record-keeping obligation, the basis is compliance with law.
We do not process personal information in a way that requires consent without first obtaining that consent clearly at the point of collection. Any marketing message would carry an easy way to stop it, and at present the Company sends none by default.
Every use of information serves the grower or the law. The list below states the uses plainly. We answer questions a visitor asks through the contact form. We prepare scouting schedules, sample plans, field maps, input sheets and irrigation calendars for growers who engage the service. We invoice and record work where billing applies.
We also use records internally to improve the quality of the advice we give, to train the team so a field note from one season reads well in the next, and to keep the website working correctly. When statutory records are required, such as for environmental or financial compliance, we keep them for the period the law demands and no longer.
We do not use personal information to make automated decisions that would change a price or deny a service without a person reviewing the matter. A farmer always gets a human on the other end of a field question.
As with any small company, a handful of trusted providers help the work run: a web host that stores this site, an email service that carries alert@cropx.autos, a laboratory that analyses soil and tissue samples, a cloud storage provider that holds field files, and a telephone line operator. Each provider signs a boundary that it may only touch the data needed for the specific job and may not use it for its own ends.
When a provider is located outside the United States, we rely on recognised safeguards before sending data across the border, and we vet the provider against the same security standard we apply to ourselves. We do not engage every provider willing to take the job; we keep the number small so that responsibility stays clear.
Should a provider change, we review the replacement with the same care and update our internal records so the grower always knows, if asked, which party currently holds which slice of the work.
Field data deserves the same security as bank records because, in many ways, that is what it represents for a farming business. CROPX, LLC applies sensible, proven measures to keep information safe: encrypted connections when data moves, password controls on every account, restricted access so only the team members who need a file can reach it, and regular review of who holds the keys.
Paper records, where they exist, are held at the Company office at 721 S 3600 W, Ogden - 84404-9540, United States (US) and are locked away when the day ends. Laptops and tablets used in the field carry full-disk protection so a lost device does not become a data breach.
No method of storage is perfect, and we do not claim that it is. What we promise is diligence: tested routines, prompt reaction to any suspected incident, and a clear note to the affected grower if a breach creates a real risk to them.
Records are kept only as long as they serve a purpose. Contact messages that never grow into a working relationship are held for a short window so a return visit can pick up where the first note ended, and are then removed. Records of an actual scouting or planning season are kept for as long as the grower wants the field history available, because a good five year side-by-side is worth more each passing autumn.
Legal, tax and accounting records follow the periods set by the rules that apply at the Company address in the United States. When a stated retention period ends, the information is deleted or anonymised in a way that can no longer identify the grower.
If a grower asks the Company to delete farm data before the natural retention window closes, the request is honoured except for any slice that a separate legal duty requires the Company to keep.
A grower or a visitor has rights over the personal information the Company holds. Those rights include the right to ask what data is held, the right to receive a readable copy, the right to correct a mistaken record, and the right in some regions to ask that the data be limited or destroyed.
To exercise a right, send a dated note to CROPX, LLC at the address above, or use alert@cropx.autos, and describe which right is being asked for. The Company will respond within the time the law allows and will never punish a grower for asking a fair question.
Before releasing a copy of farm data the Company will verify the requester identity with a simple check, because field records are exactly the kind of file a stranger must not collect by impersonation.
The website of CropX is meant for adults who run farming businesses and is not directed at children under the age of thirteen years. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child, and a parent who believes a child has sent such information may ask at alert@cropx.autos and it will be removed without delay.
The farm itself is often a family place where younger members help with chores, but the enquiry and the decision about a service should come from the adult who carries responsibility for the enterprise. If a message arrives that appears to come from a minor, the Company will not add that address to any record and will simply answer once without retaining the details.
We ask families to supervise any young person who browses the website so that no accidental submission occurs.
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal asking a website to stop gathering information about a visitor. Because this site gathers no meaningful tracking profile anyway, the Company does not change its behaviour when such a signal arrives; the result for the grower is identical either way.
The only page level information seen is the technical detail that a web server records in passing, such as the requesting address and the browser label, used to diagnose faults and block abuse. None of it is used to advertise to the visitor or to build a consumer profile.
If the site ever introduces a facility that genuinely tracks a person across the internet, this section will be rewritten to state clearly how the Do Not Track signal is honoured.
The Company is based in the United States and normally stores grower records on servers within the United States. If a grower works from another country and data must move across a border for the work to proceed, the Company applies suitable safeguards so the level of protection is not weakened by the transfer.
A grower outside the United States should understand that United States law may offer a different privacy regime from the law at home. The Company will still honour the core promises in this policy wherever the grower lives, and the contact route for any concern remains open at all times.
For any grower who prefers not to have records leave a chosen region, that preference can be discussed before work starts by writing to alert@cropx.autos.
This Privacy Policy may be updated as the service grows or as the law changes. When a material change is made, the revised date will be marked at the top of the page and a grower who holds an active relationship will be told through the email address on file.
Older versions are not kept live on the site, so a grower who keeps a copy of an earlier policy can always compare the two. Sharing an updated policy does not give the Company the right to apply new practices to old records in a way a grower has not agreed to.
By continuing to use the site after an update a visitor accepts the revised version as of the date shown.
For any question, correction request or complaint about this Privacy Policy, write first to the Company at 721 S 3600 W, Ogden - 84404-9540, United States (US), or send an email to alert@cropx.autos, or telephone +15314592918. A real person at CROPX, LLC will read the message and reply.
We prefer to resolve a concern at the first step, because a field neighbour relationship depends on trust. If a grower feels the answer is not sufficient and the law offers a supervisory route, the grower may also bring the matter to the relevant data protection authority where such authority exists for the place of residence.
Thank you for reading. We take the care shown in these pages out to the fields with us, and we hold the same standard for a grower record that we hold for our own good name.
