● YOUR DATA · PLAIN WORDS

Your field, your number, your call.

FarmPartner needs to know where your field is to read it from space, and your number to reply to you. Here is exactly what we keep, who sees what, and how to make it go away.

What goes where

Every outside service FarmPartner talks to, and what it receives.

SERVICE
RECEIVES
DOES NOT RECEIVE
NASA, USDA, Open‑Meteo, geocoders

✕ Phone number, name, the rest of your messages
Claude (Anthropic) — the AI
Your messages and photos, your field’s area and data
✕ Phone number, or the numbers, e‑mails and coordinates you type

Short searches about crops and farming
✕ Phone number, name, location
Google Cloud speech
Your voice notes, to write them down, and our replies, to read them aloud
✕ Phone number, location
Twilio · WhatsApp · SMS
Your number and every message, photo and voice note — they carry them
✕ Your field data beyond the replies themselves
Maps (OpenStreetMap, Esri, unpkg)
Your IP address and the map area on screen, when you open a field report or the web demo
✕ Phone number, name, messages
Google Cloud (our server)
Technical logs with your IP address when you use the website, kept about 30 days
✕ Phone number, what you write

The fine print, still in plain words

What we keep

Your phone number, language, your field’s location and crops, your goals, the conversation (voice notes as their written text), and anything you report (rain, pests, yields). We keep them together so the bot remembers your field next time you write.

What we don’t keep

Raw satellite images: we store only the summaries computed for your field (rainfall, soil, vegetation trends). Nor the photos and voice recordings you send: we read them and keep only the text.

Pseudonymised when it leaves us

What we send to outside services is stripped of your phone number and of any numbers, e‑mails or coordinates you type.

How long we keep it

As long as you keep writing. After 12 months without a message from you, we delete your number, your fields and the conversation automatically. Spoken replies are stored as audio for 30 days, so WhatsApp can deliver them, then deleted.

Where it lives

In a private Postgres database (Supabase, in Ireland) that only the FarmPartner server, which runs on Google Cloud in Belgium, can read. Public access to its tables is switched off.

Deleting your data

Text RESET to remove your fields, their history and the locations you sent. To erase your number and conversation as well, e‑mail hello@farmpartner.space from anywhere, with the number you used.

Who is responsible

The FarmPartner team, which built it for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026 in Bilbao, Spain. Write to hello@farmpartner.space about anything on this page.

Why we use your data

Only to answer you and, if you want them, to send you weather alerts for your field. You ask for this by writing to FarmPartner, and you can stop at any time.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, download or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Write to us and we reply within a month. You can also complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).

Outside Europe

Twilio, Anthropic and Google are U.S. companies, so what they receive (listed above) leaves the EU. They handle it under their data processing terms for European users, which include the EU’s standard contractual clauses.
