Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Field2Fare. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing the Platform, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three primary ways:

• Information You Provide Directly: This includes your name, email address, phone number, profile photo, and any other details you provide when creating an account, claiming a farm stand, or contacting support.
• Information Collected Automatically: When you use the Platform, we automatically collect device information, IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and usage data (such as search queries, pages viewed, and interaction metrics). If you grant permission, we also collect precise geographic location data to show you nearby farm stands.
• Information from Third Parties: We may receive information about you from third-party authentication providers (e.g., Google, Apple, Facebook) if you choose to sign in via those services.

3. How We Use Your Information

We utilize the collected data to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Platform and its features.
• Provide personalized recommendations and location-based services.
• Facilitate communication between users and farm stand producers.
• Process transactions and send related notifications, including security alerts and support messages.
• Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities to enhance user experience.
• Enforce our Terms of Service and protect the safety and security of Field2Fare, our users, and the public.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, database management via Supabase, and analytics), subject to strict data protection agreements.
• With Other Users: If you are a producer, your stand location, public profile, and contact information you choose to display will be visible to other users.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental request, or to protect our legal rights.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as a business asset.

6. Your Rights and Choices

• Account Information and Data Deletion: You may update, correct, or delete your account information at any time within the app settings. If you no longer have access to the app, or wish to request the complete and permanent deletion of your account and all associated personal data, you may submit a deletion request by emailing dev@field2fare.com.
• Location Data: You can disable location tracking at the device level, though this may limit platform functionality.
• Marketing Communications: You may opt-out of receiving promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in those emails.

7. Data Security

We implement robust, industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no digital platform can guarantee 100% security, and you use the Platform at your own risk.

8. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it immediately.

9. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Platform constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
