Privacy policy
VarshaKrishi Udhyog Pvt. Ltd. (“VarshaKrishi”, “we”) provides satellite-based crop advisories to farmers in India. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do not do with it.
What we collect
- Field location and boundary. The coordinates or outline you provide for each field. This is the core input to the advisory — we cannot analyse a field without knowing where it is.
- Crop and sowing date. Used to determine growth stage and what a healthy field should look like at this point in the season.
- Sign-in identity. If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account identifier, email address, name and profile picture. If you use a phone number, we store that number. We store only what is needed to recognise you on your next visit.
- Profile details you choose to add — village, district, state, preferred language.
- Your feedback on advisories, including any comment or photograph you attach.
- Usage events — which screens you reach and when — used to understand where onboarding fails. These are stored on our own servers.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data, and we do not share field boundaries or locations with advertisers or data brokers.
- We do not use a third-party analytics vendor. Product analytics are first-party and self-hosted, specifically so that farmer locations and field geometry do not leave our systems.
- We do not read your Google contacts, files or mail. The Google sign-in we request covers your basic profile and email address only.
Who can see your data
Your fields and advisories are visible to you. If you are a member of an FPO, that FPO’s administrators can see the fields registered under it. VarshaKrishi staff assisting you — for example a field executive who created your account or visits your farm — can see your profile, fields and advisory history in order to support you. Staff access is limited by role and, for most roles, by region.
Satellite imagery
Satellite observations come from public programmes (Copernicus Sentinel, NASA HLS and similar). These are wide-area images of the earth that exist independently of you; we compute statistics for the boundary you gave us. Weather and soil data come from public services queried by approximate location.
Retention
We keep your fields and advisory history for as long as your account is active, because the value of the product comes from comparing a field against its own past. Advisory records are append-only: we keep a record of what we told you and when. Raw satellite scene files are deleted after processing.
Your choices
You can ask us to correct your details, deactivate your account, or disconnect a sign-in method. Deactivating hides your profile from the platform; we retain the advisory record of what was previously sent to you. To make a request, contact us using the details on the contact page.
Children
VarshaKrishi is intended for adults operating or advising on farmland.
Changes
We will update this page when the platform changes what it collects, and will change the date at the top.
