We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully. It describes various categories of information the Agworld.com website and Agworld applications and services (including Greenbook and the www.greenbook.net website) collect and use in providing services to you and how we collect, use and protect that information. If you use our online services in any capacity, whether as a grower, agronomist, product supplier or other industry participant and whether on a free trial basis or as a subscriber you will be entitled to the protections set out in this Privacy Policy and also subject to its terms.
Additional information about our privacy practices concerning the Greenbook services and greenbook.net website can be found in the Greenbook Privacy Notice.
When you access our website or use our online services, directly or through your employer, we may collect the following information, including personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”), about you, and, if necessary, other users associated with your company or organization:
Website:
Application (including Mobile Apps) and Services:
We may use your information:
While using the website and services are not conditioned on your providing Agworld any specific piece of information, choosing not to provide us certain information could affect the functioning of the website and applications where those functions are related to the information withheld.
Generally, Agworld stores the information it collects, including Personal Information, in servers within the region where the customer resides. However, where that is impractical, Agworld will transfer information to secure servers that it regularly uses in other parts of the world. Agworld stores the information it collects for the duration as requested by the user or organization controlling the account, and as long as necessary for improving the website and services, and as required by law. For more information, please contact privacy@agworld.com.
We will not disclose or share your information with third parties except in the following circumstances, or as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy:
Disclosure to Third Party Providers and Subprocessors. Agworld uses third-party service providers or data subprocessors to assist in providing analytics, data storage, and other services. A list of the subprocessors we use to support delivery of the services may be requested by emailing privacy@agworld.com.
Disclosure Third-Party Integrations and APIs. At your direction, we may disclose your information to third-parties with whom you have contracted to provide you separate services, through integrations and/or APIs.
Disclosure to Unaffiliated Third Parties. We may disclose your information to respond to legal requirements, to protect or enforce our rights and policies, to protect or enforce the rights of a third party, to prevent harm to a person or as required or permitted by law, including, without limitation, to comply with a subpoena or court order.
Disclosure of Non-Personal Information. We may disclose your aggregated or de-identified information to any party including potential business partners, advertisers, investors, users, and other third parties.
Disclosure to Corporate Affiliates and Successors. Agworld may disclose information, including Personal Information to its parent company, subsidiaries or other corporate affiliates, if any. If Agworld engages in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of some or all of its assets, or similar transaction, or takes steps in contemplation of such transactions (e.g., due diligence), information, including Personal Information may be shared or transferred with a new or prospective owner, subject to standard confidentiality agreements.
Disclosure With Your Consent. In addition to the sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may share information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Agworld if we obtain your consent to do so.
As noted above, Agworld offers its users the opportunity to use and transfer information to third-party service providers within the application. Agworld will only do this at your direction and with service providers you have a direct relationship with. Accordingly, Agworld does not control how those providers collect and use the information you transfer to them. You should only transfer information from our applications to service providers whose privacy practices meet yours and your organizations standards. Further, many individuals may have their Personal Information transferred from Agworld to third-party service providers at the request of the employer or organization that created the account for that individual. Employer account holders are in control of their employee’s Personal Information and individuals who have had their data transferred to third-parties by their employer’s account should address any issues they have concerning such transfers with their employers and with the third-parties their employers directed that information be disclosed.
We collect and aggregate data and information, including agricultural data, from a number of sources. That data and information help us among other things to identify and analyze trends, set benchmarks, observe customer behaviour, participate in research and development programs and improve our products and services. That data and information are aggregated so that no individuals nor their farm and business operations can be identified, and so that none of their specific Personal Information can be ascertained.
Examples of such data which we include as aggregated information include crop types, levels of pest infestation and reported crop diseases and long range weather and climate patterns, in each case across counties, regions, states and countries.
If you are not comfortable with your data and information, including any agricultural data you provide us, being included in any aggregated information then you can elect to opt-out of the collection and use of your data and information for such purposes on the opt-out terms more particularly set out in the then-applicable contract between you (or your employer) and Agworld (or, as applicable, by exercising the appropriate data subject rights in the relevant jurisdiction, if any). For more information, please contact us at privacy@agworld.com.
