The Maine Agriculture Data Promise & Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 29, 2025

Our Core Promise: Your Data is Your Property. Period.

At Maine Agriculture, we don't just sell data; we build partnerships based on trust. The data we collect from your farm, field, or worksite is your proprietary information. Our business is to help you analyze it, not to own it, sell it, or share it. This policy explains how we handle information in a way that respects your privacy and reinforces your ownership.

1. The Two Types of Data We Handle

To be crystal clear, we handle two completely different types of data:

• Standard Contact Information: When you contact us or request a consultation, you provide basic information like your name, email address, and phone number. We use this only to communicate with you about your project.
• Proprietary Client Data: This is the data we capture and generate specifically for your project. This includes raw drone imagery, orthomosaic maps, 3D models, volumetric calculations, crop health analyses, and any other project-specific reports. This data belongs to you.
• 
  

2. How We Use Your Data

• Standard Contact Information is used for communication, project management, and billing. We may occasionally send you information about our new services, but you can opt out at any time.
• Proprietary Client Data is used exclusively to provide the services you hired us for. We use it to create your maps, run our analysis, and generate your reports. We may use anonymized, non-identifiable data snippets to train and improve our internal AI models, but this data will never be linked to you or your specific location.
• 
  

3. The Golden Rule: We Do Not Sell or Share Your Data

Let's be blunt: we are not in the business of selling data. We will never sell, rent, or share your Standard Contact Information or your Proprietary Client Data with third parties for marketing purposes.

The only time your data might be seen by another party is if we use a secure, vetted third-party cloud provider (like Amazon AWS or Google Cloud) for data processing and storage. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality and security agreements and do not have permission to use your data for any other purpose.

4. Data Security: How We Protect Your Property

We take the security of your data seriously. We use a combination of industry-standard security measures to protect it from loss, theft, and unauthorized access. This includes access controls, data encryption, and secure storage solutions. While no system is 100% impenetrable, we are committed to providing a secure environment for your information.

5. Data Retention: How Long We Keep It

We retain your Standard Contact Information for as long as we have a business relationship and as required by law. We retain your Proprietary Client Data for the duration of your project and for a set period afterward to allow you to access it. You have the right to request the deletion of your project data at any time after the project is complete.

6. Your Rights & Control

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold for your project at any time.
• Correction: Correct any inaccurate contact information we have on file.
• Deletion: Request the deletion of your Proprietary Client Data from our active systems.
• 
  

7. Website Cookies

Like most websites, maineagriculture.ai uses cookies to help the site function and to understand visitor traffic. These are standard web technologies and do not give us access to your personal computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. The most current version will always be available on our website.
