DeepLeaf Privacy Policy

a. Image Data

We collect and process plant images submitted through our API by you or your end users. These images are used for disease detection and plant health analysis. Images may include metadata such as timestamps and geolocation data (limited to the second decimal place to preserve anonymity).

b. API Client Information

When you register for our API services, we collect business information such as your name, email address, company name, billing information, and contact details. We also collect technical information related to your API usage, including API calls, usage patterns, and performance metrics.

c. Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use our API, including IP addresses, device information, browser type (for web interfaces), operating system, and other usage data. This information helps us monitor and improve our services and troubleshoot technical issues.

b. Improving Our Technology

We use anonymized and aggregated image data to train, test, and improve our machine learning models. This helps us enhance the accuracy of our disease detection algorithms and develop new features. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in improving our services.

c. Business Operations

We use client information for essential business operations, including billing, account management, customer support, and communicating about service updates. This processing is necessary for our contractual relationship and legitimate business interests.

d. Research and Analytics

We analyze usage patterns and service performance to optimize our platform. We may also use anonymized data to conduct agricultural research and develop industry insights. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in advancing agricultural technology.

e. Legal Compliance

We may use your information to comply with applicable legal obligations, enforce our terms, protect our rights, and ensure the safety of our users and the public. This processing is based on our legal obligations and legitimate interests.

a. Data Storage

We store your information on secure servers located in the European Union and the United States. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Image data is stored for processing and model training purposes, while client account information is retained for the duration of our business relationship and as required for legal compliance.

b. Security Measures

We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption, access controls, regular security assessments, and employee training on data protection. We use HTTPS for all data transmission and secure our API with authentication tokens. While we implement strong security practices, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

c. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Image data used for model training may be retained indefinitely in an anonymized form. Client account information is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for legal and business purposes. You can request deletion of your data, subject to our legal obligations and legitimate business needs.

a. Service Providers

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who help us deliver our services, including:

1. Cloud infrastructure providers who host our platform
2. Payment processors who handle billing transactions
3. Customer support tools and services
4. Analytics providers who help us improve our services

These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing services to us and to maintain appropriate security measures.

b. Anonymized and Aggregated Data

We may share anonymized, aggregated data derived from our services with partners, researchers, and the public. This information cannot reasonably be used to identify you or your end users and may include statistics on plant disease prevalence, geographical trends, and other agricultural insights.

c. Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests from public authorities (e.g., court orders, subpoenas, or government requests). We may also share information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

d. Business Transfers

If DeepLeaf is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your information.

a. Access and Information

You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold about you and how we process it.

You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.

c. Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances, subject to our legal obligations and legitimate business needs.

d. Restriction and Objection

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal information and to object to certain processing activities.

e. Data Portability

In certain circumstances, you have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

a. End User Privacy

If you use our API in your applications or services, you are responsible for providing appropriate privacy notices to your end users and obtaining any necessary consents for the collection and processing of their information. You must inform your end users that their image data will be shared with DeepLeaf for plant disease detection and analysis purposes.

b. Data Minimization

You should only send us the information necessary for providing our services. Please ensure that any images and metadata you submit do not contain unnecessary personal information. We recommend limiting geolocation data to the second decimal place to prevent identification of specific individuals.
