Ahırım Cebimde Privacy Policy
Ahırım Cebimde is a herd management application for dairy and beef cattle farms (iOS, Android and web). This policy explains what data is processed when you use the app, why it is processed, and your rights. It is prepared in line with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and general data protection principles (GDPR).
1. Data We Collect
Account information: Your email address, full name, phone number and password (passwords are stored only as irreversible hashes; never in plain text).
Farm business records: The data you enter into the app, such as animal records (ear tag, birth, breeding, health, weighing), milk production, feed/ration, income-expense records and farm settings. This data belongs to your business; only users authorized for your farm can access it.
Location (optional, approximate): For the weather feature, you select your farm's province/district. We never access your device's GPS; only the coordinates of the district center you selected are sent to the weather provider.
Community (optional): If you use the Community section, your profile (display name, profile photo, short bio, farm name and province), the posts, comments, likes and photos you share, and your Marketplace listings are stored. These are visible to other users; please keep this in mind before sharing. If you choose to show your phone number on a Marketplace listing, it is displayed to users viewing that listing (never to users you have blocked).
Messages: Messages you exchange with other users are stored on our servers so they can be delivered and your conversation history shown. We do not routinely read your messages; if a message is reported, only that content is reviewed for moderation.
Reports, blocking and moderation: Reports you submit, users you block, and moderation decisions taken for rule violations are recorded to keep the Community safe.
Ask a Veterinarian: Questions you write in the "Ask a Veterinarian" section and the photos, videos, audio files or documents you attach are stored. This content is not public; only you and our expert team answering your question can see it.
Photos and camera: We access an image only when you pick or take one; the rest of your photo library is never accessed. Photos you share in the Community are re-processed before upload, removing embedded information such as location (EXIF). Files you attach to a veterinarian question are uploaded as they are.
Notification address: To deliver reminders, your device's anonymous push notification token is stored.
Purchase information: Subscriptions are processed by the Apple App Store / Google Play. Your card details never reach us; we only store the subscription state (active/expired) and the store's transaction identifier.
Usage information: To improve the service and provide support, we record which days you use the app, how often you open it, the approximate time spent, which sections you open (e.g. Milk, Health), your device type (iOS/Android/web) and app version, linked to your account. What you type or the content of the records you view is not part of this. These records are kept for at most 400 days.
Face ID / biometrics: Used for quick sign-in only. Biometric data never leaves your device, is never transmitted to us and is never stored by us; verification is performed entirely by your operating system.
2. What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not track you for advertising; we use no advertising identifiers (IDFA/AAID) and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. The Community section may show content labelled "Sponsored"; it is selected only by general information such as your farm's province, and your personal data is never shared with advertisers. Advertisers only receive aggregate impression/click counts.
- Your data is never sold or rented to any third party.
- We do not access your contacts or GPS location, and we never record audio with your microphone.
3. Why We Process Data
- Providing the service: storing your farm records, syncing them across your devices, and enforcing role-based access for your team members.
- Reminders: sending vaccination, calving, treatment and stock alert notifications (you can turn these off in app settings at any time).
- Subscription management: verifying the plan you purchased and tracking renewals.
- Community: delivering your posts, listings and messages to other users, and notifying you of new comments, messages and listing interactions.
- Safety and moderation: reviewing reports, removing content that violates the rules, and preventing abuse.
- Sponsored content: measuring how many times sponsored content is shown and clicked (these records are deleted after 90 days).
- Support: responding to your requests when you contact us.
4. Storage and Security
Your data is stored in a database hosted on our service provider Supabase and is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Each farm's data is isolated with row-level access rules (Row Level Security): users of one farm can never see another farm's data.
Your data is retained while your account is active. When an account/farm is deleted, business data is permanently erased; records subject to legal obligations (e.g. invoice/subscription records) may be kept for the period required by applicable law.
When you delete your account, your Community profile is anonymized ("Deleted User"), your posts, comments and listings are removed, and the images you uploaded are deleted. Messages you previously sent may remain in the other person's conversation history under the name "Deleted User".
To delete your account: in the app, More (Daha) → My Account (Hesabım) → Delete my account (Hesabımı sil), or visit farmos.pozitrone.cloud/hesap-sil.
5. Third-Party Service Providers
We share limited data with the providers below solely to operate the service; none of them may use your data for their own purposes:
| Provider | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, file storage and authentication | Account, business and Community data, uploaded files |
| Expo (push service) | Notification delivery | Anonymous device push token |
| Apple / Google | Subscription processing | Store transaction identifier |
| Open-Meteo | Weather | Coordinates of your selected district (no identity) |
The in-app "Support" button opens WhatsApp; anything you write there is subject to WhatsApp's own privacy terms.
Beyond lawful requests from competent public authorities, your data is not shared with anyone else.
6. Your Rights
By contacting us you may: learn whether your data is processed, request information, request correction or deletion, object to processing, and claim compensation for damages. You can also export all of your business data from within the app as an Excel file at any time (data portability).
Requests: pozitrone@icloud.com. Requests are answered within 30 days at the latest.
7. Children's Privacy
The app is not directed at users under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
8. Changes
This policy may be updated. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email; the current version is always published on this page.
