Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
YOUR DATA OWNERSHIP
-------------------
Let's be clear: Your ranch data belongs to YOU. We are custodians, not owners.
• You own 100% of your data — animals, weights, health records, financials, everything.
• We never sell your personal information or ranch data. Not to advertisers, lenders, or anyone else.
• You can export ALL your data anytime at /your-data — no hoops, no fees, no waiting period.
• You can delete your account anytime, and we'll remove your data within 30 days.
• If OpenPasture ever shuts down, you'll get 90 days notice and full export access.
What We Collect
---------------
• Account info: name, email, password (hashed)
• Ranch data: animals, weights, health records, vaccinations, breeding records, financials — everything you enter
• Usage data: how you use the app (pages visited, features used) to improve the product
• Device info: browser type, device type, for debugging and support
How We Use Your Data
--------------------
• To provide the service — store your records, sync across devices, send notifications
• To improve the product — understand what features people use, fix bugs
• To communicate — account notices, support responses, optional product updates
• For your Ranch Score — calculate your score based on your record-keeping (only you see this)
What We DON'T Do
----------------
• We don't sell your data. Ever.
• We don't share your ranch data with lenders, insurance companies, or buyers unless YOU explicitly choose to (like when you list an animal for sale)
• We don't use your data for advertising
• We don't train AI models on your individual ranch data
Third-Party Services
--------------------
We use a few trusted services to run OpenPasture:
• Stripe for payments (they see your payment info, not your ranch data)
• Cloud hosting for data storage (encrypted at rest)
• Email service for notifications
All these providers are bound by contracts to protect your data.
Your Rights
-----------
• Access: See all data we have about you
• Export: Download everything in standard formats
• Delete: Remove your account and all data
• Correct: Fix any inaccurate information
• Object: Opt out of non-essential communications
To exercise any of these rights, visit /your-data or email privacy@openpasture.ai
Security
--------
• All data encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
• Data encrypted at rest
• Regular security audits
• Access controls and logging
• We don't store plain-text passwords
Children

OpenPasture is not intended for children under 13.
