  • Role and organisation
  • Supervisor contact details
  • Emergency contact details

Location data

  • GPS coordinates are recorded at the time of daily vehicle inspections and fault reports

Device and technical data

  • Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token — used to send push notifications including peer safety alerts
  • Accelerometer data — used locally on your device only for crash detection; raw sensor data is never transmitted

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and operate the AgriWare Operations App
  • Record and store daily vehicle inspections and fault reports on behalf of your organisation
  • Forward inspection and fault data to your organisation’s AgriWare SaaS account
  • Send peer safety alerts to colleagues within your organisation in emergency situations
  • Display your profile information within the App
  • Authenticate your identity and maintain your session
  • Improve the App and fix technical issues

4. How we store your information

Your data is stored using Google Firebase, with servers located in the European Union (europe-west2, London region). We use Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Firebase Storage.

All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS and at rest using Google’s standard encryption.

Access to your data is restricted to authenticated users within your organisation only. Users from one organisation cannot access data belonging to another organisation.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

We share data in the following circumstances:

  • Within your organisation — inspection results, fault reports and machine data are visible to supervisors and administrators within your organisation
  • AgriWare SaaS platform — inspection and fault data is forwarded to your organisation’s AgriWare account for record keeping and compliance
  • Google Firebase — we use Firebase as our backend infrastructure provider. Google’s privacy policy applies to data processed through Firebase
  • Legal requirements — we may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities

6. Push notifications

The App uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to send push notifications. These include peer safety alerts sent by colleagues within your organisation in emergency situations. You can manage notification permissions through your device settings.

7. Crash detection

The App includes an optional crash detection feature that uses your device’s accelerometer sensor to detect potential vehicle incidents. If a potential crash is detected, the App may alert your colleagues within your organisation. Raw accelerometer data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can disable crash detection at any time in the App’s profile settings.

8. Data retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as required by your organisation’s compliance obligations. Inspection and fault records may be retained for up to 7 years in line with health and safety record-keeping requirements.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting privacy@agriware.uk.

  • Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification — you can request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure — you can request deletion of your data in certain circumstances
  • Right to restrict processing — you can request that we limit how we use your data
