1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Nesteye, Inc. ("nesteye," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit nesteye.ai, contact us, participate in a pilot program, or use our Edge AI monitoring system and related software (collectively, the "Services").
We are a Delaware corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas. By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide may include contact information such as your name, email address, farm or company name, and the contents of messages you send us; account information such as your name, email, phone number for alerts, and barn or farm identifiers; and signed agreements, billing details, and correspondence related to a pilot or deployment.
Information collected automatically may include browser and device information, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, deployed-system health information, software version, connectivity state, alert timestamps, and activity counts.
We may also receive information from integrator partners, business contact databases, and service providers such as email and analytics platforms.
3. How We Use Information
- Respond to inquiries and provide the Services.
- Deliver real-time alerts, dashboards, and reports to authorized farm users.
- Improve our machine-learning models, hardware design, and Service reliability in accordance with the Farm and Product Data section below.
- Send transactional communications about accounts, billing, security, and product updates.
- Comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, and protect rights, safety, and property.
- Send marketing communications with your consent; you may unsubscribe at any time.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Contact inquiries may be retained for up to twenty-four months unless you request earlier deletion. Operational telemetry and aggregated model data may be retained longer in a form that does not identify individual people.
6. Security
We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including encryption in transit, access controls, an edge-first architecture that keeps real-time video on the device, and least-privilege cloud permissions. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a portable copy of personal information; opt out of marketing; or appeal the denial of a privacy request. Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by the CCPA.
- To exercise a privacy right, submit a request through our Contact page. We will verify your identity before acting on your request.
- We do not discriminate against anyone for exercising privacy rights.
8. Farm and Product Data
When the Services are deployed on a farm, the Edge AI device captures video, environmental readings, and behavioral inferences within the barn. The specific terms in a pilot agreement or master services agreement prevail if they conflict with this policy.
- The farmer owns the underlying barn imagery and sensor readings ("Farm Data").
- nesteye owns its software, models, derived metadata and metrics, hardware, and firmware.
- nesteye holds a license to use Farm Data to operate the Services, improve models, and develop features, using de-identified or aggregated forms where feasible.
10. Children’s Privacy
The Services are intended for adult agricultural professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, submit a request through our Contact page and we will delete it.
11. International Users
nesteye is based in the United States and processes information there. If you access the Services from another country, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the last-updated date and communicate material changes by email or through a notice on the Services.
