Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 29, 2026

This policy explains how FarmSide collects, uses, shares, and keeps information when you use the FarmSide app, website, public stand pages, owner tools, and support services.

Information we collect

If you sign in, we may collect your account identifier, email address, full name, display name, avatar, and account visibility choice. Your email address and full name are private account fields. Your display name and avatar can appear with public contributions when you choose a public profile.

We collect activity that is needed to provide FarmSide. This can include saved stands, follows, notification and discovery preferences, stand visits you choose to record, submissions, owner claims, fresh updates, reports, blocks, support messages, and account requests. Recent searches stay on your device. A search term is sent only to answer the current request, and FarmSide does not keep readable server-side search history. A stand submission can include physical-goods payment information such as accepted payment methods, payment notes, or an owner-provided Cash App handle. FarmSide does not collect a buyer's card or bank account information and does not process stand purchases.

We may collect device identifiers used for notifications, product interaction data, and diagnostic data. Diagnostic data can include crash counts, app hang counts, CPU and disk-write exception counts, and performance-metric receipt counts. We use this information to operate, secure, improve, and support FarmSide.

Location and stand addresses

FarmSide uses location to show nearby stands, center the map, support directions, place a stand that you submit, and verify a visit when you start that action. We do not keep a continuous location history for normal browsing. A user-started contribution can include a precise location. Visit evidence stores a rounded distance from the stand and rounded location accuracy, not the visitor's raw coordinate.

Stand addresses and map coordinates are physical locations. Approved stand locations are public because they are needed for discovery and directions. Do not submit a private home unless there is a clear public stand at that location.

Content you provide

You can provide stand details, photos, display names, avatars, owner updates, corrections, reports, notes, and support messages. Approved stand information and public contributions can be visible to other users and on public stand pages. Private notes, private account fields, saved items, and support messages are not intended for public display.

Photo and content safety

The iOS app prepares submitted images before upload and removes embedded image metadata from the stored image bytes. FarmSide uses automated and human review to detect unsafe, explicit, private, or abusive content. Cloudflare Workers AI can process submitted public images for this purpose. Content that fails or cannot complete a required safety check is not published automatically.

We keep reports, blocks, moderation decisions, and limited safety records when needed to review content, prevent abuse, resolve appeals, or protect users. A report does not tell the reported contributor who sent it.

How we use information

We use information to provide discovery, maps, directions, stand pages, owner tools, notifications, saved items, support, content review, fraud prevention, security, diagnostics, and service improvement. We can use saved preferences and interaction data to personalize nearby results and make the service more useful.

How we share information

We share information with service providers only as needed to operate FarmSide. Supabase provides authentication, database, and file storage services. Cloudflare provides website delivery, server functions, security, and image-safety processing. Apple provides Sign in with Apple and app distribution services.

We can disclose information when required by law or when reasonably needed to protect FarmSide, our users, or the public. We do not sell personal information. We do not use FarmSide data for third-party advertising tracking.

Retention and deletion

We keep information while your account is active and for as long as needed to provide the service. We can keep limited records after deletion when required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute, or moderation purposes. Public stand facts that do not identify you can remain in the directory after your account is deleted.

You can start account deletion in the app settings. You can also email farmside@ethosagency.co from the address linked to your account. FarmSide removes or anonymizes account data that we do not need to keep.

Your choices

You can set your profile to public or private, change notification choices, remove saved items, report content, block a contributor, and request account deletion. You can control location and photo access in iOS Settings. Some features do not work without the related permission.

Children and sensitive information

FarmSide is not directed to children under 13. Do not submit images of children, private documents, payment credentials, health information, or other sensitive personal information.

Policy changes

We can update this policy when the service or legal requirements change. We will change the date at the top of this page. We will provide an additional notice when a material change requires it.
