Privacy Policy – Goat Farm

The short version

You need an account. We keep your name and email address so your partners know who wrote each entry.
Your farm's records are stored online, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, so every member of the farm sees the same numbers on their own phone.
Only the members of your farm can see its records, each according to the role the owner gave them.
No ads. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.
You can delete your account in the app at any time: More, then Delete account.

1. Who we are

Goat Farm (the “App”) is developed and published by GamifyApps (“we”, “us”). GamifyApps is the data controller for the personal information described here. You can reach us at support@gamifyapps.com.

2. What we collect

Kind	What it is	Where it comes from
Account	Your name, email address, how you sign in (Google, Apple, or email and password), an optional profile photo, and the date you accepted the terms. Passwords are handled by Supabase Auth and stored only in scrambled (hashed) form; we never see them.	You, or Google or Apple when you sign in with them
Phone number	Only if you choose to add one to your profile.	You
Farm records	The farm's name and settings; its members, their roles and profit shares; goats (number, breed, dates, family, weight, health, breeding and milk records); feed and stock; and contacts you type in, such as suppliers, buyers and vets (names and phone numbers).	You and the other members of your farm
Money records	Expenses, income, investments, payouts, transfers, what the farm owes, balances of each money source, notes, and the balances and statements worked out from them. These are the farm's business records. We never ask for bank logins or card numbers.	You and the other members of your farm
Photos	Goat photos and receipt photos that you take or choose in the App.	You
History	Who created, changed, approved or sent back an entry, and when. This is what lets partners trust the numbers.	Made by the App
Device and notifications	A random ID for each phone you sign in on, whether it is Android or iOS, and a push token, so we can send you notifications such as approvals and reminders.	Your phone
Crashes and usage	Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) with the app version and phone model. These do not contain your farm's records. The App has no advertising or analytics tracking.	Your phone
Help requests	A problem you report from Help in the App (your message, a screenshot if you attach one, the app version and your phone model), and any email you send us.	You

The App also keeps a copy of your farm's records on your phone, so it works without internet.

3. Permissions the App asks for

The App asks for a permission only when you use the feature that needs it. You can refuse, or change your mind later in your phone's settings; the rest of the App keeps working.

Permission	Why
Camera	To photograph receipts and goats, and to scan a farm's invite QR code.
Photos	To attach a receipt or goat photo you already have. You choose the photo.
Notifications	To tell you about approvals, join requests and health reminders. Optional.
Fingerprint or face unlock	Only if you turn on App lock. Your phone does the check; we never receive your fingerprint or face data. Your PIN is kept only on your phone.

The App does not use your microphone, your location or your phone's contact list. The Listen button uses your phone's own text-to-speech voice; no audio is sent to us.

4. How we use it

To run the service: store and sync your farm's records, work out balances and profit shares, make reports and exports, and keep the App working offline.
To let the members of a farm work together, within the roles the owner sets.
To send the notifications you have allowed.
To keep the service secure, stop abuse, fix crashes and improve the App.
To answer you when you ask for help, and to meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your data. The App shows no ads, and we do not use your farm's records to build advertising profiles.

Where the GDPR or a similar law applies, our legal bases are: performing our contract with you (providing the App), our legitimate interests (security, crash reports and understanding how the App is used), and your consent where the law requires it.

5. Who can see your data

The members of your farm. A farm's records are shared with its members according to their role: owner, partner, manager, worker or viewer. Workers do not see the farm's money. Your name, email address, photo and phone number (if you added one) are visible to the members of the farms you belong to.
People you send things to. When you share a report, a statement, an export or an invite, for example on WhatsApp or by email, it goes where you send it.
The companies that help us run the App, listed in the next section.
Authorities, where the law requires it, or where it is needed to protect the rights and safety of people.

6. Companies that help us

We use these services to run the App. They process data for us, under their own terms and security measures:

Supabase (Supabase, Inc.): sign-in and the database that holds your account and your farms' records, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany. See the Supabase Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.): storage for goat, receipt and profile photos (Cloudflare R2), and hosting of this website. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Google Firebase (Google LLC): Cloud Messaging (notifications), Crashlytics (crash reports) and Remote Config (app settings). See Privacy and Security in Firebase and the Google Privacy Policy.
Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France): sends the sign-up and password-reset emails with your 6-digit code. See the Brevo Privacy Policy.
Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple, if you choose to sign in with them. They tell us your name and email address.
Google Play and the Apple App Store, which deliver the App to your phone.

7. Where it is stored

Your account and your farms' records are stored by Supabase on servers in Frankfurt, Germany (European Union). Photos are stored with Cloudflare R2. Push tokens and crash reports are processed by Google, which may handle them in the United States and other countries. Where data leaves the country you live in, it is protected by the safeguards these companies provide for such transfers, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. How long we keep it

Your account: until you delete it.
A farm's records: for as long as the farm exists. They are the shared business records of all its partners, so they stay when one member leaves or deletes their account, with that member shown as “Former member”.
Backup copies, where we keep them: no longer than 30 days.
Crash reports: 90 days, the period Google sets for Crashlytics.
Emails to support: for as long as needed to help you, and then for our records where the law requires it.

9. Deleting your account and data

You can delete your account at any time in the App: More → Delete account. This removes your sign-in, your name, email address, phone number and photo, and signs you out on every phone. Your past entries stay in each farm's records so the accounts still add up, with your name replaced by “Former member”.

If you cannot use the App, email support@gamifyapps.com from the address on your account and we will delete it within 30 days. A farm's owner can also ask us to delete a whole farm and all its records. The steps, and exactly what is removed and kept, are on the delete account page.

10. Your choices and rights

See and export. Reports can be shared as PDF, and a farm's owner can export all of the farm's records as spreadsheets. You can also ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Correct. Change your name, photo and phone number in the App under More, or ask us.
Notifications. Turn them off in the App or in your phone's settings.
Delete. See the section above.

Depending on where you live (for example in the EEA, the UK, California or Pakistan), you may have further rights, such as to object to or restrict how we use your data, to move it elsewhere, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data-protection authority. To use any of these rights, email support@gamifyapps.com. We will answer within the time the law requires, and we will not treat you differently for asking.

11. Security

Data is encrypted on its way to and from the App (HTTPS) and while it is stored by our providers. Database rules limit each farm's records to its own members, by role. Changes to money entries are kept in a history. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password, and turn on App lock if other people use your phone.

12. Children

Goat Farm is a tool for running a business and is meant for adults. It is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will remove it.

13. This website

This website has no cookies, no analytics and no advertising, and its fonts are hosted with the site, not loaded from a third party. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) for a short time for security and reliability. Links to Google Play and the App Store take you to those services, which have their own policies.

14. Changes to this policy

If we change how the App handles data, we will update this page and its effective date, and update the privacy details shown on Google Play and the App Store to match. If a change is significant, we will also tell you in the App before it takes effect.
