Privacy

We hold nothing about you.

There's no account, so we don't know who you are. No sign in, no email address, no name, no advertising identifier. Nothing here tracks you and there's nothing to sell.

One thing does leave your phone: the coordinate of the field you tap. That's the only way to fetch satellite pictures and weather for a particular piece of ground. It isn't connected to you, because we've got nothing to connect it to.

It goes to one server, ours. The app makes no other call to anyone, with a single exception it can't avoid: Apple sends the map tiles, the same as in any app that shows a map.

These are Apple's fourteen data categories, in Apple's order, the same ones on every privacy label in the App Store.

None of fourteen

What our own server does see

Saying nothing is collected isn't the same as saying nothing happens, so here is the thing itself. You tap a field, and the coordinate and the outline come to us, because that's the only way to fetch pictures and weather for one particular piece of ground. Our server keeps what it fetches, so the next person looking at the same ground doesn't cost the public archives another download.

What it keeps is filed by place. Weather for a grid cell, imagery for an outline, road geometry for an area. There's no list of your fields anywhere, ours included, because there's no account for such a list to hang off.

Apple's fourteen categories are about the location of a user or a device. Your phone's location is exactly that, and it never leaves the phone. The coordinate of a paddock you point at is a different thing, which is why none of those rows is ticked.

Where that coordinate goes

  1. 1 · Your phone

    Works out the field's outline on the device. Your saved fields, their names, your crops and sowing dates never leave it.

  2. 2 · Our server

    Takes the coordinate and the outline. Fetches the pictures, the weather and the name of the road running past the field.

  3. 3 · Public archives

    Sentinel-2, gridMET, SILO and OpenStreetMap. Each one gets asked about a patch of ground by our server, not by your phone.

  4. The one exception

    Apple sends the map tiles you're looking at, the same as in any app with a map, and that's covered by Apple's own privacy policy. Nothing else on the phone calls out at all.

The longer version, for anyone who wants it

Your phone's location stays on your phone

If you allow location access, it does one thing: centres the map on where you are. It's never sent to us or to anyone else.

There's one place that distinction gets thin, and we'd rather say it than let the wording cover for it. If you're standing in a paddock and you tap it, the coordinate you send us is roughly where you're standing. We still don't know who you are, but the coordinate is accurate to a few metres.

Nothing else leaves

Weather, imagery and road names all come through our own server, so the archives behind them see us asking about a patch of ground rather than seeing you.

A report or a video only goes somewhere when you send it, through the normal iOS share sheet, and it goes wherever you choose. Saving a season video writes it to your photo library; the app never reads from your library. There's no iCloud sync, so there's no copy of your fields anywhere but the phone in your hand.

What we keep

Our server caches what it fetches, filed by location and never by person: weather for a grid cell, imagery for a field outline, road geometry for an area. It's kept so the next person looking at the same ground doesn't cost the public archives another download.

We keep ordinary web logs, including the IP address a request came from, for [N] days, for security and for working out why something was slow. Nothing in them is joined up with anything else.

The servers run in Microsoft Azure's West Europe region, which is where the Sentinel-2 archive lives. Wildeye is a New Zealand company.

What we don't do

No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, and no tracking prompt, because there's nothing to ask you about. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared for advertising. Nobody's data trains anything.

Children

Nothing here is aimed at children, and nothing is collected from anyone of any age.

Asking us what we hold

You can ask, and the honest answer is that we can't look it up. Nothing is filed under a person, so there's no record of yours to produce. There's no account to close either. Deleting the app takes your saved fields with it, because that's the only place they ever were.

Getting in touch

Changes

If this changes, it gets a new date at the top.

Disclaimer

Don't rely on it on its own

This is one input. Irrigation, and anything else you do on the strength of it, needs instruments on the ground and your own judgement as well.

The numbers can be wrong

They're worked out from public data we don't produce and can't verify: satellite imagery from Sentinel-2, weather from gridMET, SILO and Open-Meteo, road names from OpenStreetMap. Those archives can be late, incomplete or simply wrong, and we pass on whatever they give us. Our own arithmetic can be wrong too.

No warranty

Epic Fields is free and provided as it is, with no promise that it's accurate, available, or fit for any decision you make with it. To the extent the law allows, Wildeye isn't liable for any loss arising out of using it or relying on it. Farming decisions and their consequences are yours.

Apple's terms apply too

The app is licensed, not sold, under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which covers anything not said here.
