CowPhIT Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2024

This privacy policy (the “Policy”) is intended to inform you of the types of information OsRostrum, Inc. (“we” or “us” or “Company”) collects, as well as our policies and practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of that information through our website, mobile application and associated software and services (“Services”).

Please read this Policy carefully, because by using the Services, you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to the terms of this Policy and consent to the types of information and the manner in which we may collect, use and disclose such information. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Services.

We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Policy at any time. We will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the Policy the date it was last updated and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of all material changes. We encourage you to review this Policy from time to time to make sure that you understand how any information you provide will be used. Each time you access the Services, the most recent version of the Policy will apply. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.

We will ensure that all Personal Information (as defined below) that we collect and maintain will be (i) processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner; (ii) collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; (iii) adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary; (iv) accurate and kept up to date; and (v) processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the Personal Information, including protection against unauthorized or lawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

I. Information we collect

Personal Information You Provide to Us

When you register for and access or use the Services, we may collect (i) personal information, including name, email address, phone number, username, password, and demographic information; (ii) information about your land and livestock; and (iii) any other information that you may provide while accessing or using the Services. All collectively referred to us “Personal Information”.

We only have access to and collect personal information that you voluntarily give us by filling out our online forms and surveys which are part of the Services or via email or other direct contact from you, such as: your name, date of birth, telephone number, email address, and email preferences. Information collected via the Services may include location data and the metadata of images uploaded to and through the Services.

If you do not want this information to be shared with our employees, service providers and subcontractors, upon your request, we will not share your information. However, your ability to access and use the Services may be limited or interrupted.

Information Collected by Automated Means

Whenever you use the Services, we and/or our service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically collect information about how the Services are accessed and used (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page viewed, the time, how many users accessed the Services, and the website you visited immediately before the Services, if applicable. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on Company’s website, how long they stay on that page, which websites they are coming from and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. Usage Information helps us to keep the Services user-friendly and to provide visitors with readily accessible and helpful information. We may also use your Usage Information to troubleshoot issues with access or use of the Services. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and identifiable person, we treat it as Personal Information.

We believe that such technology usage is fair, lawful, and proportional to the legitimate interest and needs of our business, and that our methodology fairly addresses each user’s legitimate rights and expectations in view of the context and purpose for the collection and use of the information collected.

II. How Do We Use Your Information?

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will also use your information as follows:

Registration – A user may need to complete a registration form and create an account with us in order to use certain aspects of our Services. During registration, a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services in which you have expressed interest or subscribed to and allow you to easily update your Personal Information.

Customer Service – Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about changes to the Services or this Policy.

III. Do We Share Your Information?

Except as provided herein, we will not trade, rent, share or sell your Personal Information to third parties. Please note that with the exception of certain limited information, certain third-party service providers necessary for Company to provide the Services will have access to the information that you input into the Services.

Except as provided herein, unless you ask or provide your consent to do so, we will not share your Personal Information with any third party outside of our organization, except as necessary with our service providers and subcontractors in order to troubleshoot issues you may have with the Services or your account. Only employees, service providers and subcontractors who need the Personal Information to perform a specific job are granted access to Personal Information. The computers/servers in which we store Personal Information are kept in a secure environment.

We will disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosures (a) are required by law, including, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena, or (b) will help to: enforce our policies; protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you; and/or protect the safety and security of the Services, our employees, our service providers, our subcontractors, other third parties, or equipment that belongs to us, our service providers, or our subcontractors. Disclosures in this limited scenario would be made to a court of law, law enforcement, or other public or government authority.

We may use non-identifiable anonymous data that is based on users’ access or use of the Services that may be used by us to improve the Services. We may also use anonymized data based on your use of the Services, including de-identified data, and combine such de-identified data with data or other anonymous data (“Aggregate Data”). Aggregate Data may include information that describes the habits, usage patterns, survey responses and/or demographic information of users as a group but does not identify any particular users. We may provide anonymized data and Aggregate Data to our third-party collaborators and partners.

Your Access to and Control Over Your Information

We offer you choices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your Personal Information. The Services do not currently respond to browser-based do-not-track signals. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being set, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the proper way to modify your browser’s cookies setting.

We take measures designed to protect your Personal Information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Personal Information we process and maintain. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other types of misuse. Please advise us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.

This Policy does not apply to such linked sites, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of these websites or any other sites that are linked to or from the Services. We encourage you to learn about their privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with Personal Information.

VI. Do We Collect Information from Children Under the Age of 13?

VIII. What if I am a resident of a country other than the United States?

Company makes no representation that this Policy or our practices comply with the laws of any other country or jurisdiction. Users of the Services who reside outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. If you reside outside of the United States, by using the Services, you consent to the transfer, processing, and use of your information outside of your country.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a resident of Canada, we may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your Personal Information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time. In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

Further, if you are a resident of Canada, you may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws.
