Privacy

Plainly, and in the order that matters: what we hold, who else sees it, and how to get it back or have it deleted. Last updated 27 August 2026.

What we hold

Your account. Your name, email, and a scrambled version of your password. A phone number only if you add one.

Your place. The address or postcode you give us, the coordinates it resolves to, its size, and your boundary and paddocks if you look them up or draw them. Your weather, fire danger and most of your jobs are worked out from this, which is the only reason we ask.

Your animals. Names, species, ages, photographs, and the health history you record — treatments, weights, vet visits, notes.

What you tell us. Jobs, spray and application records, photographs, and voice recordings. Recordings are turned into text and the text is what we keep.

Who else sees it

We do not sell your information and we do not share it for anyone else’s advertising. These are the services the app uses to work, and exactly what reaches each one:

ServiceWhat forWhat goes
StripeTaking paymentYour email and card details. Cards go straight to Stripe — we never see or store a card number.
OpenAI and Google (Gemini)The advisor, photo identification, and turning your voice into textThe question you asked, the photo you took, or the recording you made. Not your name or email.
Open-MeteoYour forecastCoordinates only.
Google Maps and PlacesAddress search, satellite imagery, finding nearby vets and produce storesThe address you typed, or your coordinates.
OpenStreetMap (Nominatim)Turning an address into coordinatesThe address you typed.
State and national agenciesProperty boundaries and fire danger — QLD and NSW land registries, the US National Weather Service, Natural Resources CanadaCoordinates only. No account details.
ResendSending email — password resets, and records you send to your vetYour email address, and whatever you chose to send.
MetaMeasuring which advertisement brought someone to usYour email address, hashed — scrambled one way so it cannot be read back. Only when you start a paid trial.
VercelRunning the siteThe usual server logs any website keeps.

About the Meta one. When you start a paid trial we tell Meta that a trial started, so we can tell which advertisement worked. Your email is hashed first — turned into a string of characters that cannot be turned back into your address. We send it only at that one moment, never your animals, your property, or anything you have written.

When you send something to your vet

Nothing goes to a vet unless you send it. Each time, you choose what goes and whether to include your name and phone number — and you can send it without them, in which case replying to the email reaches you instead.

The link we email creates a page your vet can open without an account. It is unguessable rather than secret: treat it like a document you emailed to someone.

Getting it back, or deleted

Everything you have put in is yours. Ask us and we will send you a copy, or delete your account and everything in it. Some records have to be kept for a period for tax and payment reasons — Stripe keeps its own transaction records regardless of what we do.

Deleting your account removes your property, animals, records and photographs. It cannot un-send an email you have already sent to a vet.

Where it lives

The app and its database run on servers in Australia and the United States. If you are in Europe or the United Kingdom, that means your information is transferred out of your region to be stored and processed, and you have the rights your local law gives you over it — access, correction, deletion, and objection.

Children

This is not built for anyone under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their details.
