What personal data we process, for what purpose, who may consult it, how long we keep it, and how to exercise your rights under Law 8968.

1. Prior information required by law

Article 5.1 of Law 8968 requires us to inform you, expressly, precisely and unambiguously, of eight specific points before requesting personal data. We gather them here so you do not have to hunt through the document.

a) Existence of a database
Yes. Agripino maintains a personal database containing information about users and about the people they record.
b) Purpose of collection
To deliver the contracted farm management service: authenticate your access, store your production and financial records, calculate payroll and generate reports.
c) Recipients of the information
Users within your own organisation, according to the role you assign them, and the subprocessors listed in Annex A. Nobody else.
d) Mandatory or optional nature
Name, email address and password are mandatory: without them we cannot create the account. Everything else is optional.
e) Processing to be applied
Storage in an encrypted database, consultation by authorised people in your organisation, and automated processing to generate the platform's calculations and reports.
f) Consequences of refusal
If you do not provide the mandatory data, the account cannot be created and the service cannot be delivered. Refusing optional data only limits the features that depend on it.
g) Rights available to you
Access, rectification, suppression and withdrawal of consent, as set out in section 7.
h) Identity and address of the controller
PENDIENTE DE COMPLETAR (razón social registrada), Cédula jurídica PENDIENTE DE COMPLETAR (3-101-XXXXXX), with offices at PENDIENTE DE COMPLETAR (dirección exacta), PENDIENTE DE COMPLETAR, PENDIENTE DE COMPLETAR, PENDIENTE DE COMPLETAR, Costa Rica.

2. Two distinct relationships

Worth distinguishing from the outset, because the obligations differ.
  • Your own data. As regards the name, email and account details of the person registering, Agripino is the data controller. This policy covers those in full.
  • Data you record about third parties. As regards your staff, suppliers and clients, you are the controller and Agripino is the processor. That relationship is governed by the Data Processing Agreement, and it falls to you to inform those people and obtain their consent.

3. What data we process

CategoryDataSource
AccountFull name, email address, encrypted password, preferred language, role.Provided by you at registration.
OrganisationFarm name, province and canton, telephone, corporate ID, type of activity.Provided by you.
Operational dataAnimals, lots, crops, production, inventory, health events, financial transactions.Recorded by you during use.
Third-party dataStaff, suppliers and clients, under the Data Processing Agreement.Recorded by you. You are the controller.
FilesPhotographs and documents you upload.Uploaded by you.
Technical dataIP address, browser type, date and time of access.Generated automatically on connection.
We neither request nor want sensitive data within the meaning of article 9 of Law 8968. Please do not record information about anyone's health, union membership, religion or orientation in free-text fields.

4. On what basis we process your data

This distinction matters because it determines what you can withdraw and what you cannot.

  • Performance of the contract. Processing your name, email, organisation details and farm records is indispensable to delivering the service you contracted. It is not based on your consent and therefore cannot be withdrawn in isolation: ceasing to process it is equivalent to terminating the contract and closing the account.
  • Express consent. Processing for non-essential purposes — commercial communications, invitations to try new features, use of your testimonial — is based on your consent and you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the service.
  • Legal compliance. Retaining proof of acceptance of the contractual documents responds to a legal obligation and to the defence of our rights.
At registration we ask for two separate authorisations: one to accept the Terms of Service and another, independent one, for the processing of your personal data. They are distinct checkboxes because article 5 of the Regulation to Law 8968 requires consent to be given independently of any other document. Neither comes pre-ticked.

5. What we use the data for

  • Authenticate your access and keep your session open.
  • Store, display and calculate the production and financial information you record.
  • Send you email essential to the operation of the account: verification, password reset, invitations and service notices.
  • Handle your support enquiries and complaints.
  • Detect and prevent misuse, fraud and attacks on the infrastructure.
  • Comply with legal and tax obligations.

What we do not do, and undertake not to do without telling you first:

  • Sell, rent or assign your data to third parties.
  • Build advertising profiles or commercial segments.
  • Use your farm data to train artificial intelligence models.
  • Publish or commercialise aggregated data that could identify your operation.

6. Cookies

Agripino uses strictly necessary cookies only. Two, specifically:

CookieFunctionDuration
Authentication sessionKeeps you signed in. Without it you would have to authenticate on every page.Until sign-out or expiry.
agripino_farmRemembers which farm you selected, so we do not have to ask again.Persistent preference.
We use no analytics, tracking or advertising cookies, and embed no third-party pixels or tags. That is why you will not see a cookie banner: there is nothing to consent to beyond what is indispensable for the service to work. Were this to change, we would ask you expressly before installing any non-essential cookie.

7. Your rights and how to exercise them

Under articles 7 and following of Law 8968, you may:

  • Access the personal data we process about you and learn its origin and purpose.
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Delete your data when it is no longer necessary or when you withdraw consent where applicable.
  • Withdraw consent through the same medium in which you gave it, without retroactive effect.
  • Export your information in structured format from the platform.
Deadlines that bind us: we resolve your access, rectification or suppression request within a maximum of 5 business days, and confirm withdrawal of your consent within a maximum of 3 business days. In both cases free of charge.

To exercise any of these rights write to [email protected]. We may ask for additional documentation to verify your identity, in which case the period runs from when we receive it.

If you believe we did not handle your request properly, you may turn to Agencia de Protección de Datos de los Habitantes (PRODHAB) (https://www.prodhab.go.cr).

8. How long we keep the data

DataRetention period
Account and farm dataWhile the account is active, plus 30 calendar days after cancellation to allow export.
Encrypted backupsUp to 90 further calendar days while they rotate.
Record of acceptance of legal documentsTerm of the contract plus 4 years, to evidence consent and defend our rights.
Technical access logs12 months, for security purposes.
Even if you delete your account, we retain the record that you accepted the Terms and authorised the processing, together with your email address, for the period indicated. Law 8968 places on us the burden of proving that consent existed, and without that record we could not do so. That record contains no farm or staff data.

9. Security

The database is hosted on our own infrastructure located in Costa Rica. We apply encryption in transit and at rest, and strict separation between organisations through row-level security in the database itself.

The full detail, including measures we have not yet implemented, is in the Security Overview.

10. Who we share with

Only the subprocessors we need in order to operate, listed in Annex A to this policy. None is authorised to use the data for its own purposes.

We may be compelled to hand over information in compliance with a court order or a competent authority. In that case, and unless the order itself forbids it, we will tell you.

11. Minors

Agripino is aimed at adults managing an agricultural operation. We do not knowingly collect data from people under 18. If we detect that an account has been created by a minor without authorisation, we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will publish the new version with its number and effective date. Where the change materially affects the processing of your data, we will notify you by email and ask for a fresh express authorisation before applying it.

Earlier versions are retained and may be requested at any time.

Annexes

Annex ASubprocessor List

Version 1.0 · Effective from 17 August 2026

1. Purpose of this list

When a customer uses Agripino, we process personal data on their behalf: that of their staff, their suppliers and their clients. In that relationship the customer is the data controller and Agripino is the processor. To deliver the service we rely on a small number of third parties, which act as subprocessors.

This list forms part of the Data Processing Agreement and is kept current. Any change is communicated at least 10 business days in advance, as described in section 5.

2. Our own infrastructure

Agripino does not use a third-party managed database. The database server, the authentication service and the application run on our own hardware located in Costa Rica, under our exclusive control.

This means your farm data, staff records and financial movements are stored in Costa Rica, on equipment we administer directly. There is no external cloud provider with access to that database.

We use PostgreSQL with Supabase in self-hosted mode. Supabase is open-source software that we run ourselves; Supabase Inc. plays no part in the processing and has no access to the data.

3. Current subprocessors

The following third parties take part in the processing. None is authorised to use the data for its own purposes.

SubprocessorRoleData reachedProcessing location
Cloudflare, Inc. — R2Storage of files and documents uploaded by the user (photographs, receipts, farm documents).File contents and their metadata.United States and Cloudflare global network.
Cloudflare, Inc. — Tunnel and networkRouting of all inbound traffic to the application, attack protection and TLS termination.IP addresses, request metadata and HTTP headers. No database content is stored.Cloudflare global network.
Cloudflare, Inc. — Email SendingDelivery of transactional email: account verification, password reset and invitations.Email address and name of the recipient.Cloudflare global network.
Cloudflare, Inc. is the only third-party company with access to personal data processed on behalf of our customers.
Cloudflare Email Sending is in the process of being enabled. Until it is operational the platform sends no email and accounts are confirmed automatically. This list will be updated when the service goes live.

4. International transfers

File storage and network transit involve transferring data outside Costa Rica. Pursuant to Chapter III of Law 8968, those transfers rest on the informed consent of the data subject and on contractual confidentiality and security commitments with the subprocessor.

The main database, which holds most of the farm, staff and financial information, remains in Costa Rica and is not transferred.

5. Changes to this list

Before adding a new subprocessor:

  • We publish the change on this page and notify the customer by email at least 10 business days in advance.
  • The customer has 30 calendar days to object in writing.
  • If the objection is reasonable and we cannot offer an alternative, the customer may terminate the contract without penalty and with a pro-rata refund of the unused portion of the current cycle.

To receive these notifications or to consult the change history, write to [email protected].

6. What we do not use

For the avoidance of doubt, and because their absence matters as much as their presence, we record that Agripino does not use:

  • Web analytics or behavioural tracking tools.
  • Advertising networks or third-party pixels.
  • Payment processors with access to platform data.
  • Third-party SMS or mapping services.
  • Third-party artificial intelligence services that receive user data.

If any of these are introduced in future, this list will be updated under the procedure in section 5 before they go into operation.
