Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Bizon, LLC ("Bizon," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Bizon Ag Tools website and tools (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Account information: your email address and password (passwords are handled by our authentication provider; we never see or store them in readable form).
• Profile details: optional nickname, organization, units, timezone, and ZIP code. Your ZIP powers location-aware tools (for example, climate zone and frost dates).
• Tool data you create: the inputs, settings, saved reports, systems/sites, and journal/log entries you enter into the tools.
• Payment information: if you subscribe, payments are processed by Stripe. We receive limited billing details (such as plan, status, and the last four digits of a card) but never your full card number.
• Communications: messages you send through our contact form.
• Technical data: basic device/browser information and locally stored preferences (see "Cookies and local storage").

How we use information

• To provide, operate, and improve the Service and its tools.
• To create and secure your account and sync your saved work across devices.
• To process subscriptions and manage billing.
• To respond to your messages and send important account notices.
• To generate location-based recommendations (for example, frost dates from your ZIP).

Service providers we share with

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with vendors that help us run the Service, under their own terms and privacy policies:

• Google Firebase (authentication, database, and hosting) stores your account and tool data.
• Stripe processes subscription payments.
• Web3Forms delivers contact-form messages and new-account notifications to our inbox.
• Zippopotam.us and Open-Meteo receive a ZIP code and/or approximate coordinates to look up location and climate history for frost-date features.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Cookies and local storage

We use only strictly necessary storage: an authentication session to keep you signed in, and browser local storage for preferences and caches (theme, hidden tools, a welcome notice, and cached climate lookups). We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from your Profile, which removes your saved tool data and profile. Some records (for example, billing records held by Stripe) may be retained as required by law.

Security

We rely on reputable providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Your rights

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

EU/UK residents (GDPR/UK GDPR): our lawful bases are performance of our contract with you (providing the Service), your consent (where applicable), and our legitimate interests (operating and securing the Service). You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, use account deletion in your Profile or reach us through the contact form.

International users

We operate in the United States, and our providers may process data in the U.S. and elsewhere. By using the Service you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above, and continued use of the Service means you accept the updated policy.
