Privacy policy
Working summary · last updated August 2026. The full legal text is being finalised for the end of the open beta; this page states the commitments we already operate under.
The short version: farmers own their data. A plot record belongs to the person who mapped it, sharing always happens through an explicit grant, and any grant can be revoked. We do not sell data, to anyone.
What we collect
Account details (name, phone or email, organisation), the records you create (plots, deliveries, receipts, photos, documents), and basic usage data that keeps the service working, such as sync timestamps and device type.
Who owns what
A producer's plots, documents and evidence belong to that producer. An organisation's network, campaigns and filings belong to that organisation. Tracebud stores and processes records on your behalf; it does not acquire rights over them.
Sharing and consent
Nothing is shared across the network by default. A buyer sees a producer's record only after the producer grants access, the grant names what is shared, and it can be withdrawn at any time. Revoking a grant stops future access; evidence already sealed into a filed statement stays part of that statement, as regulators require.
Where data lives
Encrypted in transit and at rest on our cloud providers. Country programmes can arrange dedicated residency options on Enterprise terms after legal review.
Your rights
Export your records, correct them, or delete your account and the data that is yours. Where GDPR applies you have the rights it grants; where it does not, we hold ourselves to the same standard.
Website analytics and cookies
On this website, analytics cookies and similar storage load only if you accept our cookie banner. Rejecting cookies keeps Google Analytics 4 and PostHog turned off.
When you accept, we use Google Analytics 4 (Google; Consent Mode; this website only) and PostHog (hosted in the EU; product and website analytics, same PostHog project as the Tracebud dashboard). We use them to see how the site and product surfaces are used—not for advertising.
We describe our approach as GDPR-aligned where EU data protection law applies. We do not claim GDPR certification or blanket legal compliance.
If you accept cookies, we also save the landing page, the referrer and any UTM tags in your browser's session storage for that visit. We send this only when you submit a demo or contact form, so we can handle your request. If you do not accept, we only receive the page you submit the form from and the site you came from.
