This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use Personal Information we receive from our customers and other users (referred to as "you") by using our app (referred to as "App") or web site both of which are part of the services we provide (“FLOW-X Service”) and what Personal Information we transfer to what third parties. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, process and use and why we do that.

This Privacy Policy specifically applies to:

  • Customers: users such as farmers or landowners which request or receive tile planning services.
  • Tile Planners: users such as individuals who have submitted applications to SOIL-MAX to provide tile planning services and/or who provide tile planning services through the app or FLOW-X web site to Customers.

This Privacy Policy also governs SOIL-MAX’s other collection of other data in connection with the FLOW-X Service.

  • Information We Collect
  • When you register to use the FLOW-X Service, we ask you to provide certain information including personal information. Personal information is information about you that can be used by itself, or combined with other information, to personally identify you (referred to as "Personal Information"). We collect this Personal Information directly from you when you provide it to us.

    Information we collect includes:

    • User profile: We collect data when users create or update their FLOW-X accounts. This includes Personal Information such as name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, profile picture, and user settings.
    • Field and operation information: We collect data submitted by a user such as field location, field boundaries, field size, outlets, field name, equipment information, elevation data, drain coefficient, desired tile spacing, tile specifications, field notes, other field and operation information, and tile plans.

In some cases, we collect this data through cookies, pixels, tags, and similar tracking technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers. We use that information to enhance user experience, personalize your experience as well as monitor the FLOW-X Service for preventing fraud and inappropriate content or behavior.
    • Transaction Information: We collect transaction information related to payments made or received through the FLOW-X Service.
  • Who are we?
  • The App is a product of SOIL-MAX, Inc., 1201 S. 1st St., Terre Haute, IN 47802 (referred to as "SOIL-MAX“, "we", "our", or "us").

  • How we use your Information
  • Where relevant under applicable laws, all processing of your personal information will be justified by a "condition" for processing. In the majority of cases, processing will be justified on the basis that:

    • you have provided your consent for us to use your personal information for a specific purpose;
    • our use of your personal information is necessary to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you (e.g. to provide you with services which you have purchased);
    • the processing is necessary to comply with a relevant legal obligation or regulatory obligation that we have (e.g. fraud prevention); or
    • the processing is necessary to support our legitimate interests as a business (e.g. to improve our services to you), subject to your interests and fundamental rights and provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate.

    We will use your personal information for the following purposes:

    • to provide you with quality service and security, to operate the Site and to perform our obligations to you. For example, we use the information collected from you to verify your identity. We also use this information to establish and set up your account, verify or re-issue a password, log your activity, enable your communications with users, provide customer support and contact you from time to time. The information helps us develop and improve our services to you and customize and personalize your experience.
    • to ensure FLOW-X Service integrity, prevent fraud and maintain a safe and secure environment. For example, we use your information to track and prevent fraudulent activities and other inappropriate activities and, monitor content integrity, conduct security investigations and risk assessments, verify or authenticate information provided by you, enforce our Terms of Service and comply with applicable laws.
    • to promote and advertise the FLOW-X Service. For example, we use the information collected from you for the purpose of sending direct marketing messages, to show you information that may be of interest to you, to organize and facilitate referral programs, contests or other promotional activities or events. This may be via email, post, SMS, telephone, or targeted online advertisements.
    • to maintain appropriate business records, to comply with lawful requests by public authorities and to comply with applicable laws and regulations or as otherwise required by law.
  • How we store and secure your Personal Information

All Personal Information you provide to us is secured using industry standard procedures. Any payment transactions will be encrypted in transit using SSL. We strive to update our security measures on a regular basis to keep track of new industry standards.

    We apply a general rule of keeping personal information only for as long as is required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. However, in some circumstances we may retain your personal information for longer periods of time. We may retain your information for the following purposes:

    • as long as it is necessary and relevant for our operations, e.g. so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenge; and

      Were we employ third party companies or individuals to process Personal Information, they only process Personal Information on our behalf, based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
