Ag Data Use Policy
August 27, 2025
In case of conflict between the text provided on this page and in the downloadable version, the downloadable version shall prevail.
This Ag Data Use Policy (“Data Policy”) establishes the terms by which your Ag Data is stored, used, and shared with Sentinel Ag, Inc. (“Sentinel”) and others when using the Sentinel app and associated website, products, and services (collectively “Services”). “You” means the Authorized User (as defined in Sentinel’s Terms of Service) that creates a user account for use of the Services.
1. The Information Sentinel Collects. When using the Services, you have the ability to upload or import the following types of data to Sentinel:
Agronomic Data. This includes crop and field information, such as planting data, seed type, yield, disease and pest management application, fertilization, and prescriptions.
Land Data. This includes soil and fertility data, topographical, elevation, watershed, and drainage data, geospatial information, and tillage and conservation data.
Farm Management Data. This includes information related to financial, tax, employment, commodity price, regulatory compliance, supply chain, and other management data.
Machine Data. This includes telematics information, machine health, fuel consumption, load, use, and other machine performance data.
Climate and Weather Data. This includes precipitation, wind speed and direction, temperature, and other weather information.
These categories are illustrative but not exhaustive of the types of information Sentinel’s Services may collect from you. Collectively, this information is referred to as your “Ag Data” in this Policy.
Some types of Ag Data may link to personal information, such as your name, address, or email address. Protection of personal information is addressed in Sentinel’s Privacy Policy and subject to applicable privacy laws and regulations.
2. Your Ownership of Ag Data. Sentinel believes that farmers and agronomists are owners of Ag Data that originates from their farm, organization, device, or equipment. Sentinel believes that ownership should give you the right to share, download, and delete your Ag Data. You shall not upload data to Sentinel’s servers unless you are the owner or authorized to do so. You shall indemnify Sentinel from any claims that someone else owns the Ag Data uploaded to your account.
3. Your Ownership of Recommendations. As explained in Sentinel’s Terms of Service, the Services provide recommendations for the timing and quantity of fertilizer applications (“Recommendations”). Sentinel considers those Recommendations for your fields to be owned by you, subject to any restrictions in Sentinel’s Terms of Service.
4. Your Responsibilities. You shall not allow any unauthorized person to access your login information, password, account or Ag Data. You are responsible for any loss of data or other damage that occurs to Sentinel and other users of the Services as a result of any unauthorized access to your account.If your account with Sentinel terminates and you would like your Ag Data deleted, you have the responsibility to delete your Ag Data or request that Sentinel delete your Ag Data. Sentinel will assume that you have abandoned all ownership claims in Ag Data not deleted or requested to be deleted. Once abandoned, Sentinel may delete or retain your Ag Data according to this Policy.
5. Data Sharing with Sentinel.
5.1. License Granted for Internal Use. To perform the Services, you grant Sentinel a limited license to use your Ag Data as provided in this paragraph. You grant your consent to Sentinel to: (1) clean your Ag Data by removing perceived errors and omissions; (2) store your Ag Data on servers owned or leased by Sentinel; (3) share your Ag Data with others as authorized by you; (4) use your Ag Data to provide the Services to you; and (5) use your Ag Data for research and development purposes to enhance the Services.
5.2. Aggregated Data. Sentinel may anonymize and aggregate your Ag Data with data from other users to create aggregated datasets (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data does not contain your personal information (as defined in Sentinel’s Privacy Policy). Aggregated Data that is made accessible to other users of the Services is provided in datasets that are large enough to prevent identification of you. Aggregated Data sharing is the default setting for Sentinel’s Services, however, you have the option to “opt out” of Aggregated Data sharing at any time. Aggregated Data sets created prior to your opting out cannot be deleted. If you opt out, you may lose some functions of the Services. Aggregated Data can be used by Sentinel for any lawful purpose. Sentinel does not intend to sell Aggregated Data to third parties.
5.3. Use of Third Parties to Process Data. To the extent Sentinel engages third parties to perform data processing on your Ag Data, these companies must abide by this Data Policy at all times.
6. Data Sharing with Third Parties. Sentinel’s Services may provide you with the opportunity to share your Ag Data with third parties outside the company. Sentinel will obtain your consent prior to sharing your Ag Data with any of the following types of third parties. Once Ag Data has been shared outside of Sentinel’s Services, Sentinel no longer has any control over how a third party may use your Ag Data. Sentinel is not responsible to you for what a third party does with your Ag Data after you provide your consent to share with that third party.
6.1. Certified Service Providers. Sentinel works with Certified Service Providers (“CSP” or “CSPs”) to provide local support for its products and services. You may be a CSP or serviced by a CSP. If you are serviced by a CSP, that CSP may view, access, edit, upload, and download the data that you upload or import to Sentinel’s Services. Additionally, that CSP may view, access, edit, upload, and download data that is acquired by Sentinel to provide the Services but is not directly provided by you. You may only stop sharing this information with a CSP by contacting Sentinel directly and requesting a change in your CSP. Changing CSPs may not cause Ag Data previously shared to be deleted from other user’s accounts and will not result in shared data being deleted that has already been extracted from Sentinel.
6.2. Trusted Advisors. You have the option of granting “Trusted Advisors” access to view, edit, delete, upload and download your Ag Data. Trusted Advisors are individuals or companies that you want to access your Ag Data. Examples of Trusted Advisors include agronomists, crop consultants, crop protection representatives, lenders, insurers, your employees, family members, landowners, and others designated by you. Trusted Advisors must obtain a Sentinel account, user ID, login, and agree to Sentinel’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Data Policy before they are granted access to your Ag Data. You may stop sharing your Ag Data with Trusted Advisors by revoking their permission through the Sentinel website. Revoking permissions may not cause Ag Data previously shared to be deleted from other user’s accounts.
6.3. Integrations. With your consent and direction, Sentinel may also provide you with the ability to share your Data with other technology providers through links established through Sentinel and such third parties (“Integrations”). Sentinel is continually working to provide users with options to transfer and share data among different companies and data platforms. When your Ag Data is transferred or shared with a third party, your use is subject to that third party’s policies and contract terms. Likewise, Sentinel may allow you to upload Ag Data directly from outside Integrations. Any uploads from third parties are subject to Sentinel’s policies and contract terms.
6.4. Government. Sentinel will not share your Ag Data with government agencies unless you provide your consent and direction. This promise will not prevent Sentinel from complying with a court order or other valid government request that requires Sentinel to legally disclose information to the government. Sentinel shall notify you of any government request to obtain your Ag Data. Sentinel shall have no liability to you for disclosure of Ag Data in response to a subpoena, court order, or other government demand that legally requires Sentinel to respond.
7. Portability. You can download your Ag Data at any time if you maintain an active account with Sentinel. In some circumstances, your Ag Data may not be retrievable in its original format. Certain information provided by Third-Party Providers (as defined in Sentinel’s Terms of Service) may not be retrievable or transferrable to another platform, depending on restrictions placed on such information by the Third-Party Provider.
8. Modifications. Sentinel may revise this Data Policy from time to time. Sentinel will notify you by email or when you log into your account of any revisions. The notice will be accompanied by a summary of the changes to this Data Policy. By continuing to use the Services after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by any updated version of this Data Policy.
9. Security/Notice. Sentinel takes reasonable and customary security measures to protect the privacy and security of your Ag Data. In the event of a data breach, natural disaster, or other unforeseen event that causes your Ag Data to be deleted or compromised, Sentinel will notify you when you log in, by email, or other method required by law.
10. Deletion. You may delete your Ag Data at any time you have an active account and for thirty (30) days after termination of your account. Requests to delete your Ag Data after your account terminates may be made by email request to support@sentinelag.tech. Deletion of Ag Data will not cause any Aggregated Data to be deleted.
11. Storage and Retention. Sentinel shall store your Ag Data as long as you have an active account with Sentinel, and for a period of thirty (30) days after termination. Thirty (30) days after termination of your account, Sentinel will no longer have any obligation to retain your Ag Data.
12. Sale of Sentinel. In the event Sentinel is sold or acquired by another company, resulting in substantially all of Sentinel’s assets being acquired by a third-party, you will be notified and have the option of deleting your Ag Data for at least thirty (30) days after the transfer. This Data Policy will continue to apply to your Ag Data until the new owner provides you notice of a new ag data use policy.
13. Limits on Sentinel’s Liability. Sentinel is not liable for any damages that result from the disclosure of your Ag Data to any person or company provided such disclosures are made according to this Data Policy. Sentinel is not responsible for a loss or unauthorized disclosure of your Ag Data due to (i) an Act of God, (ii) other catastrophic event, (iii) a data breach, unless caused by Sentinel’s gross negligence, or (iv) someone other than you using your account.
