Your Trust

Our Commitment to Customer Business Data

GVE believes that insights from data will be a key part of meeting the agricultural industry's collective goal to produce enough food to sustain a growing world population. We also believe that companies providing data services should have effective processes that ensure privacy, security and control for their customers.

Keeping your trust is important to us, thus we want to ensure transparency of our data policy. We want you to understand what we do, why we do it and what it means to you. You are in control of the data that's collected and with whom it is shared. This emphasizes our commitment to being your trusted partner in the field, year after year.

Customer Data Policy

Overview

This policy outlines how we treat and handle the customer data to which we have access. This will govern circumstances where we incidentally garner customer data, such as when connecting to a piece of equipment in order to repair it, to the intentional collection of specific data, like crop yields. When you choose to have us serve you, you are granting us a right to handle your data in a reasonable manner in order to serve you better, and with the assurance that you remain in control of your data and that we will never sell your data.

Summary

Greenvalley Equipment may provide certain services which require that we access, collect, store, analyze, and report data respecting: the functioning of the customer's agricultural equipment, the customer's crop production, and the customer's general agricultural production operations.
