Privacy notice
In short: your farm's records belong to your farm. They are kept separate from every other farm, sent over encrypted connections, and only the people the farm owner adds can see them, each according to their role. If the farm allows it, its records are included in anonymised totals that never identify a farm or a person, and the farm can switch this off at any time.
Who we are
Anitracker is an animal management and traceability service provided by IntelliCash ("we", "us"). If you have any question about this notice or your data, email [email protected].
What we collect
- Account details: your name, email address and/or phone number, your role on the farm and your language choice. Your password is stored only as a one-way hash; we cannot read it.
- Farm records you enter: animals and batches of any species, tags, milk, eggs, feed, health, breeding, stock, equipment, sales, purchases, expenses and payments, plus any photos and voice notes you attach.
- Security settings: if you turn on two-step sign-in, the secret for your authenticator app and your recovery codes; and a list of your signed-in sessions (device and IP address) so you can sign them out.
- Sync information: a device identifier and the times recorded on the phone, so offline records can be synced in the right order and duplicates ignored.
- Technical logs: IP address, request times and error details, used to keep the service secure and to fix problems.
How we use it
We use this information to run Anitracker for you: to show and sync your farm's records, work out colour statuses and reports, keep the audit log, secure accounts and provide support. We do not use farm records for advertising.
Your farm's data stays with your farm
- Records are stored per farm. Every request is checked on our server against the farm you belong to and the permissions of your role.
- The farm owner decides who joins the farm and what each person can see or do, and can remove access at any time.
- Farm events are append-only: corrections are added as new records, and an audit log records who changed what and when.
- The owner (and anyone the owner allows) can export reports as CSV and the full traceability history as CSV or JSON.
Sharing
We share a farm's records only with people the farm owner has added, or when the law requires it. We use hosting and infrastructure providers to run the service; they process data on our behalf only to provide it.
Our platform team can see basic information about each farm (name, county, plan, counts and last activity) so they can run the service and support you. They do not see animal records or finances through the platform tools.
Anonymised data sharing
To understand the livestock ecosystem better (disease patterns, productivity and prices) we combine records from many farms into anonymised totals. Research institutions, NGOs, government bodies and co-operatives can apply for paid access to these totals.
- Only totals: data is grouped by county, species and month. Any group with fewer than 5 farms is suppressed.
- Nothing identifiable: no farm name, person, phone number, tag number or GPS location is ever included.
- Your choice: sharing is explained with a checkbox when you create your farm, and the farm owner can switch it off in Settings at any time. Farms with sharing off, and demo farms, are never included.
- Controlled access: research organisations are reviewed before they get access, use their own keys, and every request they make is logged.
Security
Connections between the app, the dashboard and our server are encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords are hashed, access is checked on the server for each request, optional two-step sign-in is available, and the audit log is hash-chained so changes to it can be detected. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us at once if you think your account has been misused.
Cookies and local storage
- When you sign in to the web dashboard we set one secure, httpOnly cookie that keeps you signed in. It is not used for tracking.
- This website remembers your language choice (English or Kiswahili) in your browser.
- This website loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers when the page loads.
- We do not use advertising cookies.
- If you send a research access request from this website, we use the details you give only to review and answer it.
Demo accounts
The live demo uses shared sample farms that are reset every night. Please do not enter real personal or farm information into a demo account.
How long we keep data
We keep your farm's records for as long as the farm account is active, because traceability depends on a complete history. If you want to close a farm account or have data removed, email us and we will explain what can be deleted and anything we must keep by law.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal data, or object to how it is used. If you are in Kenya, the Data Protection Act, 2019 gives you these rights, and you may also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. To make a request, email [email protected].
Changes
If we change this notice we will update the date at the top. For significant changes we will tell farm owners in the app or by email.
