​

We at Farmer’s Business Network, Inc. and our Affiliates (collectively, the "FBN® Companies," "we," "us," or “our”) know you care about how Your Data is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. We believe helping you to power your prosperity includes keeping the data you share with us safe. We promise to never sell your personal information, and to give you transparency and control over how your data is used and shared. We understand  there is a significant responsibility that comes with you entrusting Your Data with us and protecting that information is an important part of how we conduct our business. 

​

Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy ("Policy").

​

Scope

​

This Policy explains our information practices, the kinds of information we may collect, how we protect that information, how we use and share that information, and how you can opt-out of a use or correct or change that information. This Policy does not apply to the information practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we do not manage. 

​

We update this Policy from time to time and we encourage you to periodically review this Policy. We will post any Policy changes on this page and if the changes are material, we will provide you with a more prominent notice by email, push notification, and/or by other means. This Policy is incorporated by reference into FBN’s Terms of Service (the “Terms”). All other terms not defined in this Policy will have the meanings set forth in the Terms.

​

This Policy is global in nature, meaning that it is applicable to all websites, mobile applications, services and offerings of the FBN Companies (collectively, the “FBN Companies”), and it describes our privacy practices as they relate to:

  1. “Ag Data” means any agricultural data, as broadly understood in the agricultural industry, including, but not limited to, your agronomic data, application data, climate data, harvest data, invoice data, planting data, land data, machine data, pricing data, grain sales data, weather data, and the type of agricultural products or services you use and purchase from us or other parties.

  2. “Financial Data” means any credit, financial, or payment information, including, but not limited to assets and liabilities, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, credit history, employment history, income sources, payment history, payment preferences, and social security/social insurance number. Note: Financial Data provided by you or gathered about you by us from third parties in connection with a credit application or for other purposes may be subject to and protected by additional terms and conditions listed therein.

  3. “Personal Data” means any information other than Ag Data, Financial Data or Member Content, including, but not limited to: (a) Company name, points of contact, account users, employees, agents, responsible parties, etc., (b) contact information including, but not limited to, email address, business phone numbers, address, etc., (c) your pictures and likeness, (d) communications, information or other materials that you provide us, and (e) business relationship information, including information relating to your agreements with us, preferences, etc.

You choose whether Member Content will be personally identified to you.

 

When we refer to “Data” we mean all four types of data defined above, and when we refer to “Your Data” we mean Data you own and have granted us a license to use.

​

By using or accessing the Services (as defined in the Terms of Service) and by interacting with us in any other manner, you acknowledge and accept the practices and policies outlined in this Policy. You hereby consent, to the fullest extent permitted in your jurisdiction, that we will collect, use, and share Your Data in the following ways, which are essential to providing you the Services. 

​

Disputes About This Policy Or Relating To The Services Generally Must Be Resolved By Binding Arbitration And On An Individual Basis Only As Specifically Set Forth In The Terms Of Service.

​

The FBN Network

​

When we say the “FBN Network” we mean our anonymized and aggregated data analytics platform that enables farmers to make better decisions on their farms. The FBN Network also provides business specific tools that allow farmers to put their own data to use in managing their business operations. Depending on the context of your interactions with the FBN Network, the Data you choose to share with us, or bring over from third parties (such as a loan provider), may be used together and not just within the individual Service(s) you are using. This means your Ag Data from FBN Direct, insurance information from FBN Insurance, and your recommendations from FBN Crop Marketing all live together in your FBN account.

​

Information We Collect

​

Information we receive from you

When you interact with the FBN Network via our websites and mobile application or use our Services, we may collect Data and other information from you.

  • Creating an FBN Account. We collect Your Data when you create or modify your FBN account, set preferences, use FBN services, or provide any other Data to access or utilize the FBN Network.  For example, through the account registration process and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Data.

Certain information may be required to register with us, to take advantage of some of our features, or to order products from us.

​

Information We Collect From Other Sources

We may also get information about you from others where permitted by applicable law.  In most circumstances, where the information we collect about you is held by a third party, we will obtain your permission before we seek out this information from such sources (such permission may be given directly by you or implied). From time to time, we may utilize the services of third parties and may also receive data collected by those third parties in the course of the performance of their services for us or otherwise. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable steps to ensure such third parties have represented to us that they have the right to disclose your information to us. When permitted by applicable law or regulatory requirements, we may collect information about you from other sources without your knowledge or consent.

​

We may also collect market-related information, which may include information concerning market trends and activities impacting our business or your business. This information may include contract terms, financial information and other information for the purpose of market analysis and strategic planning. In addition, we may also collect information related to our media, investor and public relations activities and information related to our interactions with financial and other advisors. We collect information from publicly available sources, such as open government databases.

​

We may use third-party service providers in connection with collecting Usage Data, including but not limited to Google Analytics.

​

We may also use a third-party marketing software from a company called Marketo to send promotional emails. As mentioned above, we use cookies as part of tracking so we have information on email open rates and click through rates, as well as to track activity on our website. For example, we use Marketo cookies to see if an individual who opens an email then visits other parts of our website. This helps us update, expand, and analyze our records, identify new customers, and create more tailored advertising to provide services that may be of interest to you. For more information on Marketo’s privacy and cookie policy, please see Marketo’s privacy policy and other disclosures: https://www.marketo.com/company/legal/
