Your data and Kodinar

Kodinar is operated by RP Digital. This policy explains what Kodinar collects, why it is used, and how you can contact us about it.

1. Information you provide

You can use Kodinar without creating an account. We create an anonymous app profile so your assistant conversations, crop plans, to-dos and khata entries can sync with Kodinar's service. If you choose to back up your data across devices, sign in with Google; Kodinar associates your app profile with your verified Google account and email address. Kodinar does not receive your Google account password.

When you send a message to the AI Assistant, we process the message text, selected app language and any photo you attach. Kodinar does not request device location permission at first launch. If you choose device location or search for a place, the selected coordinates are used to request weather information and may be included with an Assistant request that contains a photo. The nearby APMC list is based on the selected market's coordinates.

2. Photos and assistant history

Photos attached to assistant messages are uploaded to Kodinar's cloud storage, sent for AI processing, and retained with the related conversation. Photos remain with the conversation until you request account deletion. Do not send a photo containing information you do not want processed or stored.

Assistant messages are processed by the AI provider configured for Kodinar to generate a response. Kodinar stores conversation history so it can appear on your devices and help you review previous advice.

3. Location and network information

At startup, Kodinar may use the network address of an API request to estimate a general area. This is approximate and is not the same as precise device location. You can change the weather location by choosing device location or searching for a place in India. Device location requires precise location permission; place search does not. Android's built-in geocoder resolves the selected location and may use a network service to turn coordinates or search text into place names. Kodinar uses IP2Location LITE to estimate a general area from the network address. The selected location is used to request weather data and may be included with an Assistant request that contains a photo. Nearby APMC markets are determined from the currently selected market, not from device location.

4. Service providers

Kodinar uses Google Cloud Platform to operate its infrastructure and the AI provider configured for Kodinar to process Assistant requests. The app uses Firebase Analytics, App Check, Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring and In-App Messaging to measure and support the service, and Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to serve ads. Rewarded ads are optional. Ad providers may receive device or ad interaction information under their own privacy terms. The app presents Google's consent choices where required.

APMC market price data is sourced from the Government of India's data.gov.in service. These requests retrieve shared public data; Kodinar does not send your account credentials to that service.

5. Notifications and diagnostics

If you allow notifications, Kodinar stores your Firebase Cloud Messaging token to deliver app updates and farming information. Crash and performance diagnostics help us find app failures and slow screens. You can manage Android notification access in your device settings.

6. Account deletion and retention

To request deletion of your registered account, email support@kodinar.in. Account deletion is not currently available from the app. Deletion removes the account, assistant messages, farm records, notification tokens and associated photos from active services. Deleted photos in Cloud Storage may remain recoverable for up to 7 days before permanent removal. Account deletion cannot be undone.

We use encrypted connections, API access tokens and server-side controls to protect app data. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

7. Children

Kodinar is designed for farmers and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the app changes. The latest version will be posted on this page. For questions or privacy requests, email privacy@kodinar.in.
