Privacy Policy
GBC apps
GBC is an artificial insemination (AI) service platform for cattle and goats. This policy explains what the GBC apps collect, why, who can see it, and how to have it removed.
Last updated: 20 August 2026
1. Who we are
The GBC apps are built and operated by iRad Solutions, Ambikapur, Surguja, Chhattisgarh 497001, India. In this policy “we” and “us” mean iRad Solutions, and “the service operator” means the AI service organisation whose staff use the Admin and Technician apps to deliver visits to farmers.
For any question about this policy or your data, write to iradwsas@gmail.com.
2. Which apps this covers
All three apps talk to the same backend. Farmers register themselves in the Farmer app; technician and administrator accounts are created by the service operator and are not open to public sign-up.
3. What we collect and why
We only collect what the service needs to work. There is no advertising, no analytics SDK, no tracking across other apps or websites, and nothing is sold.
| What | Where from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name and phone number | All three apps, at registration or when your account is created | Your phone number is your login. Your name identifies you to the technician who visits and to the operator. |
| Password | All three apps | Stored only as a one-way hash. We never see, log or transmit your password in readable form. |
| Address and district | Farmer app profile; the Admin app when staff record it for a farmer | So the assigned technician can reach the animal. You can also set a different location for a single visit. |
| Animal records — tag or name, species, breed, age, breeding status | Farmer and Admin apps | To book the right service and keep an accurate breeding history. |
| Booking details — preferred date, chosen sire, visit location, notes | Farmer, Technician and Admin apps | To schedule, assign and complete the visit. |
| Insemination records — straw used, service notes, timings, conception outcome | Technician and Admin apps | Traceability of which straw was used on which animal, and inventory accuracy. |
| Photographs | Admin app only, chosen from the device by operator staff | Sire images shown in the semen catalogue. The Farmer and Technician apps do not access your photos. |
| Notification token | All three apps, if you allow notifications | A device identifier issued by Google so we can send booking updates. Nothing else about your device is collected. |
4. What we do not collect
- Your device location. None of the apps request GPS or background location. A visit address is typed in by you or by operator staff.
- Contacts, messages, calendar, call logs, microphone, or files beyond a photo you deliberately pick in the Admin app.
- Advertising identifiers — there is no advertising in any of the apps.
- Analytics or behavioural profiles. We do not build a profile of you and do not use your data to train anything.
5. Who can see your information
- The service operator’s administrators see farmer and technician records, animals, bookings and service history — this is what running the service requires.
- The technician assigned to your booking sees your name, phone number, visit location and the animal being serviced. Technicians cannot see farmers they are not assigned to.
- Other farmers see nothing. There is no chat, no directory and no public profile in any of the apps.
Service providers we use
These providers process data on our instructions in order to run the service. They are not permitted to use it for their own purposes, and we do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
- Supabase — hosts the database.
- Vercel — hosts the backend API.
- Cloudinary — stores catalogue images uploaded by operator staff.
- Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) — delivers push notifications to your device.
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or where it is necessary to protect the rights and safety of users of the service.
6. How your data is protected
- All traffic between the apps and our servers is encrypted in transit over HTTPS.
- Passwords are stored only as one-way hashes and are never recoverable, by us or by anyone else.
- Access is role-based and enforced on the server: a farmer can only reach their own animals and bookings, and a technician only their own assignments.
- Sessions expire and can be revoked. Signing out or deleting your account ends every session on every device.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever become aware of a breach affecting your information, we will notify affected users and act to contain it.
7. How long we keep it, and deletion
Account information is kept for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account at any time.
In the GBC Farmer app: open Profile and tap Delete my account. Your name, phone number and address are erased immediately, any visit that has not yet happened is cancelled, and every session is ended.
Completed insemination records are retained as the service operator’s breeding and inventory history, with your identity removed from them — they record which straw was used on which animal, which the operator is required to be able to account for.
Full detail, and how to request deletion without the app, is on the account deletion page.
Deleting your account frees your phone number, so you can register again later — but the new account starts empty.
8. Your choices
- Notifications can be declined or turned off in your device settings at any time. The apps still work; booking updates appear in the in-app notification list instead.
- Your address is optional. Without it a technician has less to go on, so you may be asked for it when booking.
- Correcting your information — you can edit your address and district in the Farmer app profile, and your animals at any time. For anything else, ask the service operator or write to us.
9. Children
The GBC apps are business tools intended for adults. They are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change what the apps collect or how it is used, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will also be announced in the apps.
