Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: StrongFarm data (plots, yields, inputs) is commercially sensitive and partly falls under European rules on agricultural data (EU Data Act). Check whether cloud platforms use field data for model training and whether data is stored outside the EU. AI advice on crop protection is supportive only, the proof-of-use obligations and spraying licences remain with the farmer. Animal data in livestock farming may contain personal data of owners.
Data is stored in the US by default; EU data residency is possible via AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI (EU region). Business tiers and the API do not train on your input; consumer tiers do, unless you opt out.
