Privacy Policy – Pakistan Agriculture Research (Kissan Dost App)

Pakistan Agriculture Research we developed this application to support farmers with agricultural insights, crop monitoring, market pricing, and feedback services. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies.

1. Information We Collect

a) Audio Data (RECORD_AUDIO)

We request permission to record audio only when the user chooses to send voice messages. This helps farmers share crop issues, feedback, and queries. Audio is recorded only when initiated by the user.

b) Device & Phone State (READ_PHONE_STATE)

This permission allows us to verify device compatibility and network status when users upload crop photos/videos. We do not access call logs, phone numbers, or contacts.

c) Account Information (GET_ACCOUNTS)

We use this to create and manage farmer profiles. This allows us to maintain a verified database and support communication. We do not sell or share account information.

d) Location Data (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

Precise location helps us provide localized crop pricing, weather information, and agricultural guidance. Location is used only during the session unless needed for ongoing service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We do not share your information with third parties without consent unless required by law.

3. Data Security

We use industry-standard protections to keep your information secure. Only authorized personnel can access user data.
