Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
Fasly is built specifically for Indian farmers. We treat your farm records, crop disease photos, and location details with the highest privacy standards under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). We never sell farmer personal data to third-party advertisers.
1. Introduction & Overview
Welcome to Fasly (hereinafter referred to as "Fasly", "KisanOS", "we", "our", or "us"). Fasly is a next-generation agricultural mobile and web ecosystem providing Indian farmers with instant AI crop disease diagnosis, daily APMC live mandi prices, localized micro-weather advisories, crop lifecycle guides, and government subsidy access.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, process, transfer, and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website at https://www.fasly.in or use the Fasly mobile application.
We comply strictly with the applicable data protection laws of the Republic of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 (SPDI Rules), and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).
2. Information We Collect
To provide accurate farming advisories, mandi rate alerts, and disease diagnosis, we collect the following categories of data:
- Account & Profile Details: Your mobile phone number (used for secure OTP verification), name, preferred language (Hindi, English, Marathi, Telugu, etc.), state, district, and village/tehsil.
- Farm Configuration Details: Total land acreage, soil type (black soil, alluvial, sandy loam), irrigation source (canal, borewell, drip, rainfed), and active crops currently under cultivation.
- Diagnostic & Multimedia Uploads: Photos or short video clips of crop leaves, roots, or soil you capture using the AI Leaf Doctor camera tool for disease detection.
- Technical Telemetry: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifier (UUID/FCM token for push notifications), network carrier, and crash reports.
3. Farm & Geo-Location Data
Fasly requests access to your approximate or precise device location (GPS / Network Location) exclusively to deliver localized agricultural services:
- Nearest APMC Mandis: Automatically sorting daily mandi commodity prices by distance so you find the most profitable local market.
- Hyper-Local Weather Forecasts: Providing 7-day rainfall, humidity, and wind speed advisories to plan safe pesticide spraying cycles.
- Regional Pest Warnings: Alerting you if nearby farms in your district report severe pest attacks.
You can toggle location permissions in your mobile OS settings at any time and manually select your preferred mandi/district instead.
4. Camera, Photos & AI Leaf Diagnosis
When you use the AI Leaf Doctor feature, Fasly requests camera and gallery access to capture images of infected plant foliage:
- Instant Diagnostic Inference: The uploaded image is analyzed by our computer vision model to identify plant diseases, nutrient deficiencies, or insect damage.
- Diagnostic History: Scans are stored in your personal digital farm journal so you can track treatment progress.
- Model Enhancement: Anonymized crop photos may be used to train agricultural vision models. No personal or facial data is ever captured.
5. How We Use Your Data
We use your data solely to deliver, enhance, and secure agricultural services:
- Providing personalized stage-by-stage crop timelines, fertilizer NPK dosage calculations, and irrigation reminders.
- Sending critical SMS / push notifications regarding sudden price spikes, rain alerts, or severe frost forecasts.
- Verifying eligibility for central and state government farmer welfare schemes.
- Maintaining platform security, preventing spam or counterfeit chemical marketing on discussion boards.
7. User Accounts & Security
Authentication on Fasly is performed using secure One-Time Passwords (OTP) sent to your registered mobile phone number. You are responsible for safeguarding your device and SIM card. If you detect unauthorized use, contact support@fasly.app.
8. Community Posts & Farmer Discussions
When you post questions, crop advice, or harvesting photos in the Fasly Farmer Community discussion forum, your display name and district tag will be visible, but private contact numbers and GPS coordinates are never displayed publicly.
9. AI & Machine Learning Processing
Our AI models process crop images and farming questions securely through isolated cloud inference endpoints. Diagnostic results are assistive recommendations; final decision-making on chemical dosage remains with the farmer and local agricultural extension officers.
10. Data Protection & Security
We employ robust technical safeguards including TLS/SSL encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, strict internal access controls, and data storage on certified cloud infrastructure in India.
11. Third-Party Integrations & APMC Feeds
Fasly integrates with trusted public data sources such as APMC Agmarknet feeds, India Meteorological Department (IMD) weather forecasts, and Google FCM for notifications.
12. Children's Privacy
Fasly is designed for adult farm owners and agricultural students. For full details on our zero-tolerance CSAM policy, review our Child Safety Standards Policy.
