Last Updated: March 28, 2026

This Data Deletion Policy explains how users may delete data stored within the FarmPath application ("App").

FarmPath is designed to give users control over their farm data.


1. User Data Ownership

Users retain ownership of all data entered into FarmPath.

This includes:

  • Farm records
  • Financial records
  • Animal records

Cloud data removal may take time depending on Apple systems.
