Privacy Policy & Data Protection Charter

1. Scope & Legal Framework

Berryboyzz Agro-Ventures LLP ("Berryboyzz", "we", "us", or "our") operates the web platform https://berryboyzz.in, certified tissue-culture mother nurseries, and controlled-environment agricultural facilities across Satara and Pune, Maharashtra, India.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, process, safeguard, and retain personal data and agricultural telemetry in strict compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and where applicable, global data governance standards (GDPR).

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum necessary information required to deliver agronomic consultations, tissue-culture orders, and farm tour experiences:

• Contact Information: Name, phone number, WhatsApp contact identifier, email address, and farm parcel geographic location when you submit inquiries or request capex models.
• Horticultural & Farm Parameters: Acreage, existing soil type, water source analysis (EC and pH), polyhouse structure dimensions, and crop history voluntarily provided during feasibility assessments.
• Reservation Details: Guest counts, vehicle details, dietary preferences, and dates selected for farm study tours and agronomy workshops.
• Technical Telemetry: Anonymized server logs, browser type, device information, and country-level location data captured automatically to optimize website latency and ensure cybersecurity.

3. Purpose & Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal information strictly based on legitimate interest, contractual necessity, and explicit consent:

4. Grower Agronomic Data Protection & Confidentiality

We treat all grower-specific financial data, water testing lab results, and yield metrics with strict commercial non-disclosure. We never sell, lease, or monetize grower data to third-party chemical vendors, fertilizer distributors, or marketing networks. Aggregated telemetry utilized in our Biological OS research is fully anonymized and stripped of individual grower or parcel identifiers.

5. Cookies & Local Storage Policy

Berryboyzz utilizes privacy-first technical storage mechanisms:

• Zero Third-Party Advertising Trackers: We do not deploy third-party advertising pixels, tracking beacons, or cross-site behavioral cookies.
• Functional Local Storage: We store your visual preference (e.g., berryboyzz-theme: "dark" | "light") directly within your browser's local storage to prevent screen flash on page navigation.
• Privacy-Preserving Analytics: We utilize Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, which do not track individual user identities or place persistent tracking cookies.

6. Data Subject Rights & Retention

Under the DPDP Act 2023, you hold the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: Request a comprehensive summary of your personal data processed by us.
• Right to Correction: Request prompt rectification of incomplete or inaccurate information.
• Right to Erasure: Request the deletion of your contact details and inquiry records from our active databases.
• Right to Grievance Redressal: Direct any privacy concerns to our dedicated Grievance Officer.

We retain customer inquiry records for a maximum period of 24 months from the last active interaction, unless a longer retention period is mandated by Indian tax and agricultural compliance laws.
