+
+#### Informed Consent Form and Privacy Policy (Farm Workers)
+
+Welcome to LiteFarm!
+
+We understand that your privacy and the protection of your data are important to you. We created this Informed Consent Form and Privacy Policy to help you understand how and when we collect, use and share your information, and to ensure we have your consent for doing so. Please keep in mind that you will need to consent separately to our collection and use of your data as described in this Informed Consent Form and Privacy Policy **for every farm that you are associated with via your account on the LiteFarm platform**. If you do not agree with our practices as outlined in this Informed Consent Form and Privacy Policy, you will not be able to use the LiteFarm platform.
+
+#### What is LiteFarm?
+
+LiteFarm is a participatory science research project hosted at the University of British Columbia to help improve access to digital agricultural technology for farming communities and develop better understanding of pathways towards sustainable agriculture. UBC works with farmer organizations to pilot and evaluate tool and knowledge aims to help farmers manage their farms in more profitable and environmentally and socially sustainable ways. The code underlying LiteFarm is free and open source (GPLv3) so that researchers, experts, and developers across the world can help to improve the services offered to the farming community. LiteFarm is a non-commercial entity.
+
+#### Who is the LiteFarm team?
+
+The LiteFarm team is a cross-disciplinary group of scientists, researchers, farmers, designers and software professionals. The team was initially formed at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and has grown to include a participatory global network of individuals and organizations. The Principal Investigators are Dr. Zia Mehrabi (University of Colorado) and Dr. Hannah Wittman (hannah.wittman@ubc.ca), as well as Dr. Sean Smukler, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at UBC Farm.
+
+#### Who funds LiteFarm?
+
+LiteFarm is funded by the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at UBC and other grants. For a complete list, please visit: https://ubcfarm.ubc.ca/csfs-research/litefarm/. Our external funders have no say in the operation and management of LiteFarm, and are unable to access any of the personal information housed on the platform. Our funding model is currently donor and grant-driven.
+
+#### Why are we conducting this project?
+
+We recognize gaps in farmer access to digital technology services, low adoption rates, and a need expressed by farmers to combine a range of agricultural data management services in a single, non-commercially driven platform. We want to develop a solution that both helps farmers operate their business in a more financially and ecologically sustainable way, and also helps advance the science of sustainability.
+
+#### What data do we collect?
+
+Depending on which parts of the LiteFarm platform you use, we may collect different kinds of information:
+
+**Personal Information**
+
+"Personal Information" describes any information that can be used to identify you. LiteFarm will never disclose personal information to third parties without your express consent. This includes:

+- Demographic information (gender, year of birth, language preference, country, currency)
+
+- Photos
+
+- Internet Protocol (IP) address
+
+- Geolocation (e.g., GPS coordinates of farm locations, location boundaries, etc.)
+
+**Farm Management Information:**
+
+LiteFarm uses the management information that you enter into the app to generate insights about the financial, environmental, and social benefits or impacts of your management decisions. We anonymize this data to conduct non-commercial academic research on sustainable food systems. Because this data is anonymized when used in our research, it cannot be traced to you or your farm. This data includes:
+
+- Information about tasks you performed on the farm: duration, location(s), crop(s) impacted, inputs, notes, dates, completion status, etc.
+
+- Pest control information: product name; amount of product applied; application target (i.e., pest or disease name), common name, scientific name, group; active ingredient name; active ingredient concentration; harvest interval; entry interval; type of control; location(s) and crop(s) targeted.
+
+- Harvest information: field harvested; crop harvested; quantity harvested, uses of harvests.
+
+- Seeding information: location(s) seeded; crop(s) seeded; spacing depth, length, width, and rate.
+
+- Field work information: location(s), crops(s); type of work, notes.
+
+- Soil information: location; depth; texture; percentage potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, organic matter, organic carbon, inorganic carbon, total carbon, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc, manganese, iron, copper, boron; cation exchange capacity (CEC); pH; bulk density.
+
+- Irrigation information: location(s), crop(s); irrigation type, flow rate; total time flowing.
+
+- Scouting information: location(s); crop(s); type; action needed (yes/no).
+
+- Other information: location(s); crop(s); notes.
+
+- Information relating to the completion of tasks including: date; duration of work; mood (happy, very happy, sad, very sad, neutral); notes on work.
+
+**Usage Data**
+
+We collect usage data (i.e., general statistics about users, traffic patterns, and how users respond to various site features) to improve the quality of services we provide to you. This type of data includes: when you log in to LiteFarm, pages you request, how long you visit the site for, how you interact with the app, and technical details about your device (e.g., browser, screen type, and processor). This data will either be associated with your LiteFarm username (if you are logged into the app) or your IP address (if you are not logged in). We may use software such as Google Analytics to collect and analyze _usage data_, but in these cases, all personal information will be _anonymized_.
+
+**How do we use data?**
+
+As described above, we use your usage data (i.e., general information about how you interact with the LiteFarm platform) to improve the LiteFarm platform and the services it provides.
+
+Information you provide about task completion is displayed in aggregate (without any personally identifiable information) to farm managers and for research purposes.
+
+**What do we share?**
+
+We will only share your data with third parties if it is both anonymized (i.e., contains no personal information) and necessary to accomplish our research goals or validate scientific findings. Specifically, we may share anonymized data at some point in the future with other researchers for non-commercial academic research purposes. Any third-party academic researchers who request use of LiteFarm data will undergo internal review and will be assessed under our existing ethics and security standards. Due to publishing standards for scientific reproducibility, anonymized data that is used for academic research may be served on public repositories. Copies of non-public releases of anonymized data can be shared with academic researchers for non-commercial research purposes, under time-limited and confidential single-use licenses. If an academic research use includes the use of photos uploaded to LiteFarm, any identifiable features that disclose personal information (e.g., faces of people) will be blurred out of the photos before they are shared.
+
+We do not share any _personal information_ to third party analytics services, such as Google Analytics. Through our security protocols, we safeguard the vulnerability of personal information within the LiteFarm website, and we use IP anonymization protocols to prevent identification and geolocation by third parties.
