BinYard is a record-keeping app for grain farms, made in Manitoba, Canada. This page explains what information we collect, why, and what we do with it.
When you sign up on this website
The sign-up form creates your BinYard account. It asks for your farm name, your name, your email, a password, and optionally your province or state, acres farmed, how you track bins now, and anything you choose to tell us. Your account and those details are stored with Google Firebase. Your password is handled by Firebase sign-in and is never sent to us or stored where we can read it. A copy of your other details is sent to us by email through Netlify, the company that hosts this website, so we know you've joined. We use them to run your account and to contact you about BinYard.
Payments
When you pay for BinYard, the payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Stripe tells us the payment came through so we can keep your farm's account active.
When you use the app
BinYard stores your sign-in email and your farm's records: bins, loads, contracts, fertilizer, tank cleaning dates, notes and ticket photos. These are stored with Google Firebase (Google Cloud). Security rules lock each farm's records to that farm's sign-in, so other farms cannot see them.
When you scan a ticket, the photo may be sent to Google's AI service through Firebase to read the numbers off it. The photo is saved with the load in your farm's records.
BinYard also saves some settings on your phone or computer, such as your last-used bin and units, so forms are quicker to fill in.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your information or your farm's records.
- We don't share them with grain buyers, input suppliers or advertisers.
- This website and the app don't use advertising cookies.
Your choices
- Download your loads and contracts as spreadsheets, or a full backup, from Settings in the app at any time.
- Ask us to delete your farm's account and records by emailing help@binyard.farm from the address you sign in with, and we'll do it.
Contact
For any privacy question or request, email help@binyard.farm. We'll reply by email.
