This Privacy Policy explains what information the SpectraCrop iOS app (the “App”) collects, how it is used and shared, and the choices you have. “SpectraCrop”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the provider of the App and of the SpectraCrop service.
Data controller: SPECTRACROP ApS, Hovedgaden 55, Hellevad, 6230 Rødekro, Denmark, info@spectracrop.com.
The App does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, does not show advertising, does not contain analytics or advertising software, and we do not sell your personal information.
To use the App you create an account with:
When you sign in, our server issues a session identifier, which the App stores securely in the iOS Keychain to keep you signed in.
Readings you transfer from your SpectraCrop meter are stored on your phone and on our server, linked to your account. The App sends them to our server when you sync, which also happens automatically after a transfer and when you sign in. Our server calculates results for each reading, such as P-predict and a result class, and the App downloads them. A reading contains:
Location is optional. The App only uses your location while the App is open on the screen. It never uses it in the background.
If you allow location, the Location option on the App’s New screen is on (it is on by default), and Automatic Transfer is on, the App follows your position while your meter is connected. It uses this to save, with each reading, the precise position where that reading was measured. You can switch the Location option off at any time, or refuse location access, and the App then saves readings without a position. When you download readings with Download Readings, you choose whether to add your current position.
Positions that are not saved with a reading are kept only in the phone’s memory, are never sent to our server, and are discarded when the App is closed.
The App generates an identifier for this installation (based on Apple’s identifier for vendor), stores it in the iOS Keychain, and sends it with requests to our server so the server can recognise the installation, for example for session management. It is not used for advertising or tracking.
The App uses Bluetooth to find and connect to your SpectraCrop meter and download the readings stored on it. While doing so it uses the meter’s name, its Bluetooth identifier and signal strength on your phone only. These are not sent to our server, except the meter’s name in a support email you choose to send (section 6).
The App keeps a short diagnostic log on your phone: the last 500 events, such as Bluetooth connection steps, commands sent to the meter, server status codes and error codes. It does not contain passwords, session identifiers, your location or the content of your readings.
The log stays on your phone. It is only sent to us if you choose Contact Support and send the resulting email. That email also includes the App version, iOS version, phone model, the name of your meter, your account email and any error code. You can review and edit the email before sending it, and it is sent with your own email app.

You can delete your account at any time in the App: User → Delete Account. You can also email us at info@spectracrop.com.
You are signed out straight away and can no longer sign in. Within 90 days we permanently delete your account, your email address, your password information, your session and device identifiers, and the position, description, dates and other details of your readings.
We keep only anonymised measurement values from your readings: the fluorescence curve and the results calculated from it. We keep them to test and improve our calculations. They have no link to you, your account, your device, your meter, a place or a time, so they are no longer personal information.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
Under data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
To exercise these rights, email info@spectracrop.com. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In Denmark this is Datatilsynet (www.datatilsynet.dk).
The App is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy. We will post the new version on our website and update the effective date above.
