This Privacy Policy explains how Appixer Technologies (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the CropCalc mobile application and this website (cropcalc.appixer.com).
1. Who we are
CropCalc is published by Appixer Technologies. CropCalc helps farmers, traders, and mandi users calculate kaat and settlements, view daily rates, check weather, convert units, save records, and share receipts — in English and Urdu.
CropCalc does not require an account or login. Calculation history and most settings stay on your device.
2. Data we collect or access
Depending on how you use CropCalc, we may collect or access:
- Approximate location — used to provide local weather
- Device identifiers used by analytics, advertising, or crash reporting SDKs
- Notification tokens (FCM) when you enable notifications
- App settings, calculation history (Record), and offline caches (for example last rates board or weather) stored on your device
- Subscription entitlement status for CropCalc Plus, managed through Google Play Billing (we do not collect your payment card details)
3. How we use data
We use this information to:
- Provide weather for your approximate area
- Load and refresh daily mandi rates from our cloud database
- Send rate or app notifications you opted into
- Improve stability (for example Crashlytics)
- Understand feature usage through analytics
- Show ads (AdMob) and respect consent / privacy choices where available
- Bill and restore CropCalc Plus through Google Play when you choose to subscribe
- Apply remote configuration such as maintenance mode, feature toggles, and in-app promo banners
4. Third parties
CropCalc uses trusted third-party services. Their processing is governed by their own policies:
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging, Remote Config, Cloud Firestore for published rates, and related services as used)
- Google Mobile Ads / AdMob (including optional rewarded ads for some free-tier share actions)
- Google Play, which processes CropCalc Plus payments. CropCalc does not collect card, wallet, or other payment details
- WeatherAPI.com for weather data
- Play Store and system share targets when you choose to share content (for example WhatsApp, PDF, or images)
5. Permissions
CropCalc may request:
- Location — for local weather
- Notifications — optional alerts for rates and announcements
- Photos / media access — only when saving images to your gallery (platform-dependent)
6. Data retention & storage
Calculation history and many settings stay on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app.
Offline caches (such as the last rates board or weather snapshot) remain on your device so those features can still open when you are offline.
An on-device flag records whether CropCalc Plus is active, so ads stay off and history CSV export stays available offline until Google Play says the plan has lapsed.
Cloud processing by third-party SDKs follows those providers’ retention practices.
7. Children’s privacy
CropCalc is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. CropCalc Plus
CropCalc Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription billed by Google Play. Plans may include weekly, monthly, six-month, and yearly options as shown in the app and on Google Play.
While Plus is active, CropCalc does not request ads (including ads that free users may see when sharing rate cards), and you can export your calculation Record as a CSV file.
You can cancel anytime from Google Play subscriptions. Canceling stops the next renewal. Plus stays active until the period you already paid for ends. Restoring purchases uses Google Play on the same Google account.
9. Your choices
You can:
- Revoke location or notification permission in system settings
- Turn rate-update and announcement topics on or off in Settings → Notifications
- Manage ad privacy choices inside the app where available
- Manage or cancel CropCalc Plus in Google Play subscriptions
- Delete saved calculations from Record, or uninstall the app to remove on-device data
- Contact us for help with privacy questions

11. Policy updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of CropCalc after an update means you accept the revised policy.
