Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2026

ZarSage AI is a desktop agriculture assistant. Most farm records are kept on your device. Online processing is used when needed for accounts, licenses, App Store subscriptions, usage limits, AI requests, weather, soil data, satellite imagery, map search, optional Google connections, diagnostics, and support.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the ZarSage AI desktop app, the ZarSage website, and related online services. "ZarSage", "we", "us", and "our" refer to ZarSage AI.

Information We Collect

Account and subscription information. If you create an account, sign in, activate a license, or start a subscription, we may process your name, email address, profile image if provided by a sign-in provider, session information, license status, Mac App Store subscription status, plan type, and subscription status. Direct-channel payment card details are handled by Polar, and Mac App Store purchase information is handled by Apple. Payment card details are not stored by ZarSage.

Mac App Store subscription proof. If you purchase or restore a Mac App Store subscription, the app sends Apple-signed StoreKit transaction proof to ZarSage so we can validate the subscription with Apple and attach active plan access to your account. We store purchase identifiers, product identifier, bundle identifier, App Store environment, subscription status, expiry and revocation dates where provided, and a hashed transaction reference where needed to prevent abuse and keep your account access active.

Farm records stored in the app. Depending on what you use, the desktop app may store field names, field boundaries, coordinates, acreage, crop projects, tasks, scouting observations, intervention records, soil samples, sampling points, weather and soil datasets, uploaded field resources, document indexes, chat history, drafts, preferences, and backup files. Field boundaries and coordinates may identify farm locations.

Information sent for online features. When you use online features, ZarSage may send the information needed for that feature. For example, AI requests can include your prompt, recent conversation context, selected field context, task details, weather or soil context, and relevant document excerpts. Weather, soil, satellite imagery, and map search requests can include coordinates, dates, search text, the satellite indices requested, and related request details.

Usage limits and diagnostics. We process usage counts for metered features such as AI, weather, soil, geocoding, fields, and documents. We may also receive app version, platform, license state, error reports, request path, response status, and similar diagnostic information. You can opt out of desktop telemetry in Settings.

How We Use Information

  • Provide field, soil, weather, task, document, map search, and AI features.
  • Authenticate users, validate licenses, manage subscriptions, and enforce plan limits.
  • Process optional Google Drive backup and Google Tasks sync when you connect those services.
  • Protect against fraud, abuse, excessive usage, and security incidents.
  • Debug problems, improve reliability, and respond to support requests.

Local Storage

ZarSage AI is local-first. Most app data is stored on your device, including farm records, tasks, soil entries, weather and soil datasets, uploaded files, document indexes, chat history, drafts, preferences, and local backups. License keys, App Store session tokens, and Google connection tokens are stored using local credential storage where available.

Online Processing

ZarSage services process account, license, App Store entitlement, subscription, usage, field metadata, and document metadata so the app can validate access and enforce plan limits. Document content is stored locally unless you choose to send relevant excerpts through an AI request or backup your app data to Google Drive.

AI requests are sent to AI service providers to generate responses. Weather, soil, and geocoding requests are sent to the providers needed for those features. We do not sell your personal information or serve advertising.

Optional Google Integrations

Google Drive Backup and Google Tasks Sync are optional. They are disabled unless you choose to connect them.

If you use Google Drive Backup, ZarSage creates a backup ZIP of your local app data and uploads it to your Google Drive. If you use Google Tasks Sync, ZarSage creates or updates a "ZarSage AI" task list and tasks in your Google Tasks account.

You can disconnect these integrations in ZarSage Settings or revoke access from your Google Account.

Service Providers

We use service providers for hosting, authentication, direct payment processing through Polar, Mac App Store purchase handling through Apple, AI responses, maps and geocoding, weather data, soil data, diagnostics, and optional Google integrations. These providers process information as needed to provide their services to ZarSage and our users.

Sharing

We share information only to operate ZarSage AI, process payments, provide requested features, comply with law, protect our rights, prevent abuse, or work with service providers acting on our behalf. We do not sell personal information.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. These include secure transport, local credential protection, access controls, abuse prevention, and monitoring. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Retention

Local app data remains on your device until you delete it or remove the app data. Account, subscription, license, usage, diagnostic, and support records are kept only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, billing, tax, fraud-prevention, and security obligations.

Your Choices

  • You can edit or delete local app data in ZarSage AI.
  • You can export or restore a local backup from Settings.
  • You can disconnect Google integrations at any time.
  • You can opt out of desktop telemetry in Settings.
  • You can request access, correction, deletion, or export of personal information we hold.

Children

ZarSage AI is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International Processing

ZarSage and our service providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
