What CropGraph stores about you.

CropGraph does not identify you. No cookies. The website counts page views in aggregate through cookieless analytics. The API does not log request content or IP addresses.

Geolocation

The home page asks for your browser location only when you click "Use my location." If you allow it, your coordinates are sent to the API once to generate the response on the page. The coordinates are not stored anywhere. They never leave the request that produced your planting plan.

If you decline, type a ZIP, or do nothing, the page falls back to Port Angeles, Washington (where this was built). No location is collected without your action.

The API

Requests to api.cropgraph.com are processed and discarded. The service does not log request bodies, query strings, headers, or IP addresses. Rate limiting uses in-memory counters keyed by IP that live for the duration of the rate-limit window and are not persisted.

Standard server access metrics (request counts, error rates, response times) may be visible to the platform that hosts the API (Vercel). Those metrics are aggregated and operational, not user-level.

ZIP code lookups

The "ZIP code" input on the home page calls api.zippopotam.us, a public ZIP-to-centroid service, to convert a US ZIP into approximate coordinates. That request is sent directly from your browser to Zippopotam. CropGraph never sees the ZIP you typed.

No cookies

The site sets zero cookies. It does not use local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, or any other client-side persistence. Reload the page and there is no state to remember.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-respecting, cookieless service, to understand how the site is used. Page views and referral sources are tracked in aggregate. No cookies are set. No personal data is collected or stored. No individual visitors are identified.

Fonts

Web fonts (Bricolage Grotesque, DM Sans, JetBrains Mono) are loaded from Google Fonts. Google may receive your IP address and User-Agent string as part of the font request. If that matters to you, the page degrades gracefully to system fonts.

External links

Links to GitHub, Zippopotam, and Google Fonts go to third-party services with their own privacy policies. CropGraph cannot speak for them.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the date at the top of this page changes too. The first edit will likely be the addition of paid tiers, which would introduce optional account data. That has not happened yet.

Questions about privacy go through GitHub issues on the cropgraph-api repository.
