2. Do the ATP’s agreements address ownership of my data after my data is transferred?

You are the owner of your Data. AgSights believes that ownership should give you the right to share, download, and delete your Data.

AgSights is the owner of any aggregated data, which is anonymized to remove your personal information.

Clients agree up front that data on animals, excluding ownership and economic data, moves with the animal to new owners. Data added by those owners, likewise, moves backward to previous owners.

All companies that provide services to AgSights and as a result have access to your Data must also abide by our Data Use Policy.

4. Will the ATP obtain my consent before providing other companies with access to my data?
