You may browse certain areas of the Site without registering with us or providing us Personal Information. However, to use certain features of our Site and Services, you must register with us and create an account.
Notice Regarding EU/UK/EEA Residents. Our Services are designed for use in the United States and are not directed to individuals who are residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. If you are uncertain whether any Personal Information you intend to submit pertains to an EU/UK/EEA-resident individual, please contact us at support@quickorganics.com before submitting that information. See also Section 12 (Location of Information) and our Terms of Service, Section 3.2(f).
Information We Collect Directly From You
- Contact and Registration Information. We collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, company or organization name, and account credentials when you register for an account, contact us through our Site, or sign up to receive information from us.
- Use of Services. We collect information you provide when you use our Services, including farm operational data, crop records, input logs, harvest records, field maps, certifier information, inspection records, audit documentation, and other organic certification and record keeping data you submit to the platform. This data may also include GPS coordinates or geolocation data associated with your farm or operation, which may constitute Sensitive Personal Information under applicable law.
- Other Information. We collect any other information you choose to provide to us, such as when you participate in a survey, submit a support request, or communicate with us.
In addition, if you are providing personal information for third parties in connection with using our Services, you are responsible for ensuring that you have all required permissions and consents to provide such personal information to us for use in connection with the Services and that our use of such personal information to provide the Services does not violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or order.
Information We Collect Automatically
We automatically collect information about your use of our Site and Services, including:
- Device and Usage Information. We collect information about how you access our Site and Services, including your browser type and version, operating system, device type, IP address, unique device identifiers, pages viewed, links clicked, date and time of your visit, and the referring URL.
- Log Data. Our servers automatically record information created by your use of the Services, including your IP address, browser type, the dates and times of your access, and details of your activity on the Site.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your interaction with our Site and Services. See “Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms” below for more information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect about you for the following purposes:
- Provide Our Services. To provide, maintain, and improve our Site and Services, process transactions, send you related information (including confirmations, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages), and provide customer support.
- Provide Personalized Services. To personalize and improve your experience on our Site and Services, including by presenting content and features tailored to your interests and preferences.
- Improve and Develop. To better understand how users access and use our Site and Services, for research and development purposes, and to improve and develop new features, services, and functionality.
- Offer Promotions. To send you promotional communications, such as information about products, services, and events offered by us and our partners, that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails at any time (see “Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Information” below).
- Compliance. To comply with applicable legal requirements, industry standards, and our policies, and to protect the rights, property, and safety of Quick Organics, our users, and the public.
-
Use of Customer Data in Deidentified and Aggregate Form. We use Customer Content to generate Aggregate Information and Deidentified Information for the following purposes:
- (a) Product improvement and analytics — to analyze how Customers use the Service, identify common workflows, and improve Service features.
- (b) Artificial intelligence and machine learning model training — to train and improve AI and ML models that power Service features, including Organic System Plan auto-completion, document classification, optical character recognition, compliance-gap detection, and natural-language assistants trained on NOP and state organic regulations. Models are trained on Deidentified Information only, are evaluated for memorization of identifiable inputs, and are not used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects with respect to any Customer.
- (c) Benchmarking and industry insights — to create aggregate benchmarks (e.g., regional yield averages, common input categories, certification timelines) that may be shown back to Customers within the Service.
- (d) Internal research — to conduct internal research that supports the Service.
Our deidentification practices are described in the Quick Organics Deidentification Standard, available at quickorganics.com/deidentification. You may exclude your underlying Customer Content from the AI/ML training and benchmarking use cases above by contacting support@quickorganics.com or by using the controls in your account settings. Exclusion applies to future training runs and future aggregates; previously trained models and previously published aggregates may continue to reflect contributions from your prior data. This limitation is a technical necessity: once a model has been trained, individual data contributions cannot be surgically removed from that model without retraining it from scratch. Quick Organics will apply your opt-out to all future training cycles.
3.1Who Sees Your Data.
Quick Organics operates a multi-stakeholder platform. The following parties may access your data, only as necessary for their role:
- You and users you authorize — see Customer Content you have created or that has been shared with your role.
- Other account holders within your operation (e.g., farm owner, farm employees, farm-side contacts who have their own Quick Organics accounts) — see Customer Content within the scope of their assigned role. Each account holder accepts this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service in their own right and has independent privacy rights, including the right to submit access, deletion, and opt-out requests with respect to their own Personal Information.
- Your selected Certifier and assigned Inspector(s) — see your Organic System Plan, filing cabinet documents, activity records, and other certification-related Customer Content, only for the operations and certification periods they are responsible for. Certifying Parties act as independent controllers of the Personal Information they receive (see “How We Share Your Information” below).
- Quick Organics personnel — see Customer Content only as necessary to provide, maintain, and support the Service, subject to confidentiality obligations and internal access controls.
How We Share Your Information
We may share the information we collect about you as follows:
- Certifiers, Inspectors, and Accredited Certifying Agents. Organic certifiers, inspectors, and USDA-accredited certifying agents (collectively, “Certifying Parties”) access your Personal Information and Customer Content as necessary to perform organic certification, inspection, and compliance review functions under the USDA National Organic Program (7 CFR Part 205) and applicable state organic programs. Certifying Parties act as independent controllers of the Personal Information they receive through the Service — they determine the purposes and means of their own processing in accordance with their regulatory obligations, and their handling of Personal Information is governed by their own privacy practices, not by this Privacy Policy. By using the Service to engage with a Certifying Party, you acknowledge and consent to this disclosure. An access log of Certifying Party activity is available to you in your account dashboard.
- Consent. We may share your information with third parties when you have given us your consent to do so.
- Affiliates. We may share your information with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- Service Providers. We share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data analytics, payment processing, customer service, and marketing. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. A current list of our subprocessors is available at quickorganics.com/subprocessors.
- Business Transfers. We may share your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, acquisition, or dissolution of all or a portion of our business, including in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding.
- In Response to Legal Process. We may disclose your information to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, court order, legal process, or governmental request.
- To Protect Us and Others. We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information. Quick Organics does not “sell” or “share” (as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and equivalent state laws) Personal Information.
Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use your Sensitive Personal Information to infer characteristics about you.
Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We and our service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site and Services. We may combine this information with other Personal Information we collect about you.
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Services.
- Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site.
- Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.
Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.
Do-Not-Track / Opt-Out Preference Signals. We honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC). When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of the “sale” and “sharing” of Personal Information under applicable law. You may also disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies), but such disabling will impair use of the Site and Services.
Third-Party Analytics
We use automated devices and third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site and Services. These services use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Site and Services and to report on activities and trends. These services may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. To opt out of Google Analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or use a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honor as described in this Policy.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our Site and Services may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.
Security of Your Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee security.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your Personal Information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Services, plus a reasonable period thereafter for backup, archival, audit, and legal-compliance purposes. Specific retention periods are as follows:
- Account and registration data: Retained for the duration of your account and for three (3) years following account closure or termination.
- Farm operational data (Customer Content): Retained for the duration of your account and for one (1) year following account closure, after which it is deleted unless required for legal compliance.
- Automatically collected data (cookies, logs, device data): Retained for up to twenty-four (24) months from collection.
- Support and communication records: Retained for three (3) years following resolution.
Deidentified and Aggregate Information. Information that has been deidentified or aggregated in accordance with our Deidentification Standard (quickorganics.com/deidentification) and applicable law (including Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140(m)) is not Personal Information and is not subject to deletion under your privacy rights. Accordingly, a deletion request will not require Quick Organics to delete: (a) Aggregate Information or Deidentified Information previously derived from your Customer Content; (b) AI or machine learning models previously trained on Deidentified Information; or (c) statistical insights or benchmarks previously generated from your data. Quick Organics will delete the underlying identifiable Personal Information in accordance with the retention schedule above.
You may request deletion of your Personal Information by contacting us at support@quickorganics.com. See “Your California Privacy Rights” and “Multi-State Privacy Rights” below for details on your rights.

Notification will include a description of the breach, the categories of data involved, and recommended steps you can take to protect yourself.
Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Information
You may request access, a copy, correction, or deletion of your Personal Information and other data that you have submitted to us by contacting us at support@quickorganics.com.
