Privacy Policy

R2Data2 LLC  ·  Effective Date: April 8, 2026

1. Introduction

R2Data2 LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the R2Data2 agricultural risk data platform and API at r2data2.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information in connection with your use of our services.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website, API, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

R2Data2 primarily serves business and professional users, including agricultural lenders, insurers, analysts, and developers. Our Services are accessible to any individual with a valid email address via our free tier. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect the following information when you register for or use the Services:

  • Email address (used for account creation, authentication, and service communications);
  • Name (optional, provided at free-tier signup — stored for internal account management purposes);
  • Support and correspondence you send to us.

We do not collect billing or payment information. All payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. When you subscribe, we receive subscription metadata (customer ID and subscription ID) via Stripe webhook and retrieve the email address associated with your Stripe account to provision API access and send your API key. No card numbers, billing addresses, or payment method details are ever transmitted to or stored in our systems.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access the Services, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:

  • API request logs, including endpoint accessed, county FIPS code (where applicable as a path parameter), timestamp, response code, response time, and a SHA-256 hash of your API key (used to associate requests with your account for usage analytics and billing). These logs do not intentionally contain personal information. Users should not include personal data in API parameters;
  • IP address, approximate geographic location, browser type, operating system, and device information — collected by our hosting infrastructure provider (Railway) as part of standard web server access logs. See Railway's Privacy Policy for details;
  • Usage data, such as features accessed and error logs.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as government identification numbers, financial account numbers, health information, or biometric data. We do not collect personal information about the end consumers or borrowers whose agricultural properties or loans may be analyzed using our Output Data — we process geographic, agronomic, and climate data, not consumer personal data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To create and manage your account and authenticate API access;
  • To provide, operate, and improve the Services;
  • To manage subscriptions and communicate with our payment processor (Stripe) on your behalf;
  • To send transactional emails, including account notices and API key information;
  • To send service updates, product announcements, and optional marketing communications (you may opt out at any time);
  • To monitor usage for rate limiting, abuse detection, and security purposes;
  • To respond to support requests and communications;
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations;
  • To enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information to train machine learning models offered to third parties.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

4.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Services, including:

  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers (Railway);
  • Payment processors (Stripe — handles all billing and payment data independently; we receive only subscription status notifications);
  • Transactional email delivery services (Resend).

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it to perform services on our behalf.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, the safety of others, or to investigate fraud.

4.3 Business Transfers

If the Company undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website prior to such transfer.

4.4 No Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information, including your email address, for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services.

API usage data: We store daily aggregate request counts (requests per day per API key) and individual API request logs (endpoint, county FIPS code, response code, response time, and a SHA-256 hash of your API key) in our database. Request logs are periodically purged and are not retained indefinitely. Aggregate usage counts are retained for the life of the account. Infrastructure-level logs (including IP addresses and browser information) are retained by our hosting provider (Railway) in accordance with their own data retention policies.

If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within ninety (90) days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes.

6. Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS), API key authentication, and access controls.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and protect your API keys. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use a single session cookie (r2_admin_session) solely to maintain authenticated sessions for administrative access to the admin dashboard. This cookie is not set for standard API users or visitors to the public website.

We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking technologies on r2data2.com. Blocking cookies has no effect on API access or standard website functionality.
