The services described on this website are developed and operated by the developer Hyield. HYield Consulting PLLC offers agricultural economics, farm yield and crop production consulting.
HYield Consulting PLLC, located at 2154 W 520 S, Roosevelt - 84066-5076, United States (US), values the trust that farm operators, lenders, processors and partners place in us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, use, share and protect personal information and farm records that come into our care through our website, our consulting projects, our phone line and our email address inbox@hyield.autos.
We write this policy in plain language so every client can understand exactly what we hold and why. Where this document mentions we, our or us, it refers to HYield Consulting PLLC and its working team. The privacy owed to a crop consultant is the same trust owed to a banker or an accountant: field yields, moisture logs, cost figures and production plans are commercially sensitive, and we treat them with that same level of care.
By contacting us, requesting a consultation or using our website, you agree to the practices described here. If you disagree with any part of this policy, you may choose not to provide information or you may contact us to discuss the handling of a particular record before we begin any engagement.
This policy applies to information gathered when you interact with HYield Consulting PLLC through the website at https://www.hyield.autos, through our consulting projects and audits, through email correspondence, through telephone calls to +13866145175, and through any documents shared with us by mail or electronic transfer.
The policy covers both personal information that identifies a living individual and agronomic or commercial data that, while not always personal by itself, may become linked to an individual when combined with a name or a business. We apply the same protective standards to farm production data as we do to personal data, because we understand that yield and cost figures can reveal far more than a mailing address.
This policy does not change the terms of your consulting agreement. Where our engagement letter or terms of service state a specific data handling promise, the more specific statement governs for that engagement. This policy is broader and covers all ordinary interactions.
The information we collect falls into several clear categories. First, we collect contact details that you share with us directly: your full name, the name of your operation, your business and billing address, an email address, a telephone number and, where relevant, the role you hold on the farm.
Second, during a consulting engagement we collect the agronomic and financial material you choose to provide so we can do the work you request. This includes crop yield histories, elevator receipts, soil test reports, moisture probe logs, irrigation water use, planting records, fertilizer and seed invoices, machinery utilisation sheets, lease documents, insurance schedules and commodity purchase records.
Third, we collect limited technical data from the website itself, such as the pages you open, the general region of your connection and the type of device you use. We collect this in an aggregated form that does not single out your identity, and we use it only to keep the site working and to understand which sections matter most to visitors.
In every case we collect the smallest amount needed. We never ask for payment card numbers, government identity documents or bank account details through this website, and we would only ever accept such details through a signed engagement and a separate secure channel.
Most information reaches us because you send it on purpose. You type your name into the enquiry form, you write to inbox@hyield.autos, you telephone the office, or you hand over a folder of records for a benchmark study. We treat every item you send as serving the task you asked us to perform.
We also gather information from the operation of the website. When a page loads, the server records basic connection details so the page can be delivered correctly. This is a standard technical event that occurs on nearly every website and carries no personal detail beyond a network address and a request line.
Rarely, we may gather publicly available information about a property or a program, such as published soil survey data or a public grant notice, to support our analysis. We do not buy marketing lists of consumer data, and we do not combine your farm records with any data broker. If information comes from a source outside your own documents, we tell you the source inside the relevant report.
We use personal and agronomic information for a defined set of purposes. The primary purpose is to provide the consulting service you request, which includes building yield baselines, performing soil and irrigation audits, developing commodity price strategy, preparing cost studies, or drafting grant applications on your behalf.
We use contact details to communicate with you about your project, to send your reports, to arrange field visits and calls, and to send invoices and receipts. We use agronomic details solely to produce the analysis, models and reports described in your scope of work. We do not use your field data to draw conclusions for any other farm unless you ask us to compare across a group you control.
We use website technical data to operate, maintain and improve the site. We may use aggregated, non identifying patterns to decide which services to describe in fuller detail. We do not sell your information, we do not rent your information, and we do not allow advertisers to target you through our website using your consulting records.
We also use information to meet our legal obligations, such as keeping accurate tax and accounting records required by the laws of the United States, and to defend legal rights if a dispute arises with a client.
The legal foundation for our processing differs by situation. For services you request, our basis is performance of a contract: we need your name to invoice you, your records to analyse your yield, and your email address to send your report. Without these, the engagement cannot function.
For enquiries before a contract exists, our basis is your consent and the legitimate interest in responding to a message you sent us. We answer enquiries briefly and we do not turn an enquiry into a marketing campaign.
For keeping accounts and meeting legal duties, our basis is compliance with legal obligations that apply to a professional consulting firm based in the United States. Where a legal obligation sets a retention period, that period governs over our ordinary deletion schedule.
For the small amount of website analytics we run, our basis is our legitimate interest in understanding whether the site works and what content visitors value. Where a specific set of laws gives you the right to object, we honour that right in the way described later in this policy.
We practice a strict policy of collecting no more than the task requires. When we request records for a benchmark, we ask for the specific years and the specific fields under study, not your entire business history. When we request contact details, we collect the fields needed to reply and to invoice, and nothing extra.
We explain why we need each category of document at the start of an engagement so you can decide what to share. If a document turns out to be unnecessary, we say so and we do not insist on seeing it. Our scoping calls are designed to define the smallest set of records that will answer the question on the table.
We review the information we hold on a regular schedule and delete or archive what is no longer needed under our retention rules. We would rather ask you for a record a second time than hold a mass of surplus files that raise risk without adding value.
We protect information with controls proportional to its sensitivity. Reports containing field metrics and cost figures are stored in access controlled accounts that only named members of our team can reach. Strong passwords and two factor login protect the accounts that hold your files.
When we transfer files, we prefer encrypted channels and we avoid sending entire record sets over ordinary consumer email. For a large survey of documents we agree a secure upload method with you before the engagement begins.
Inside the team, access is granted on a need to know basis. The person preparing your audit sees your records; the person answering the phone does not need your whole history. We review access permissions whenever a team member changes role or leaves.
No system is free of risk, so we respond to incidents with a written plan: we identify what happened, limit the exposure, notify affected clients without delay and review our controls to reduce the chance of a repeat. We take the reporting of any suspected issue seriously and we invite you to contact us promptly if you believe your data may have been compromised.
HYield Consulting PLLC offers services aimed at farm and agribusiness professionals, and this website is not designed to attract children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone below the age of majority in their place of residence, and our consulting services are not directed at minors.
The agronomic themes we discuss are technical and economic. We have no games, rewards, chat rooms or other features meant to draw visits from children, and we do not use the site to gather details about children in any household.
If a school group, a youth farm program or a family brings a young person to help interpret a report, any staff or student details are handled strictly through the adult who engages us. If we discover that we have collected a child detail without parental involvement, we delete it promptly.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has shared information with us should contact us at the address in the final section of this policy, and we will investigate and remove any such data without delay.
You hold clear rights over your information. You may ask us for a copy of the personal and agronomic data we hold about you or your operation, and you may ask us to correct a detail that is wrong or out of date. Such a request will be answered in a reasonable time and without charge for a first copy.
You may ask us to delete data we no longer need, subject to records we are legally required to keep for tax or accounting purposes. You may request that we restrict the way some information is used, and you may withdraw consent for any processing that rests on consent alone.
You may ask us to transfer data in a structured, machine readable form where that is technically straightforward, and you may decline the optional summary of our services without any effect on an ongoing engagement. You may also direct us to send a project report only to a designated list of recipients.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us by email at inbox@hyield.autos or by phone at +13866145175, and identify the account, engagement or records involved. We may ask a question or two to confirm that the request comes from the right person before we act, and we answer every request, whether it grants or declines the action, in plain terms.
We keep the minimum amount of data for the minimum sensible time. Project working files that support a consulting report are retained only for as long as the engagement letter requires, and ordinarily no longer than needed to answer follow up questions or to defend the work if a dispute arises.
Financial records such as invoices and payment receipts are kept for the period set by United States tax rules, because we have a legal duty to preserve accurate books and to respond to an audit. That legal period overrides our general deletion schedule.
Contact details for an enquiry that does not become an engagement are removed within a short period unless you ask us to keep in touch. Mailing and email lists, if any, require your explicit opt in and carry a clear route for you to leave at any moment.
When retention ends, files are securely removed. Paper records are shredded and digital files are erased in a way that removes recoverable copies from our storage. We keep a simple record of when each engagement file was deleted so that deletion is a deliberate act rather than an accident.
Our business is based in the United States, and the information we hold is ordinarily kept within facilities we select for clients in the United States and elsewhere. If client work ever requires files to move between places, we keep transfers to the narrowest technical path and under agreements that carry suitable data protection guarantees.
For visitors who live outside the United States, we want to be clear that any information shared with us crosses borders and is stored on servers selected by our service providers, which may be located in the United States. By sending an enquiry or entering an engagement, you acknowledge this arrangement.
We choose providers that offer documented protection for the data types we store. We keep an internal list of the providers that handle client records so we can confirm where data rests at any given time if you ask. Our goal is that no client should wonder which corner of the cloud holds their work.
This website may mention or link to external resources such as soil survey portals, state extension offices, grant program pages and equipment makers. When you leave our site through a link, the external site has its own privacy rules over which we have no control, and we encourage you to read them before you share anything there.
We do not embed advertising networks or third party trackers in our own pages. Where we rely on a hosted service such as an email form or a document viewer, we choose providers with clear privacy commitments and we configure them to minimise data collection.
Mentioning a third party program does not transfer your consulting records to that party. Reaching the program remains your choice, and we never forward your contact details to a program unless you ask us to support an application you are submitting.
We review this Privacy Policy whenever our practices change, when the law changes, or when we hear from clients that a part of it is unclear. When we update it, we change the effective date at the top of this page and we keep prior versions for reference where useful.
Material changes that affect how we handle your data will be drawn to your attention, for example through a notice in a project email to current clients or a clear update on this page. We will not apply a retroactive change to free ourselves from an earlier promise about data you already shared.
Continuing to use the site or an engagement after an update means you accept the revised policy. Because policy wording matters, we write every revision in the same plain language and we welcome questions about what a changed sentence means for your operation.
HYield Consulting PLLC is the controller of the information described in this policy and decides how and why it is used.
