Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026 

AGX is a global community of practice dedicated to advancing technology for agriculture and strengthening knowledge systems that benefit small-scale farmers. The community brings together researchers, technologists, practitioners, policymakers, and development partners from across regions. 

We are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who join and participate in the AGX community. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected. 

Information we collect 

When individuals register for the AGX community platform or participate in AGX activities, we may collect basic personal and professional information to support community participation. 

This may include: 

  • Name and contact information, such as email address and phone number 
  • Professional information, including organization, title or position, and areas of expertise 
  • Sector involvement, such as participation in research institutions, government, NGOs, private sector, investors, or farmer organizations 
  • Professional links, such as LinkedIn profiles, personal websites, or portfolios 
  • Location information, including country, city, and time zone
  • Optional demographic information, such as age range and gender identity
  • Languages spoken or preferred languages for AGX content 

Members may also choose to provide additional profile information, such as a profile photo, short biography, accessibility needs, or interests in participating in AGX events, convenings, or partnerships. 

How we use your information 

The information collected is used to support the functioning of the AGX community and to facilitate collaboration among members. This includes maintaining member profiles, connecting individuals with shared expertise or interests, organizing events and community activities, and communicating updates related to AGX programs and opportunities. 

Information shared with AGX is used solely to support community engagement and is not used for commercial purposes. 

Community profiles 

As AGX is a collaborative network, some professional information, such as name, organization, role, areas of expertise, profile photo, and biography, may be visible to other members within the community platform. This helps members identify potential collaborators and connect with peers across the ecosystem. 

Members can update or modify their profile information at any time and may choose how much information they wish to share. 

Data sharing and security 

AGX does not sell or trade personal information. Limited information may be shared with trusted service providers who support the operation of the community platform, event registration systems, or communication tools. These providers are required to maintain appropriate data protection standards. 

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to safeguard personal information from unauthorized access or misuse. 

Data retention 

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to support participation in the AGX community and related activities. Members may request removal of their information from our systems at any time. 

Your rights 

Members may request access to the information we hold about them, update their details, or request that their information be removed. Members may also opt out of AGX communications at any time. 

Changes to this policy 

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in community practices or relevant regulations. Updates will be shared with the community and posted on the AGX platform.
