1. Purpose of the Application
The Agreen Application helps farmers participate in sustainable agriculture activities, including the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) Method Project, and supports field monitoring, data collection, and program communications.
2. Eligibility to Use
I confirm that I am at least 18 years of age. I confirm that I am a participating farmer or an authorized user, and that I own, lease, or hold lawful operational control over the agricultural plots registered in this Application and possess the legal authority to implement project practices on these lands. I will use the application only for its intended purpose and as guided by Green Carbon and its partners.
3. Data Collection and Licensing
I understand that the application will collect various types of information, including but not limited to:
- Personal details (e.g., name, phone number, location)
- Farm-related data (e.g., crop type, water usage, field photos)
- Device permissions required for verification (e.g., Camera, Location/GPS, and Local Storage) and usage activity (e.g., application logs).
I understand that the Camera is used to take photos of my fields, water pipes, and farming activities. These photos serve as evidence that the project meets its data collection and verification requirements, which must be satisfied for the project to be eligible to generate carbon credits.
I grant Green Carbon Inc. an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, analyze, aggregate, and commercialize all agronomic, photographic, and environmental data. Personal data will be processed and retained in accordance with applicable data protection laws and the Company’s Privacy Policy.

I understand that the application supports activities that may generate Carbon Credits. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate written project agreement between me and Green Carbon Inc., any and all Carbon Credits or greenhouse gas reductions generated belong entirely to Green Carbon Inc. I agree not to register, claim, transfer, or sell the emissions reductions generated from my registered plots through any other third-party system, registry, or standard.
5. Data Rights and Cross-Border Transfer
I agree that Green Carbon may use my data in any way necessary for project reporting, analysis, monitoring, certification, and other official or future project-related activities.
I understand that:
- I will not receive any payment, compensation, or ownership rights over the data I provide.
- Green Carbon may continue to use any data I submit, even if I stop using the application or withdraw from the project.
- Green Carbon may share my data with trusted project partners (such as local universities, technical experts, or certification bodies) as needed to support or verify project activities.

I will be required to tick the box to confirm my acceptance of the changes in order to continue using the application.
8. Withdrawal and Data Retention
I can stop using the application at any time. I hold the right to request the deletion or withdrawal of my personal identifying information (such as my name, contact information, and login credentials) by emailing Green Carbon directly at agreendev@green-carbon.inc or by using the ‘Contact Green Carbon Office’ option located in the Support section of the Application. Upon receiving a verified request, Green Carbon will delete or anonymize my personal identifiers within 30 days. However, all agronomic data, GPS coordinates, field photos, and project records submitted through the application will remain available to Green Carbon and will be permanently retained for a minimum of 15 years after the end of the project’s crediting period to comply with international carbon standard audits, Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV), and regulatory requirements—even after I stop using the application or the project ends.
