For clients
Confidentiality and data protection
Plantation inventories, farm boundaries, site plans and survey imagery are often commercially sensitive. This is how I handle them.
Before the work starts
- I'm happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share anything. Yours or mine, whichever you prefer.
- The written scope says what data I will receive, what I will produce and who owns the results.
During the project
- Your data is used only for your project. It is not used to train models for anyone else, and it is not shared.
- Access is limited to the people working on your project, and anyone who works on it is bound by the same confidentiality terms.
- Location data is removed from photos before any of them are shown outside the project.
At the end
- You receive the results, the code and the documentation.
- I return or delete your data, as you choose, and confirm it in writing.
Personal data
Some projects involve personal data, such as farmer names linked to plots, or household locations. I handle it in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): only the personal data the project needs, used only for the agreed purpose, and kept no longer than necessary.
Your work on this site
Client work appears here only with the client's permission, and anonymised unless they agree otherwise. The oil palm case study is published that way.
