Welcome to TheYieldGrid (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Our website address is: https://theyieldgrid.com.

We are a data-driven agronomic resource dedicated to providing expert calculators, planting guides, and tool specifications. We strictly value your privacy, process data with institutional security, and are committed to protecting your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better tools and communication to our users. This includes:

  • Form Submissions: When you contact us or subscribe to our YieldGrid Dispatch newsletter, we collect your name and email address via our secure CRM partner, HubSpot.
  • Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
  • Analytics Data: We collect non-identifiable usage data (such as page views, calculator usage, and geographic region) to improve our agronomic tools.

2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to ensure our platform functions correctly and to track the performance of our tools.

  • Essential Cookies: Used for site functionality, such as saving your login state or comment preferences.
  • Affiliate Cookies (Amazon Associates): TheYieldGrid is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link on our site, a 24-hour cookie is placed on your browser. This allows us to earn a small commission if a purchase is made. This process does not collect personal information like your name or email.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our calculators. You can review Google’s privacy policy here.

3. Third-Party Data Processors

To run an enterprise-grade platform, we utilize highly secure third-party processors. We never sell, trade, or rent your personal data.

CRM & Email (HubSpot): We utilize HubSpot to securely manage our contact forms and newsletter subscriptions. Data submitted through these forms is encrypted and stored in our secure HubSpot portal. You may unsubscribe from our communications at any time with a single click.

Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

4. Embedded Content

Articles and guides on this site may include embedded content (e.g., instructional videos, data charts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

5. Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize follow-up comments automatically. Form submissions and newsletter subscriptions are retained securely in our CRM until you request deletion or unsubscribe.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (such as under GDPR or CCPA), you have strict rights over your data. You may request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • That we erase any personal data we hold about you (excluding data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
