The current Farming Careers app works offline. It has no accounts, advertising, analytics or tracking. Your saved app information stays on your device and can be reset in the app.
1. Who we are & what this covers
This privacy policy applies to Plates Life – Farming Careers, the educational Android app provided by PLATES LIFE CIC, company number 17251529, registered in England and Wales. The Android package is com.plateslife.farmingcareers.
It describes the offline app version represented on this website. The company website and correspondence are covered separately by our website & enquiry privacy policy. Google Play and your Android device have their own privacy settings and policies.
Privacy contact: contact@plateslife.site. You can also write to PLATES LIFE CIC, The Old Stables Forton, Montford Bridge, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom, SY4 1ET. Please identify the app or website and explain your enquiry.
2. Data access, collection & sharing
The current app does not transmit user information to PLATES LIFE CIC or another server. It does not include sign-in, advertising, analytics, tracking, cloud sync, third-party AI services or an online reporting system.
The app does not request device permissions, including internet, location, contacts, camera or microphone access. It does not access those sources of personal information.
Information you choose to save or generate while using the app is used locally to provide its features. This includes choices in the quiz, career favourites and comparison selections, viewing history, saved quiz results, roadmap progress, achievements, appearance preferences and onboarding settings. These are not sent to us.
3. What is stored on your device
| Information | Why the app uses it |
|---|---|
| Favourites & comparison selections | Remember careers you want to revisit or compare. |
| Viewing history | Show recently explored careers. |
| Quiz choices & results | Generate exploratory suggestions on the device and show saved results. An in-progress session can be restored by Android; it is not sent to us. |
| Roadmap steps & achievements | Remember planned and completed steps and locally earned milestones. |
| Preferences | Remember appearance choices and whether onboarding has been completed. |
The app uses Android app-private storage, including a local database and preferences. Content needed for career exploration is bundled with the app.
4. How local information is used
Local information supports the feature you are using: saving a favourite, comparing careers, displaying history, suggesting careers from your answers, and showing your learning progress. The quiz uses on-device rules for educational exploration; it does not make hiring, admissions or other legally significant decisions about you.
We do not sell app data, use it for behavioural advertising or send it to advertisers, analytics companies or data brokers.
5. Security & device protection
Android’s app-private storage and device protections control access to locally saved information. Protection also depends on your device configuration and security. Keep your device and operating system updated, use a screen lock, and be careful with shared devices.
We do not promise that any device or storage system is immune from loss or unauthorised access. We do not have remote access to your app database, and there is no server copy for us to recover.
6. Retention, backup & transfer
Information remains locally as needed for the app’s saved features, until you reset it, clear the app’s Android storage, uninstall the app or otherwise remove it through your device. Some lists may be limited by the app’s local history-management rules.
The app disables standard Android cloud backup and configures exclusions for app data in backup and device transfer. Some manufacturers’ migration tools may behave differently. The app offers no cloud-sync or cross-device recovery service.
If a local database is corrupted, the app may need to recreate it and display a notice. Lost local progress cannot be restored by PLATES LIFE CIC.
7. Deleting your information
Open Settings → Manage my data in Farming Careers. You can reset individual categories or choose Reset everything and confirm. The full reset clears saved progress categories and returns app preferences to defaults.
You can also use Android’s app-storage controls or uninstall the app to remove its local data, subject to your device’s behaviour. Clearing data is irreversible unless you hold a separate copy outside the app. We do not retain a server copy.
There is no app account to delete. See the dedicated app data deletion page for step-by-step instructions.
8. Age range
Farming Careers is designed for people aged 13 and over. It does not ask for age, name, email, location or an account. If a young person contacts us by email, the information in that enquiry is handled under the website & enquiry privacy policy. Please do not send unnecessary personal or sensitive information.
9. Google Play & external services
Downloading or updating the app through Google Play is governed by Google’s own services and privacy terms. PLATES LIFE CIC does not receive your Google account details through this offline app.
Operating-system diagnostics, a device manufacturer’s services and other software on your device operate independently of the app. We do not integrate an analytics or crash-reporting SDK that sends your app use to us.
10. Your choices & privacy rights
Depending on the information and applicable law, you may ask to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, restrict its use, object to processing, or receive a portable copy where that right applies. Rights are subject to legal conditions. We do not hold a server copy of your locally saved app information.
Contact contact@plateslife.site to make a request or raise a concern. If a concern is not resolved, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your relevant local supervisory authority. We may need proportionate information to verify a request.
11. Changes to this policy
We will update this page when the app’s information practices change and revise the date above. Any future feature that changes data access, collection or sharing will require the corresponding disclosures and permissions, where applicable.
For questions about this policy or how it relates to a particular app version, contact contact@plateslife.site.
