Marine Mitra — Aquaculture Farm Management

Last updated: 30 September 2026

Marine Mitra ("we", "our", "the app") is a farm management tool for aquaculture (shrimp/fish pond) operators, used by farm owners and the field managers they work with to record daily pond data. This page explains what information the app collects, why, and how you can control or remove it.

Information we collect

"Locations" in the app means the farm site names you type in — a location record also stores a map pin for that site, so it can be shown on a map and used for weather/climate advisories. Most of the time you set that pin by dropping it on a map or pasting coordinates you copied elsewhere. If you instead tap "use my location," the app reads your device's GPS position once, at that moment, only because you tapped it — it never reads your location automatically, in the background, or without that tap.

How we use this information

Solely to operate the app: authenticating you, storing and displaying your farm's records, generating feed/health recommendations from your logged data, and (if enabled) sending you notifications about your farm. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.

A few processors help run the app, and only ever see what's needed to do their job: Supabase hosts our database and sign-in; Cloudflare stores the photos and videos you upload and runs most of the AI models that read a photo you submit (a test strip, meter, or logbook page) or answer a question you ask; and Anthropic (maker of the Claude AI model) processes a shrimp photo when you use the AI health check, so it can point out visible signs worth a closer look. None of them use your data for anything beyond handling that request, and none may use it to train their own general-purpose models. Photos and videos are kept in private storage and are never published to a public address — they are served only after we check that the person asking is allowed to see that farm's data.

Who can see your data

Farm data is visible to the farm owner and the managers assigned to that farm's locations — this is how the app is designed to support a team working the same ponds. It is not visible to other farms or the public. The one exception is the in-app Marketplace: a listing you choose to post there (and the phone number you post it with) is visible to other signed-in users, so buyers/sellers can find and contact each other, the same way a public classifieds board works.

Messages are visible only to you and the person you are talking to. Technician bookings: your phone number is shared with the technician (and theirs with you) only after they accept your booking. Your pond's records are shared with a technician only if you switch on "Share this pond's records" for that booking. The technician then sees a summary of the last 14 days, and only for that booking. A technician's public profile shows their name, qualification, experience, area, fees and any company they work for; their phone, certificate and exact location are never shown publicly.

Lab tests: the lab you book sees the tests you chose, the pond name, your note and the date; your phone number is shared with the lab (and theirs with you) only after they accept. The lab's report is visible to you, to the lab, and to the people who look after that pond (its owner, managers and workers). A lab's public listing shows its name, address, tests, prices and accreditation; its certificate and exact location are never shown publicly.

If you or someone else reports a Marketplace listing, an AI answer, a message, a technician or a lab as inappropriate, that report (and, for an AI answer, the question and answer text) is reviewed by our team to decide whether to act on it.

Cookies & analytics

The app itself (once you're signed in) does not use cookies — your session is kept in your browser's local storage, not a cookie. Our public marketing website (before you sign in) uses Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors find the site; it only loads after you accept the cookie banner shown on first visit, and never loads if you decline. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

Data retention

We keep your account and farm records for as long as your account is active, so historical logs remain available for tracking pond performance over time. You can request deletion at any time — see below.

Deleting your account and data

You can delete your account from within the app: Profile → Delete My Account. This removes your personal identifying information (name, email/phone) and permanently disables sign-in to that account. Farm records tied to a shared farm (ponds, logs) that other team members still rely on are anonymized rather than deleted outright, so a departing manager's history doesn't erase a farm owner's records. If you're unable to open the app, see our account deletion page for another way to request it.
