# Your Data Stays Yours, Securely Managed by GeoPard
Learn how GeoPard protects farm data, security, and ownership rights across the platform.
GeoPard is a farm data analytics software company.
We charge for software IP and processing costs. We do not resell your data.
In rare cases, we may **explicitly** ask customers to share data to improve GeoPard. For example, you may upload a yield file from an unsupported provider so we can transform and process it correctly.
GeoPard can provide recommendations without access to your own uploaded data, for example through multi-layer imagery and topography analytics. You can also upload your own datasets, including harvest, as-applied, soil sampling, and soil scanning data, to generate more specific insights. Your data stays under your control.
GeoPard also meets stringent AWS security standards. The platform has achieved an **overall AWS security score of 91%**, which reflects our commitment to strong data protection practices.
GeoPard scores **91%** in **AWS Foundational Security Best Practices v1.0.0**, **94%** in **CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v1.4.0**, and **100%** in **CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v1.2.0**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.geopard.tech/geopard-tutorials/policies/your-data-stays-yours-securely-managed-by-geopard.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
