- All Data provided by you will remain your property, but all Data generated or collected by or for PepsiCo will be and is PepsiCo’s Data.
- The Data collected will be used to identify key inputs for oat production and understand the outputs which are of greatest interest and value to optimize yield and quality. Specifically, PepsiCo will use the Data to create crop benchmarks and insights related to oat growth and development, yield and quality predictions, data summaries and other outputs (“Results”).
- The Results will be owned by and be confidential to PepsiCo. As a participant you will have access to a dashboard which displays crop benchmarks comparing data from your field with anonymized data from other fields in the Project, as well as in-season field assessments which may include weather data and remote sensing imagery. We will also share relevant crop insights that support crop management.
- The crop benchmarks will use aggregated Data from all fields in the Project, but we undertake not to make any Data or Results identifiable to your specific fields available to other parties without your permission. We will only use anonymized or aggregated Results to promote or describe the function of the Quaker Opti-Oat Project externally.
Terms & Conditions
Please review the following and check the box below prior to registering.
The Opti-Oat Project (“Project”) is funded and led by PepsiCo. Working with our research partners we aim to develop insights and tools to provide relevant information to optimize oat yield and quality. The Project will require the collection of information from designated oat crops including, e.g., field location, sowing date, soil physical and nutrient data, crop management inputs, crop growth and development metrics, grain samples, harvest date, combine yield data, weather data and spectral images captured via satellite and/or unmanned aerial vehicles (collectively, “Data”). In addition, certain personal data will be collected from you, which may include your name and contact information, e.g., email, telephone number, address (“Personal Data”). Your Personal Data will be stored in a secure database that can only be accessed by authorized personnel working on the Project and will be used solely for the purpose of communicating with you regarding the Project. Your Personal Data will not be provided to any third party without your prior written consent. Upon completion of the Project, your Personal Data will be maintained in the secure database for two years. For more information please see PepsiCo Data Privacy To avoid the possibility of misunderstandings, the following statements clarify ownership of Data and associated intellectual property and how the output will be used.
Please note that this is a research project and as such PepsiCo or its research partners cannot guarantee the accuracy of the Results provided, and the Results will be provided to you “AS IS”.
We wish to thank you for your consideration and future support which are central to the success of the Project and improving oat yield and quality for Quaker.
