The aim of the software is to reduce the use of pesticides in agriculture without reducing agricultural yield. This provides a better economy for the farmer, less pesticides in the environment and less exposure to pesticides for the consumers. Since many of the algorithms are weather based, it also helps adaptation of agricultural practices in a changing climate.

PII data is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
VIPS uses the https protocol to ensure safe communication between the user and the system. VIPS requires authentication to edit data. Users' personal data is only available to them. Geolocation data of field pest observations can be hidden or obfuscated by the user. Users in the admin system are assigned only the relevant roles for them. Credentials are encrypted on the server. All new functionality is tested using unit tests and subsequently functionality tested by VIPS staff before it's deployed to production. Access to PII requires valid login. Servers are in-house, safe from e.g. the US Patriot Act.
