    What happens to my grow data in Hypha?

    Hypha shows your grows only to you and to teammates on a shared farm, unless you or a teammate who can edit the grow turns on its public link. Demeter Mycolabs doesn't sell your data, and doesn't share your identifiable data with other companies for their own advertising or model training. Hypha is cloud-based, so Demeter Mycolabs can technically access backend data for things like debugging, support and improving the platform. You can download your records as CSV files at any time, from Profile & settings → Privacy & data → Export my data. The privacy policy and data processing terms spell out the rest.

    Do I have to subscribe to use Hypha?

    No. Hypha's Free plan is free forever and needs no credit card. Pro and Farm are optional paid plans. If you upgrade, you can cancel anytime: you drop back to Free, and your grow data stays. Paid plans are billed through Stripe, from your Hypha account on the web. See Hypha pricing for the limits on each plan.
