Data Protection Policy

Effective Date: January 24th, 2024

At Belha Mai Farmers Producer Company Limited, we take the security and privacy of our farmers' data seriously. This Data Protection Policy outlines the technical and organizational measures implemented within the Samriddhi Connect application to keep your information secure.

1. Secure Access & Authentication

To prevent unauthorized access to farmer profiles and FPO management hubs, Samriddhi Connect utilizes a strict password-less authentication system. All logins require a One-Time Password (OTP) sent directly to the registered mobile number of the authorized user. No user can access the platform without verifying their identity via their personal device.

2. Data Encryption

All sensitive data transmitted between your mobile device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (such as TLS/SSL). This ensures that your agricultural requests, personal details, and community interactions cannot be intercepted by malicious third parties.

3. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Data within the Samriddhi Connect ecosystem is siloed based on user roles. Individual farmers can only access their own profiles and requests. Only authorized FPO managers and administrative staff hold the necessary clearance to view aggregate member data, ensuring confidentiality within the community.

4. Third-Party Vendor Data Handling

When utilizing the Market Hub for procurement (seeds, fertilizers, machinery), only the strictly necessary information required to fulfill your order is shared with verified third-party vendors. We mandate that all partner vendors adhere to strict data confidentiality agreements and prohibit the use of your data for unauthorized marketing.

5. Incident Response

In the unlikely event of a data breach, Belha Mai FPC has an incident response plan in place. We are committed to notifying affected members and relevant authorities promptly, taking immediate action to secure the platform and mitigate any potential impact.
