Compliance Status

0/7

Map all data flows involving farmer personal data (name, land, finance, produce). Obtain explicit, informed consent for collecting and processing farmer data, especially for sharing with third parties. Implement strong security measures for sensor data, drone footage, and financial transaction records. Establish clear data retention policies for all agricultural data linked to individuals. Ensure third-party agri-tech partners (e.g., for weather, soil analysis) are also DPDP compliant. Build mechanisms for farmers to access, correct, or delete their personal data easily. Anonymize or pseudonymize data whenever possible, especially for aggregated insights or research.

🎉 You're fully compliant!

Frequently asked questions

How do we get valid consent from farmers who cannot read or write?

You must provide the notice in the farmer's local language. You can use voice-based consent or video recordings, as long as the farmer understands exactly what they are agreeing to and you keep a record of it.

Can we share crop yield data with insurance companies without asking again?

No, unless the original consent form specifically listed insurance as a purpose for data sharing. You must notify the farmer and get permission before sending their specific yield numbers to third-party insurers.

Do we need to delete historical farmer data from past harvest seasons?

Yes, if the purpose for which you collected that data is complete. You cannot keep personal details for "just in case" scenarios once the specific transaction or harvest cycle has ended.
