Privacy Policy & Data Rights

Effective Date: June 18, 2026

Desouza Farms LLP respects your privacy rights. For users accessing our services from the European Union (EU), we comply with GDPR frameworks, enabling data portability, rectification, and right-to-erase rights. We collect business contact names, WhatsApp direct numbers, and discharge port data solely to compile container sourcing quotes. No tracking coordinates are shared.

1. Data Collection & Transparency

In the course of facilitating international trade and partnership applications, we collect "Personally Identifiable Information" (PII). This includes:

  • Contact Data: Name, email address, and WhatsApp / phone number.
  • Professional Data: Corporate name, corporate position, and country of operation.
  • User Context: Target product interests, planned sourcing volumes, and website interaction patterns.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data primarily to fulfill Contractual Obligations (responding directly to your active inquiries, structuring quotes, and processing container shipments) and for Legitimate Interests (improving our wholesale product range and optimizing supply allocations based on shifting global demand).

3. Strategic Data Utilization

Your information is utilized to generate customized export quotations and cross-border logistics plans, verify global applicants for our Sales Partner Program, and communicate critical harvest or commodity updates via our corporate newsroom. Furthermore, we process data to ensure strict compliance with international anti-money laundering (AML) protocols and "Know Your Customer" (KYC) trade regulations.

4. Controlled Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your PII to outside parties for third-party marketing purposes. Information is shared strictly with trusted commercial partners essential to executing trade, including maritime logistics providers for freight bookings, Indian or international government clearing agencies (APEDA, FSSAI, Customs), and banking institutions for secure payment loop verification.

5. International Data Transfers

By accessing our services or submitting B2B inquiries from outside India, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to and processed in India. We apply the same high standards of data security and network governance regardless of geographic location, protecting your electronic records against unauthorized access or breaches.

6. Cookie Policy & Analytics

Our website utilizes technical cookies to enhance user experience and provide localized trade-flow analytics. This metadata allows our servers to optimize website layouts for different geographical corridors (e.g., automatically showing European product standards to EU-based procurement entities). You may choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, though it may limit specific site functionalities.

7. Data Security & Integrity

We implement rigorous network security infrastructure, including SSL encryption and restricted database management tokens. While no method of digital transmission over the internet or cloud storage environment is 100% secure, we follow universally accepted food industry corporate standards to protect your commercial communication datasets at the highest level.

8. Regional Privacy Compliance

We explicitly recognize and honor the specific statutory data rights belonging to our global partners:

  • European Union (GDPR): Importers retain the absolute right to data portability, the right to object to processing models, and the direct right to lodge formal compliance complaints.
  • California, USA (CCPA): We do not sell data. California residents possess the legal right to request complete data access, corporate disclosure, and opt-out preferences.
  • Global Frameworks: Our internal systems are fully aligned with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (India), LGPD (Brazil), and other emerging cross-border compliance rules.
