Jiva Agriculture Pte Ltd, its representative subsidiaries, affiliates, associated companies and jointly controlled entities (collectively “Jiva,” “we,” “us,” “our”) understand the importance of privacy to you. This Policy summarises what Personal Information we may collect, how we may use this information, and other important topics relating to your privacy and data protection.
It is Jiva’s policy to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This commitment reflects the value we place on earning and keeping the trust of our customers, business partners and others who share their Personal Information with us.
This Policy applies to all websites and mobile applications (“Apps”) operated by or on behalf of Jiva. It also applies to Personal Information Jiva may otherwise collect: (i) through our products and services; (ii) when you interact with us by means other than an Jiva website or app, for example, in person, by telephone, or at a trade show or training; and (iii) from our customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners (collectively “Business Partners”).
However, different Jiva websites, Apps, products, and services have different purposes and features. If additional or different disclosures are required for a specific Jiva website, app, product, or service, then we provide those disclosures (“Specific Privacy Statements”) separately on, or with, the relevant website, app, product, or service. Each such specific privacy disclosure, policy, or statement supplements and amends this Policy.

Accordingly, we use farmer and supplier Personal Information to enhance traceability and strengthen our partnerships with our farmers, suppliers, and buyers while improving our traceability-focused websites and Apps, and empowering our Business Partners and affiliates to make informed and responsible sourcing decisions.

We use the information you submit solely for the purposes of considering applications and recruitment (and for purposes of our administration or management if you commence work for us), and not to market to you.

This includes: (i) informing you of Jiva products, services, events and promotional activities that you requested or may be of interest to you; (ii) providing information about relevant Jiva products, services, and transactions, including, for example, pricing information, technical data, invoice, shipping, or production information, warranty or recall information, or information about product or service improvements; (iii) responding to questions or inquiries that you make, including customer service requests; and (iv) inviting you to participate in, or informing you of the results of, customer satisfaction or market research surveys.

Manage office visitors. If you visit an Jiva office, we may collect Personal Information about you, including, but not limited to, your title, name, address, phone number, email address, business or company affiliation, government identification (driver’s license, passport), and other details you provide. We process this information for a variety of purposes, including to generally manage your visit, to verify your identity, to provide access to our facilities and systems, for security and other safety purposes, to communicate with you regarding your visit, to provide information we believe may be of interest to you, including regarding our services, for purposes disclosed at the time a visitor provides Personal Information or otherwise with consent.
Process with your consent. We also use your Personal Information for other uses consistent with the context in which the information was collected or with your consent. Where you provide us with the Personal Data of any other individual, including any employee that is involved in farming operations or a family member, you confirm that you have notified the individual of the purposes to which you are providing Jiva with that third party's Personal Data and you have obtained the person's consent or that you are legally authorised to consent on their behalf to providing Jiva with that person's Personal Data.
In certain jurisdictions, consent is the primary ground on which Personal Data may be processed by an organisation. In those jurisdictions, processing Personal Data in connection with the performance of a contract or legitimate purposes is not recognised as an accepted ground on which Personal Data may be processed. Accordingly, if you are a resident in such a jurisdiction, you agree that consent will be the ground on which Jiva will process your Personal Data instead of performance of a contract or legitimate purposes.
Note that we can anonymise or aggregate any of the information we collect and use it for any purpose, including for research and product-development purposes. Such information will not identify you individually.
When We Share Your Personal Information
We will not disclose your Personal Information except under a lawful and measured basis as follows:

Your Personal Information may be transferred from the country (“Origin Country”) in which you are present while using our services to another country.
Your Personal Information may also be stored or processed outside of your Origin Country by our personnel who work for us or in which we engage service providers in other countries.
In such a case, we will comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to your Personal Data, including using appropriate safeguards in place to ensure an adequate level of protection of the Personal Data. Regardless, in all events, we shall apply the provisions of this Privacy Statement to your Personal Information wherever it is located.
Security of Your Personal Information
Jiva maintains reasonable safeguards to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your Personal Information. Although we use security measures to help protect your Personal Information against unauthorised disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the internet and will not be responsible for breaches of security beyond our reasonable control.

If your request is approved, we will remove your Personal Data from our systems and cease to process your Personal Information, unless we are permitted to or required by applicable law to do otherwise.

You should exercise caution and review the privacy statements applicable to the third party websites and services you use. The use of online tracking mechanisms by those third party websites and services is subject to those third parties' own privacy policies, and not this Privacy Statement.

In particular, you agree and consent to us collecting, using, sharing, disclosing, storing, transferring, or otherwise processing your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
You may withdraw your consent to any or all collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information at any time by giving us reasonable notice in writing using the contact details stated below.

Verification
In connection with identity verification for the purposes of this Privacy Statement, your Personal Information data in the form of demographic and/or biometric data will be checked for suitability, by our partners who are providing those services at the material time, with data recorded in the system of government agencies that are entitled to issue such identities. If your Personal Information data is verified for its suitability, our partner may where applicable, issue an electronic certificate as proof that your Personal Information data has been verified and in accordance with the data recorded in the system of the agency that has the right to issue the identity. Therefore, you warrant the accuracy of the Personal Information data you provide and agree to the processing of your Personal Information data for the purpose of issuing electronic certificates and other services attached to electronic certificates, if so applicable
