Cosmopolitan CCSA Farmers Information Management System (FIMS)
Last Updated: June 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to the Cosmopolitan CCSA Farmers Information Management System (FIMS). FIMS is an internal data collection and management application developed for registered enrollment agents. We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy and security of the data collected through our application.
This Privacy Policy details exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is safeguarded, and the rights of the individuals providing this data.
2. Information We Collect
Because our platform registers agricultural personnel and manages financial/grant distribution systems, we collect highly specific and sensitive information solely for operational functionality.
Personal Identity Data
- Full legal names
- Phone numbers and WhatsApp numbers
- National Identity Number (NIN)
- Dates of birth and gender
Financial Information
- Bank Verification Number (BVN)
- Bank account names and numbers
Location Data
- Precise GPS Coordinates of farms
- State, Local Government Area (LGA), and Ward
- Polling Unit mappings
Requires background location permissions for accurate polygon mapping.
Media & Documents
- Passport photographs (Agents & Farmers)
- Consent forms and signatures
Requires camera and media library permissions.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Identity Verification: To securely verify the identity of agents and registered farmers utilizing government databases (NIN/BVN).
- Geospatial Analysis: To accurately map farm boundaries and capture agronomic/geospatial data (e.g., Soil pH from external GIS providers).
- Financial Disbursement: To facilitate grants, subsidies, or payments to authorized beneficiaries.
- Operational Security: To track agent attendance and field performance.
4. Data Security & Storage
Enterprise-Grade Protection
All data collected is encrypted in transit using secure TLS/HTTPS protocols. Sensitive personal and financial identifiers (such as BVN and NIN) are securely stored in our managed databases. Our application uses offline caching and strict synchronization protocols to ensure no data is lost or intercepted during remote field operations.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
FIMS does not sell, trade, or rent any personal identification information to third parties. Data is solely shared with authorized internal administrators, affiliated payment gateways strictly for disbursement processing, and government regulatory bodies when legally mandated.
6. User Rights & Data Deletion
Farmers and Agents retain the right to request the viewing, correction, or deletion of their stored data. Because this platform is tied to official administrative and financial distributions, requests for complete deletion may result in removal from the FIMS subsidy/grant registry.
To request an export of your data or complete data deletion, please contact our support desk directly via the contact information below.
