Privacy Policy

GDPR & CSDDD Data Controller Notice

Under Article 5(4) of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (Directive (EU) 2024/1760), a multi-year (minimum 5-year) audit trail of field labour transactions must be retained. Brand/buyer views display a tokenized identifier in place of the raw National ID. This masking is enforced server-side: the raw National ID and phone number are withheld before the response ever reaches a non-privileged session, satisfying GDPR Data Minimization (Article 5(1)(c)) for that view. Compliance Auditors are granted full access to unmasked records under lawful basis Article 6(1)(c) (compliance with a legal obligation), verified through a real, server-side authenticated login. The role selector is not just a client-side display toggle; switching to Compliance Auditor requires a password checked against the server before any unmasked data is returned. This is currently one shared password for the Auditor role, not individual per-user accounts. Real per-user accounts (with distinguishable per-person audit trails) are a planned future step, not yet built.
