In coordination with NpM, MFR conducted research on privacy risks in the use of geodata in digital financial services for agriculture. The research draws on MFR’s own experience in client data privacy, insight gained from case studies conducted (including interviews and review of documents) on FSPs which have integrated the use of geodata in their agriculture loan products, and desk research.
This report contains key issues identified regarding the collection, storage, use, and sharing of client geodata with a focus on best practices, challenges, as well as arising open questions.
