We are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPI Act). This Act is South Africa's equivalent of the EU GDPR and aims to protect the personal data of all individuals by regulating the processing of personal information.
Under the POPI Act, we have a legal duty to protect any information we collect from you. We use appropriate technologies and procedures to safeguard your data, and we adhere to strict security standards to prevent any unauthorised access or use.
The types of personal information that we may collect about you include your name, email address, telephone number, and any other information that you voluntarily provide to us.
We use your personal information to provide you with services, support, and a more personalised experience. We may also use your information for compliance with our legal obligations, policies, and procedures.
The POPI Act gives you rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. You have the right to request access to your personal information, to ask us to correct any inaccuracies, to object to or request the restriction of processing, and to file a complaint to the Information Regulator if you believe we have used your personal information unlawfully.
