Among the types of personal data this website collects, by itself or through third parties, are cookies, usage data, geographic position, first name, company name, email address, and city. Full details on each type are provided in the relevant sections below or in explanations shown before the data is collected.
Personal data may be provided freely by the user, or, in the case of usage data, collected automatically while using this website. Unless stated otherwise, all data we request is required, and failing to provide it may make it impossible for us to deliver our services. Where we state that some data is optional, you are free not to share it without consequence to the availability or function of the service.
If you are unsure which personal data is required, please contact us. Any use of cookies or other tracking tools by this website, or by the owners of third-party services we use, serves to provide the service you requested, in addition to the purposes described in this document and in our cookie policy.
You are responsible for any third-party personal data you obtain, publish, or share through this website, and you confirm that you have the third party’s consent to provide that data to us.
We take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of your data. Processing is carried out using computers and IT tools, following organisational procedures tied strictly to the purposes stated. In addition to us, the data may in some cases be accessible to people involved in running this website (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or to external parties (such as technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, and communications agencies) appointed, where needed, as data processors. You may request the current list of these parties at any time.
Data is processed at our operating offices and at any other place where the parties involved in the processing are located. Depending on your location, data transfers may involve moving your data to a country other than your own. You are entitled to learn about the legal basis for transferring data to a country outside South Africa, or to an international organisation, and about the security measures we take to safeguard it. If such a transfer takes place, you can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this document or by contacting us.
We may process personal data relating to you if one of the following applies:
We are happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies, and in particular whether providing personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Personal data is processed and stored for as long as the purpose it was collected for requires. Therefore:
We may keep personal data for longer where you have given consent, as long as that consent is not withdrawn, or where we are legally obliged to. Once the retention period expires, the data is deleted, after which the rights to access, erasure, rectification, and data portability can no longer be exercised.
We collect your data to provide our services and for the following purposes: analytics, location-based interactions, contacting you, and registration and authentication. Further detail on each purpose and the data used for it is set out below.
These services let us monitor and analyse web traffic and keep track of user behaviour. We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc.
