We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf (for example, hosting, email, or analytics providers) under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection terms, and with regulators, courts or authorities where required by law. Any operator we appoint is required to process personal information only as instructed and to keep it secure.
Some of our service providers may store or process information outside South Africa. Where personal information is transferred across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in a manner consistent with POPIA.
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.
We maintain reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, and misuse. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we work to protect your information and to keep our safeguards under review.
