Cross Border Transfer

To support ongoing business delivery, personal information we hold about you may require an overseas transfer, as some of the technology solutions we use are hosted outside of South Africa.

How we secure Personal Information

We endeavour to protect the security, availability and confidentiality of personal information

by implementing and maintaining reasonable technical and organisational controls. We have procedures in place to prevent unauthorised access to and misuse of personal data. We use appropriate business systems and procedures to protect and safeguard information, including personal data. We also use security procedures and technical and physical restrictions for accessing and using personal data. Only authorised personnel are permitted to access personal data in the course of their work. Although we take reasonable steps to protect the personally identifiable information that you provide, no system is 100% secure or error-free. Therefore, we do not, and cannot, guarantee the security or accuracy of the information we gather. While we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any Personal Information you

provide us, we will continue to maintain and improve these security measures over time

in line with legal and technological developments.

 

How We treat personal data that belongs to children

Our services aren’t intended for children under 18 years old, and we’ll never collect their data unless it’s provided by (and with the consent of) a parent or guardian. If we become aware that we’ve processed the information of a child under 18 years old without the valid consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete it.

In certain situations, you can ask us to erase, block or restrict the personal data we hold about you, or object to particular ways in which we are using your personal data. In certain situations, you can also ask us to send the personal data you have given us to a third party.

 

Where we are using your personal data on the basis of your consent, you are entitled to withdraw that consent at any time, subject to applicable law. Where we process your personal data based on legitimate interest or public interest, you also have the right to object at any time, subject to applicable law.

 

We rely on you to make sure that your personal information is complete, accurate and current. Please do let us know about any changes to, or inaccuracies in, your personal information as soon as possible.
