Privacy Policy
- Audience
This policy applies to all visitors to our website and customers who have ordered the services we provide (“you” and “your”). - Purpose of this policy
We respect your privacy and take the protection of personal information very seriously. The purpose of this policy is to describe the way we collect, store, use, and protect information that can be associated with a specific natural or juristic person and can be used to identify that person (“personal information”). Personal information:
2.1 includes
• certain information collected on activation (see below); and
• optional information that you provide to us voluntarily (see below).
2.2 excludes
• information that has been made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific person;
• permanently de-identified information that does not relate or cannot be traced back to you specifically; and
• non-personal statistical information collected and compiled by us and information that you have provided voluntarily in an open, public environment or forum including any blog, chat room, community, classifieds or discussion board. Because the information has been disclosed in a public forum, it is no longer confidential and does not constitute personal information subject to protection under this policy. - Acceptance of terms
3.1 Acceptance required. You must accept all the terms of this policy when you use our website or order any of our services. If you do not agree with anything in this policy, then you may not use our website or order, register for, or use any of our services.
3.2 Legal capacity. You may not access our website or order our services if you are younger than 18 years old or do not have legal capacity to conclude legally binding contracts.
3.3 Deemed acceptance. By accepting this policy, you are deemed to have read, understood, accepted, and agreed to be bound by all its terms. - Changes
We may change the terms of this policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes by placing a notice in a prominent place on the website or by email. If you do not agree with the change you must stop using the website. If you continue to use the website following notification of a change to the terms, the changed terms will apply to you and you will be deemed to have accepted such terms. - Collection
5.1 On activation. Once an administrator activates you on our website, you will no longer be anonymous to us as they will have provided us with your personal information on your behalf. This personal information will include:
• your name and surname;
• your postal address, email address, telephone number, and postal code;
• your username and password.

We automatically receive and record Internet usage information on our server logs from your browser, such as your Internet Protocol address (“IP address”), browsing habits, click patterns, version of software installed, system type, screen resolutions, colour capabilities, plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords, JavaScript enablement, the content and pages that you access on the website, and the dates and times that you visit the website, paths taken, and time spent on sites and pages within the website (“usage information”). Please note that other websites visited before entering our website might place personal information within your URL during a visit to it, and we have no control over such websites. Accordingly, a subsequent website that collects URL information may log some personal information.
5.5 Third party cookies. Please note that some of our business partners (e.g. advertisers) use their own cookies or widgets on our website. We have no access to or control over them. Information collected by any such cookie or widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it, and not by us.
5.6 Web beacons. Our website may contain electronic image requests (called a “single-pixel gif” or “web beacon” request) that allow us to count page views and to access cookies. Any electronic image viewed as part of a web page (including an ad banner) can act as a web beacon. Our web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor or share any of your personal information. We merely use them to compile anonymous information about our website.
5.7 Recording calls. We will monitor and record telephone calls that you make to our call centre, unless you specifically request us not to.
5.8 Purpose for collection. We may use any service information and optional information that you provide to us for the purposes that you indicated when you agreed to provide it to us. We may use your usage information for the purposes described above and to:
• remember your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you access the website;
• monitor website usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages accessed; and
• track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities in connection with your usage of the website. - Consent to collection

Advertisers receive a record of the total number of impressions and clicks for each advert. They do not receive any personal information. If you click on an advert, we may send a referring URL to the advertiser’s website identifying that a customer is visiting from the website.

• an affiliate, in which case we will seek to require the affiliates to honour this privacy policy;
• our service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations, including fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, technology services (our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit);
• credit bureaus to report account information, as permitted by law; and
• banking partners as required by credit card association rules for inclusion on their list of terminated merchants (in the event that you utilise the services to receive payments and you meet their criteria).

If you are concerned about your personal information migrating to a new owner, you may request us to delete your personal information. - Security of personal information
Our hosting company will host our website in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced security measures to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. We authorise access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfil their job responsibilities. - Accurate and up to date
We will try to keep the personal information we collect as accurate, complete and up to date as is necessary for the purposes explicitly defined in this policy.

You are able to review or update any personal information that we hold on you by accessing your account online, by emailing us, or by phoning us. Please note that in order to better protect you and safeguard your personal information, we take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your account or making any corrections to your personal information. - Retention of personal information

We may transmit or transfer personal information outside South Africa to a foreign country. Personal information may be stored on servers located outside South Africa in a foreign country whose laws protecting personal information may not be as stringent as the laws in South Africa. You consent to us processing your personal information in a foreign country whose laws regarding processing of personal information may be less stringent. - Updating or removing
You may choose to correct or update the personal information you have submitted to us, by clicking the relevant menu in any of the pages on our website. - Limitation

However, we may charge you an early termination fee.

- the specification and quantity of goods;
required together with any other requirements or information that is relevant to the provision of additional goods or services and stipulating a reasonable timeframe within which we may submit a proposal to you.
4.2 Submission of proposal. We may submit a proposal to you. It may be in the form of an order.

4.4 Capacity. You represent and warrant that you (and any person who places an order):

- possess the legal right, full power, and authority to enter into the agreement;

If you are younger than 18 years of age, you warrant that you have the consent of your legal guardian to enter into the agreement or that you have obtained legal status in another manner.
