It is important that you read, understand and accept our terms and this privacy policy if you would like to use our website.
- Personal Information is any information that identifies you or makes you capable of being identified and includes a wide range of information such as your name, identification number, gender, email address, religion, biometric information, location data, internet protocol (IP) address and cookies. Personal information includes very sensitive information, which you probably want to keep private.
- South Africa’s Constitution provides that everyone has the right to privacy. This includes a right to protection against the unlawful collection, retention, dissemination and use of Personal Information.
- We only collect and process your Personal Information if you have given us your consent. Because of the sensitivity of some Personal Information, we ensure that the way we process your Personal Information complies fully with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (“POPIA”).

- You will see that some of the words listed in this privacy policy are in italics. Those words are defined in POPIA and those definitions apply to this privacy policy. For example, under POPIA, you are defined as a data subject.
- Our privacy policy terms may change from time to time. When we change them, the changes will be made on our website. Please ensure that you visit our website and regularly read this privacy policy. Although we do not promise to do so, if we are able to do so, we may give you notice of any changes we think are important.
