We will not use your information for direct marketing without your separate, explicit consent.

3 Voluntary Supply & Consequences

Providing your personal information through our contact form is voluntary. You are not legally required to do so.

If you choose not to supply your contact details, we will be unable to respond to your enquiry — this is the only consequence of non-disclosure.

4 Third-Party Processing & International Transfers

Your personal information may be processed by the following third parties in the course of operating this website:

Note on international transfers: The United States does not have a data protection adequacy finding equivalent to South Africa's POPIA. By submitting the contact form, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in the USA by Google solely for spam-prevention purposes.

5 Retention of Information

We retain contact form submissions only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, typically no longer than 12 months. Email correspondence may be retained longer if required for an ongoing business relationship.

IP addresses collected for spam prevention are not linked to personal records and are not retained beyond the session.

6 Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These measures include spam filtering, rate limiting, and encrypted transmission (HTTPS).

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.

These are necessary for the contact form to function and cannot be disabled without disabling the form itself.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
