We share information from or about you with these third-party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests.

Additionally, if you contact a business through or in connection with your use of the Service, we may share with the business, information about your contact that the business would have received had you contacted them directly.

    E. Links: The Services may link to third-party-controlled websites, like a business’ URL, however, we do not share your personal information with them, and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

    F. Third-Party Integrations: If you sign up for, or log into the Services using a third-party service or link your Services account with your account with a third-party service, we may receive information about you from such third-party service. If you post content to a third-party service through the Services, that third-party service will also receive that content, which will be visible to anyone who has access to it through that third-party service. Some of our web pages utilise framing techniques to serve content to you from third parties while preserving the look and feel of the Services.

    4. Data retention

    To the extent required by applicable law, we keep the personal information you provide for the duration of our relationship, plus a reasonable time thereafter to comply with applicable laws.

    5. Security

    We use various safeguards to protect personal information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

    6. More Information for Consumers

    The Services are intended for South African audiences and are not targeted at other countries.

    If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will typically be to operate our Services, communicate with you in relation to our Services, or for our other legitimate commercial interests, for instance, when responding to your queries, to analyse and improve our platform, engage in marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing fraud.

    Our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above will depend on the specific information concerned and the context in which we collect it. We, however, will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for instance, to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services).

    Subject to applicable law, you may have a number of rights regarding the processing of your personal data, including the right to access your personal data, and the right to request that we correct, update or delete your personal data. You can object to the processing of your personal information and/ or ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information. Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

    The personal information we obtain from or about you may be transferred, processed, and stored outside of South Africa for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including in the EEA or USA.
