Data Sharing and Third Parties
We work with trusted partners to deliver our services effectively, but we maintain strict controls over how your data is shared and used. Here's when and how we share information:
Service Providers: We partner with reputable companies for payment processing, email delivery, webinar hosting, and analytics. These partners only access information necessary to perform their specific services and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and the safety of our users. This includes cooperating with law enforcement when legally obligated.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity, but only under the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.
We never share your personal information with marketers, data brokers, or companies outside our essential service providers without your explicit consent.
Your Privacy Rights
You have significant control over your personal information. We respect your privacy rights and make it easy to exercise them:

Data Security and Protection
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security approach includes both technical and organizational safeguards:
Technical Security: We use industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, secure servers with regular security updates, and multi-factor authentication for administrative access. All payment processing is handled through PCI-compliant providers.
Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to personal information, and access is limited to what's necessary for their job functions. We maintain logs of all data access and regularly review permissions.
Regular Monitoring: We continuously monitor our systems for security vulnerabilities and suspicious activity. Our security protocols are reviewed and updated regularly to address emerging threats.
While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely secure. We recommend using strong passwords, logging out after use, and reporting any suspicious activity immediately.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Our retention periods vary based on the type of information and its purpose:
- Account Information: Retained while your account is active and for 2 years after account closure for customer service purposes.
- Usage Data: Anonymized and aggregated after 18 months for analytical purposes only.
- Financial Records: Transaction data retained for 7 years as required by South African financial regulations.
- Marketing Communications: Removed immediately upon unsubscribe request.
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. You can request earlier deletion of your data, though some information may be retained for legal compliance or legitimate business purposes.
International Data Transfers
As a South African company, we primarily store and process data within South Africa. However, some of our service providers may process data internationally. When we transfer data outside South Africa, we ensure adequate protection through:
Contractual agreements that require international partners to maintain the same privacy standards as South African law. We only work with providers in countries with adequate data protection laws or those who have implemented appropriate safeguards.
All international transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and include provisions for data subject rights, breach notification, and audit requirements.
