What personal information we collect

We collect only the personal information you voluntarily provide when submitting an enquiry through our website. This includes:

• First name and last name
• Email address

Enquiry form submissions are collected through Netlify, our website hosting provider, and stored securely for our access only.

Cookies and website analytics

We use two analytics services on this website to understand how visitors engage with our content:

• Netlify Analytics — a privacy-preserving, server-side analytics service that measures page views, referring sources, and geographic regions. It does not use cookies, does not track individual visitors, and does not process personal information beyond aggregated traffic patterns.
• Google Analytics 4 — used to understand how visitors navigate the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information including IP address (which Google truncates to enhance privacy), device and browser type, approximate location, pages visited, and referring sources. This data is processed by Google LLC and may be transferred to and stored on servers outside South Africa.

The lawful basis for Google Analytics processing is your consent, provided via our cookie consent banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies for this site or by using browser-level tools to block analytics scripts.

For information on how Google processes this data, see the Google Privacy Policy. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We do not use any other tracking technologies, advertising cookies, social media pixels, or third-party marketing tools.

Why we collect your information

We collect personal information for the following lawful purposes:

• To respond to your enquiry about our services
• To assess whether our services are appropriate for your operational context
• To communicate with you in connection with a potential or existing engagement

We process your personal information on the basis of your consent, given at the time of submission, and where necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.

How we use your information

Your personal information is used only for the purpose for which it was collected. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

Your information may be shared with members of our team directly involved in responding to your enquiry. All team members are bound by confidentiality obligations.

How long we keep your information

We retain personal information submitted through our enquiry form for a period of one year from the date of submission, unless a longer retention period is required by law or by the nature of an ongoing engagement.

Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured in our Google Analytics property, currently set to the minimum available period. Netlify Analytics data is retained for 30 days on a rolling basis.

After this period, personal information is securely deleted or anonymised.

How we protect your information

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include secure form submission, access controls, and regular security reviews of our systems.

Where we use third-party service providers to process personal information on our behalf, we ensure appropriate data processing agreements are in place.
