2. Privacy Policy
2.1. This Privacy Policy is applicable when you access and use the Services and the Content (all as defined in the Terms of Service) and all related websites, tools, applications, data, software, and any services provided by us, all of which have been designed to give you control over the information you share with us and publish more generally. It is important that, when you engage with and/or use these tools, you disclose and share only such information that you want to share.
2.2. This Privacy Policy sets out how we deal with your personal information, as defined in privacy laws (the model for our Privacy Policy is the Protection of Personal Information Act Number 4 of 2013 (‘POPI’) and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (‘GDPR’), a regulation of European law on data protection and privacy for individuals).
2.3. Your rights under these privacy laws include:
2.3.1. Right of Access
This includes your right to access the Personal Information we gather about you and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security, and processing of that information.
2.3.2. Right to Correction
This is your right to request correction of your Personal Information.
2.3.3. Right to Erasure
This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations, that your Personal Information be erased (“de–identified”) from our possession (also known as the “Right to be forgotten”). Our fulfilment of a request to delete your information might affect your use of the Services or prevent you from using the Services and may result in the closure of your account.
2.3.4. Right to Complain
You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your Personal Information with the appropriate supervisory authority under POPI and the GDPR.
2.3.5. Right to Restrict Processing
This is your right to request restrictions on how and why your Personal Information is used or processed.
2.3.6. Right to Object
This is your right, in certain situations, to object to how or why your Personal Information is processed.
2.3.7. Right to Portability
This is your right to receive the Personal Information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
2.3.8. Right to not be subject to Automated Decision–making
2.3.8.1. This is your right to object to (and prevent) any decision that could have a legal or similarly significant effect on you from being made solely under an automated process. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for the performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable law, or is based on your explicit consent.
2.3.8.2. Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and directly updating your account information. If you have questions about exercising these rights or need assistance, please contact us at [email protected]
2.3.8.3. If you are at all concerned that this Privacy Policy is in any way incompatible with privacy laws in your country or the country from which you access the Services, you must notify us in writing by email sent to [email protected], providing sufficient detail to enable us to assess and rectify (if necessary), the suspected incompatibility.
