We do not currently use cookies, analytics tools, or other automated tracking technologies on this Website. If this changes in future — for example, if we add website analytics — we will update this Policy and, where required by law, request your consent beforehand.
We collect personal information directly from you, only when you voluntarily complete and submit the Contact Us form on the Website. We do not collect personal information from any other source.

You may ask us to delete your information at any time — see Section 11 below.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure, including relying on reputable third-party service providers who maintain appropriate security standards. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We will not use your personal information to send you direct marketing communications unless you have given us your consent, in line with Section 69 of POPIA.
