This policy explains what personal information we collect on this website, why we collect it, and how we look after it. We handle personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, known as POPIA. We keep this in plain language on purpose, because a privacy policy you cannot read protects nobody.

What we never do
We never sell your information, and we never share it with anyone for their own marketing.
Who we share it with
We use trusted service providers to run our business, such as our hosting provider, our email tools and our form tool. They process information on our instructions and must protect it. Beyond that, we only share information when the law requires it.
Cookies

We keep your information only as long as we need it for the reasons above, or as long as the law requires. When we no longer need it, we delete it.
