We may collect information that you provide directly, including your name, email address, telephone number, organisation, enquiry details and any information you include in a form or message. We may also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and approximate usage times.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide requested information, manage business and investment communications, improve our website and services, maintain website security, comply with legal obligations, and protect our legitimate business interests.
4. Legal basis
We process personal information where you have consented, where it is necessary to perform or take steps toward an agreement with you, where the law requires it, or where we have a legitimate interest that does not override your privacy rights.
5. Sharing information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help operate our website, communications or information technology systems, with professional advisers, regulators or law-enforcement authorities where required, or with another party where you have given permission or the law allows it.

Some service providers may process information outside South Africa. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the information receives protection substantially similar to that required under applicable South African data-protection law.
7. Retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements, or to resolve disputes. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to confirm whether we hold your personal information, request access to it, correct or update inaccurate information, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or request deletion where we no longer have a lawful reason to retain it. You may also complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.
