INFORMATION WE OBTAIN BY AUTOMATED MEANS

When you visit our Sites or open our e-mails, we may collect certain information by automated means (such as cookies, web server logs, web beacons, and JavaScript). The information we collect in this manner includes your IP address, network location, browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, referring URLs, information on actions taken on our Sites, and dates and times of website visits.


Cookies are files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely 

identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. Please see our Cookie Policy for information about how we use cookies and similar technology. We also may use these technologies in e-mails we send you to collect information, such as whether you opened or clicked links in our e-mails.


We may use third-party web analytics services on our Sites, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyse how visitors use the Sites. The information processed for this purpose (including your IP address and other information collected by automated means) may be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers. To learn about opting out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

In accordance with POPIA and, where applicable, the GDPR, we process your Personal Data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely upon include:

  • Public interest: where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.


Where we rely on legitimate interests as a basis for processing, we do so only where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override those legitimate interests.

CCTV operates in some of our buildings for security and safety purposes in accordance with applicable data protection law. We will only process your Personal Data as necessary to pursue the purposes described above.

AUTOMATION AND DECISION-MAKING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

We may use automated processing and, in limited circumstances, artificial intelligence ("AI") tools and algorithms to assist in the analysis of data and the delivery of our services. Where any automated processing produces decisions that significantly affect you, we will:


  • Inform you that such automated decision-making is taking place;
  • Explain the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences for you;
  • Provide you with the right to request human review of the decision; and
  • Refrain from using your sensitive personal information for automated profiling without your explicit consent.


We do not use automated decision-making in a way that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals without appropriate human oversight. If you have questions about how automated tools are used in relation to your data, please contact us as set out in Section 12.

ONLINE TRACKING AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING

We and third parties acting on our behalf (such as LinkedIn) may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent for the processing of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.


If you receive direct marketing communications from us, you may opt out by clicking the unsubscribe link in the relevant communication or by e-mailing info@goneke.com.

INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE TO OTHERS

We do not disclose Personal Data we obtain about you, except as described in this Privacy Notice. We may share your Personal Data with our affiliates and subsidiaries. Depending on the nature of our relationship with you, we also share Personal Data with:

  • Financial and transaction counterparties;
  • Philanthropic, charitable, and advocacy partners;
  • Our professional advisors (including auditors, legal counsel, and accountants); and

We do not authorise these persons to use or disclose the information except as necessary for the purposes for which it is provided or to comply with legal requirements.


We also may disclose information about you: (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process; (ii) to law enforcement authorities, regulators, and/or other government entities based on a lawful disclosure request; or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity. We reserve the right to transfer Personal Data in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.


In addition, we may share anonymous or aggregated information with third parties, such as service providers, in order to facilitate our business operations.

DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION

In accordance with POPIA and applicable data protection laws, in the event that we become aware of a security compromise involving your Personal Data, we will:


  • Notify the South African Information Regulator as soon as we are reasonably certain that a compromise has occurred, without undue delay;
  • Notify affected data subjects in a manner that allows them to take protective measures, unless the Information Regulator agrees that notification is not required; and
  • Document all security compromises, including those that do not result in notification, for accountability and audit purposes.


Our incident response plan is reviewed annually and tested to ensure it remains effective. If you suspect that your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact us immediately at info@goneke.com.

DATA TRANSFERS

We may transfer the Personal Data we collect about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. Where you are based in South Africa, the UK, the EU, or another country which imposes data transfer restrictions, this includes transfers outside of those territories.


Where we transfer Personal Data outside of the relevant territory, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law, including:

  • Data transfer agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authority;
  • Binding corporate rules where applicable; or
  • Any other mechanism recognised as providing an adequate level of protection under applicable law.

RETENTION AND DELETION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We intend to keep your Personal Data accurate and up to date. We will delete the information that we hold about you when we no longer need it. We retain your Personal Data for as long as it is required for our legitimate purposes, to perform our contractual obligations, or where longer, such longer period as is required or permitted by law or regulatory obligations which apply to us.


In all cases, we apply the following principles to retention:


  • Data is retained no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected (POPIA’s storage limitation principle);
  • Retention schedules are documented and reviewed annually; and
  • Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.


Note that we may retain some limited information about you so that we can maintain a continuous relationship with you if and when we are in contact with you again in future.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

To the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction, you have the following rights in connection with your Personal Data:


  • Right of access: You may request that we confirm whether we hold Personal Data about you and, if so, provide you with a copy of that information.

  • Right to opt out of automated decision-making: Where we use automated processing that produces significant effects on you, you have the right to request human review.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent as the basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.


To submit a request to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set out in Section 12. We will respond to requests within the timeframes required by applicable law. We review and verify requests to protect your Personal Data and will action data protection requests fairly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

  • South Africa: The Information Regulator (www.justice.gov.za/inforeg);
  • European Union: Your local data protection authority; or
  • United Kingdom: The Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
