Personal Data that we Process

Special and/or Sensitive Personal Data that we Process

Kariega Consulting does not process special or sensitive data.  Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years, unless they have permission from parents or guardians.  However, we cannot check if a visitor is older than 16 years of age.  We encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children, in order to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent.  If you are convinced that we have collected personal information about a minor without this permission, please contact us via stuart@kariegaconsulting.co.za for removal.

Kariega Consulting processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To contact you if necessary to carry out our services.
  • To deliver goods and services to you.
  • Handling your payment.
  • Inform you about changes to our services and products.
  • Kariega Consulting also processes personal data if we are legally obliged to do so, such as information that we need for our tax return.
View, Modify or Delete Data

You have the right to view, correct or delete your personal data. You also have the right to withdraw your consent to the data processing or to object to the processing of your personal data by Kariega Consulting and you have the right to data portability.  This means that you can submit a request to us to send the personal information we hold to you or another organisation mentioned by you in a computer file.

You can send a request for access, correction, deletion, data transfer of your personal data or request for cancellation of your consent or objection to the processing of your personal data to stuart@kariegaconsulting.co.za.

To ensure that the request for access has been made by you, we ask you to send a copy of your ID with the request.  Make your passport photo, MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip with numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number and Citizen Service Number black in this copy.  This is to protect your privacy.  We respond as quickly as possible, but within four weeks, at your request.

How we Protect Personal Data

Kariega Consulting takes the protection of your data seriously and takes appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised modification.  Our website uses encryption for data transfer by means of an SSL certificate.  If you feel that your data is not properly secured or there are indications of abuse, please contact stuart@kariegaconsulting.co.za.
