2. Information we may collect from you

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Information that you provide to us in order for us to render a product or service to you as a member of our organization, or as a non-member; and
• Correspondence between us.

3. Personal information held by or disclosed by you to a third party

Because we are not responsible for any representations or information, or warranties or content provided by third parties, even where such third parties are our members, we do not exercise control over such third parties’ privacy policies. As a result, you should refer to the privacy policy of any such third party to establish how such third party protects your privacy.

4. Where we store our personal data

The data which we collect from you is transferred to, and stored at, a destination within the Republic of South Africa (“RSA”) or it might be stored on third party servers which is located outside of the Republic of South Africa. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the RSA who works for us or for one of our suppliers. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. When we use storage outside of the RSA, it is data centres which are GDPR compliant. 

The data we collect from you and that we transfer to a third party outside of the RSA shall only be to a third party who is subject to a law, binding corporate rules (as defined in POPI) or binding agreement (as defined in POPI) which provides an adequate level of protection that:

• Is in accordance with this policy;
• includes provisions that are substantially similar to what is contained in this privacy policy to the further transfer of your data.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and/or on our chosen cloud storage solutions.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

• To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us; and
• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
