We are dedicated to respecting your privacy, complying with the rules set forward by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa, and global regulatory standards.

2. Scope of this Policy
This privacy policy explains how we collect, store, share, and protect information collected directly via website submission forms, automatically collected through cookie structures and navigation parameters, and compiled through external performance analytics platforms.
3. Personal Data Collected
- Voluntary details: First name, last name, email address, phone number, and any text inputs sent to us using our contact forms.
- Technical parameters: IP addresses, browser types, device identity indicators, operating systems, session duration, and interface click pathways.
- Preference elements: Cookie-based opt-in preferences for analytics and tailored advertising integrations.
4. Purpose of Processing and Lawful Basis
Under South Africa's POPIA and relevant processing norms, personal data must be handled according to specific legal reasons. The matrix below outlines how we utilize your personal data:
| Processing Target | Data Categories | Lawful Ground (POPIA / GDPR equivalent) |
|---|---|---|
| To evaluate incoming class applications and provide quotes | Name, email address, phone, preferences | Execution of a service proposal contract |
| To monitor portal security and trace malicious activity | IP, device parameters, system sessions | Our legitimate organization interest |
| To deliver tailored insights and program updates | Email address, marketing preferences | User Opt-In consent |
5. Cookies and Google Consent Mode v2
Our website utilizes a Google Consent Mode v2 structure. This advanced configuration makes sure that no non-essential analytics or advertising scripts execute before you explicitly choose to approve them inside our cookie banner. If you reject the optional cookies, we only run strictly necessary security parameters.
6. Sharing and Third-Party Transfer
We do not sell, rent, or distribute data to third parties. We share variables strictly with reliable infrastructure operators (e.g. database host systems or notification dispatch programs) who function under signed confidentiality frameworks. In some cases, variables may be disclosed under legal request from official government authorities.
7. Inter-Border Transfers
Because cloud infrastructure operates across multiple servers, your information may be safely transferred or stored outside of South Africa. In all cases, we use suitable cloud environments that employ standard contract clauses ensuring equivalent POPI compliance.
8. Storage Duration
We retain submitted details only for as long as required to deliver the educational services or resolve pending questions. Invoicing and contract records are preserved for up to seven years under South African compliance regulations.
9. Your Data Rights
As a data subject under South African POPIA, you possess specific legal rights:
- The right to seek clear information on whether we hold your variables.
- The right to request correcting or upgrading outdated contact elements.
- The right to request erasure of your data when there is no legal reason to store it.
- The right to oppose processing based entirely on legitimate interests.
- The right to withdraw a given consent at any time.
To exercise these rights, message us at [email protected]. If you believe your data has been handled incorrectly, you have the right to lodge a formal report with the South African Information Regulator (IRSA).
10. Safety and Protection
We deploy continuous physical and structural precautions (including SSL encryption layer certificates and restricted data portals) to safeguard compiled records from loss or unauthorized alteration.
11. Protection of Children
Our training programs are focused entirely on professional developers and working staff. We do not intentionally compile information from individuals under the age of 18 without parental or legal guardian consent.
12. External Website Links
Our pages may occasionally direct you to external informational sites. We do not assume accountability for the separate terms or privacy measures maintained by those entities.
13. Material Updates
We plan to modify this layout as privacy laws change. We encourage you to browse this page periodically to remain informed about our storage protections.
