Protecting your privacy is as important to us as it is to you.

This privacy notice explains why and how we collect, use and store your personal information. If you have any questions please contact us at +27 (0) 74 728 9160 or at info@secanity.com
What is this notice about?
We want you to understand who you are sharing your information with, what kind of information we are collecting and how we use the information.
We ask for your information to make sure that we can offer the right product at the right time and in the right place. This includes analysing your data to better understand what your needs are, and sending you promotional information.The Protection of Personal Information Act protects you.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is aimed at protecting your personal information and prescribes what we must and must not do with it. POPIA created an Information Regulator that checks that companies like Secanity manage personal information in a responsible manner that respects your privacy.
Other legislation also applies to your personal information. For instance, if you are applying for a Credit Card or a Store Card, the Financial Intelligence Centre Act and the National Credit Act have to be complied with. This means that from time to time we will be obligated to process your personal information in a certain way (or keep it for a certain period).

From time to time we may have to amend this notice to accommodate changes in our business or services or if legal requirements change.
