Privacy and terms.

Privacy policy

This policy explains what personal information miyelaniholeni.co.za collects, why, and what your rights are under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Who is responsible

The responsible party for this website is Miyelani Holeni. For any question or request about your personal information, email [email protected].

What we collect

• Your email address, if you subscribe to the newsletter. That is the only personal information you give us on this site.
• Technical data. Like any website, the servers that deliver these pages see your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. These logs are used to run and protect the site.

This website does not use analytics or advertising trackers, and it does not set cookies of its own.

Why we use it

• To send you the newsletter you asked for, and nothing else.
• To keep the website running, secure and protected from abuse.

Your consent is our basis for the newsletter. You confirm it by clicking the link in the confirmation email we send when you subscribe, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Who processes it for us

• Brevo stores newsletter subscribers and sends the newsletter. Brevo is based in the European Union, which has data protection laws comparable to POPIA.
• Cloudflare hosts and delivers this website and may process technical data on servers outside South Africa.
• Google serves the fonts and the YouTube videos on this site. When a page loads fonts or a video, your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address. Videos are embedded in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode.

These providers act on our behalf, under their own security and privacy commitments. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

How long we keep it

We keep your email address while you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe, you stop receiving the newsletter straight away, and you can ask us to delete your address completely.

Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to its use. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. To make a request, email [email protected].

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa at inforegulator.org.za.

Security

The website is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and access to the newsletter account is restricted. No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect yours.
