Welcome to Our Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy complies with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and applies to both individuals and juristic persons (e.g., businesses). World Impact Suppliers CC, located at 21 Phillip Frame, Observation Hill, KZN, South Africa (contact: 0782127491), collects your personal information to provide plant hire services, process bookings, respond to inquiries, and improve our website functionality.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you provide through our website, www.worldimpact.co.za (hereinafter “us,” “we,” or “www.worldimpact.co.za”).
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it to third parties. It applies only to information collected via our website and does not cover data gathered from other sources.

Our Information Officer oversees POPIA compliance and can be reached at 0782127491. You can request access, correction, or deletion of your data by contacting us with your ID for verification. In case of a data breach, we will notify the Information Regulator and affected users promptly, as required by POPIA.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, World Impact Suppliers CC collects non-personally-identifying information typically made available by web browsers and servers, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use our website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate (e.g., in a report on website usage trends).

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, for logged-in users and users leaving comments on our blog at www.worldimpact.co.za. We collect this data based on your consent or our legitimate interest to improve our website. IP addresses are stored securely using encryption and retained only as long as necessary. We only disclose logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information, as described below. You can object to this processing by contacting us at 0782127491.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to our website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information depends on the interaction. For example, visitors who sign up for our blog at www.worldimpact.co.za provide a username and email address. We collect this data with your explicit consent via opt-in forms. We may share this data with third-party processors (e.g., email services) who comply with POPIA.

You can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at 0782127491 with your ID for verification. We retain this data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, such as responding to inquiries or providing services.

Security

The security of your personal information is a priority for us. We implement robust security measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. In the event of a data breach, we will notify the Information Regulator and affected users promptly, as required by POPIA. While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
