1. Scope

This policy applies to degoedenetworking.co.za. We provide IT information and news. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site or use our contact tools.

2. Information We Collect

We keep it simple. We only collect information in two ways:

• Contact Form: If you message us, we collect your Name, Email Address, and any details you type into the message box.

• Automatic Data: Like most websites, we use basic cookies to see how many people visit us and which articles are popular (e.g., via Google Analytics). This includes your IP address and browser type.

3. WhatsApp & Facebook Links

Our website includes buttons for WhatsApp and Facebook:

• WhatsApp: Clicking this opens the WhatsApp application. We do not see your phone number unless you actually send us a message.

• Facebook: Clicking the Facebook icon takes you to our page. Your data usage on that platform is governed by Facebook’s own privacy policy.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your information strictly to:

• Respond to your specific enquiry via the contact form.

• Monitor website traffic to ensure our IT content is relevant to our audience.

• Note: We do not use your contact form details for marketing or newsletters unless you specifically ask us to.

5. Security

Even though we don’t have logins, we take your security seriously. Our website uses SSL encryption (the "lock" icon in your browser) to ensure that any information you send through our contact form is encrypted during transit.

6. Your Rights (POPIA)

Under the Protection of Personal Information Act, you have the right to ask us what information we hold about you, request that we update it, or ask us to delete your contact history from our records.

7. Contact Us

If you have any questions about your privacy on this site, please contact our Information Officer:
