Core Principles
Your privacy is important to us, so we’ll strive to protect the information you share with us. To protect your privacy, we follow certain basic principles in accordance with global best practices relating to customer privacy and data protection. Except to the extent provided for in this policy, we won’t sell or give away your name, e-mail address, phone number or any other personal information to anyone without your express consent and we’ll use industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorised users.
Collection of Your Personal Information
When you visit this Site, certain kinds of information, such as the Web site that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, and access times, may be collected automatically as part of the Site’s operation. We may also collect navigational information, including information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the Site. We may combine your visit and navigational information with personal information that you provide. You may always choose not to provide personal information, but, if you so choose, your access to and use of the Site may be limited.
Personal information (i.e., any information by which you can be identified and which relates to you as an identifiable individual, such as your name, e-mail address, etc.) is collected when you contact us through the Site.
Use of Your Personal Information
We collect and use your personal information to operate and improve the Site, to better understand our customers and to assist us with Site administration, such as with troubleshooting any problems, detecting fraud, resolving disputes, and for any purposes deemed necessary or required by CMG to enforce the Terms and Conditions and other terms or conditions applicable to any portion of the Site. We may also use your contact information to enable us to communicate with you.
We may send you newsletters or marketing communications. If you do not wish to receive marketing communications, you should follow the “unsubscribe” instructions included within each communication.
Personal information collected by us may be stored and processed in South Africa or any other country in which we or our service providers or agents maintain facilities, and by using this Site and our services, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
If you would like to exercise any of your data protection rights (including the right to have your personal information deleted), please contact us using the “Contact Information” section below.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as disclosed in this privacy policy, we do not share your personal information with any outside parties.
On occasion, we may offer, in conjunction with third parties, certain services that may require you (or CMG) to share your personal information with that third party as a condition for providing that service. While we will treat any information we receive in accordance with this privacy policy, CMG will not be responsible for the information submitted by you to that third party and we remind you to review the applicable rules and any third party’s applicable privacy policies separately before participating in such service.
Information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of the company and/or its assets, as well as in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, in which case personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company. We may notify you of such an occurrence as described in the “Changes to This Privacy Policy” section below.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property or safety of our company, employees, users, or the public.
Security of Your Personal Information
Whilst we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information, we take all commercially reasonable measures and precautions to keep it secure and protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure by following generally accepted security practices, including the use of encryption and logical and physical access control mechanisms. However, we cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information despite our best endeavours.
