If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

1. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

• Hyve Digital will keep your personal information confidential and only share it with others in terms of this Policy, or if you consent to it, or if the law requires us to share it. We may disclose your personal information to:

9.1.1 Our third-party service providers and processors in order to provide you with access to the website and/or products/services, in accordance with written agreements with these third parties;

9.1.2 Legal and regulatory authorities, upon their request, or for the purposes of reporting any breach of applicable law;

9.1.3 Accountants, auditors, lawyers and other external professional advisors in terms of written agreements with them;

• If we engage third-party processors to process your personal information, the processors will only be appointed in terms of a written agreement which will require the third party processors to only process personal information in terms of our mandate, use appropriate measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of your personal information and comply with other requirements as set out in this agreement and required by POPIA, the GDPR and other Applicable Law.

• Due to the fact that we are not responsible for any representations or information or warranties or content provided by third parties, even where such third parties are our clients, we do not exercise control over such third parties’ privacy policies and you should refer to the privacy policy of any such third party to establish how such third party protects your privacy.

10. STORING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

• Due to the nature of the services/products and our business being established in different countries and us working with business partners and service providers in different countries, we may need to transfer personal information to and from the different countries for internal business purposes.

• The data which we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside South Africa or the United Kingdom, as the case may be. It may also be processed by staff or service providers operating outside South Africa (or the United Kingdom) who work for us or for one of our suppliers. By submitting your personal information, you expressly agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. When we use storage outside of South Africa (or the United Kingdom), it is in data centers which are POPIA or GDPR compliant.

• The personal information that we collect from you and that we transfer to a third party outside of collection or processing shall only be to a third party who is subject to a law, binding corporate rules or binding agreement which provides an adequate level of protection that:

10.3.1 Is in accordance with this Policy;

10.3.2 includes provisions that are substantially similar to what is contained in this privacy policy regarding the further transfer of your data.

• All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and/or on our chosen cloud storage solutions. All our development machines are encrypted to hard drive level and our development cluster is encrypted to the operating system level. All backups to external hard drives are also encrypted. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access our servers, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

• Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

• Should you submit personal information for publication on the website, whether by way of a testimonial, article or for any other purpose, you acknowledge that this will be published on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world. Hyve Digital cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.

• Please note that should you transfer any personal information directly to a third party in another country (i.e. we do not send your personal information to the third party), we are not responsible for that transfer of personal information (and such transfer is not based on or protected by this Policy). Any personal information that we receive from a third party country will nevertheless be processed in terms of this Policy.

1. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

• We may process your personal information to contact you to provide you with information regarding our services/products that may be of interest to you. Where we provide services/products to you, we may send information to you regarding our services/products and other information that may be of interest to you, using the contact details that you have provided to us. We will only send you direct marketing communications where you have consented to us sending direct marketing or otherwise in compliance with this Policy or Applicable Laws.

• You may unsubscribe from any direct marketing communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link that we include in every direct marketing communication or by contacting us and requesting us to do so.

• After you unsubscribe, we will not send you any direct marketing communications, but we will continue to contact you when necessary in connection with providing you with the services/products.

• We will also send notifications of changes to our terms and conditions and policies (where necessary), updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages regarding our services/products.

1. USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

• The Website may make use of “cookies” to automatically collect information and data through the standard operation of the Internet servers. “Cookies” are small text files a website can use to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user’s on-going access to and use of a website and allow a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow the website operator to improve the functionality of the website and its content, and to display more focused advertising to a user by way of third-party tools.

• The types of information that may be collected through the use of cookies includes: browser software used; IP address; date and time of activities while visiting our website; URLs of internal pages visited; and referrers. This type of information is not used to personally identify you. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject only third party cookies. For instance, in Google Chrome, you can block all cookies by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner to open the menu, then selecting ‘Settings’, navigating to ‘Privacy and security’, choosing ‘Cookies and other site data’, and finally, selecting the option to ‘Block all cookies’..  Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of the Hyve Digital website as cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on our website. Thus, if you disable the cookies on your browser you may not be able to use those features, and your access to our website will therefore be limited. If you do not disable “cookies”, you are deemed to consent to our use of any personal information collected using those cookies, subject to the provisions of this Policy and the website’s other policies.

• For more information on the exact Cookies and technical data used, please contact us and we will gladly provide a full technical breakdown of these cookies and technical data.

13. DATA SECURITY AND HOW WE TREAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

• We will ensure that all of our employees, consultants, service providers and partners who have access to your personal information are bound by appropriate and legally binding confidentiality obligations and process your personal information at standards equal to or higher than Prelexis’ in relation to your personal information.

• We will:

12.2.1 treat your personal information as strictly confidential, apart from in instances where we are entitled to share it as set out in this Policy;

12.2.2 take appropriate technical, security and organisational measures to reasonably ensure, without guaranteeing due to the inherent insecurity of data transmission over the internet, that your personal information is kept secure and is protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage, alteration, disclosure or access, including only providing restricted access to those who need it when processing personal information. While we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information you provide us, we will continue to maintain and improve these security measures over time in line with industry best practices and legal/ technological developments;

12.2.3 provide you with reasonable access to your personal information to view and/or update personal details;

12.2.4 promptly notify you if we become aware of any unauthorised use, disclosure or processing of your personal information;

12.2.5 provide you with reasonable evidence of our compliance with our obligations under this Policy on reasonable notice and request; and

• We will not retain your personal information longer than the period for which it was originally needed ], unless we are required by law to do so, or you consent to us retaining such information for a longer period. In some circumstances, other Applicable Law or national legislation requires us to retain your data beyond your request for its deletion, or beyond your direct engagement with Hyve Digital. As such, we may retain your personal information in adherence with compulsory instructions from other Applicable Law or national legislation, despite your application to have it deleted or amended.

• Whilst we will do all things reasonably necessary to protect your rights of privacy, we also cannot guarantee or accept any liability whatsoever for unauthorised or unlawful disclosures of your personal information, whilst in our possession, made by third parties who are not subject to our control, unless such disclosure is as a result of our gross negligence or fraud.

• If you disclose your personal information to a third party, Hyve Digital shall not be liable for any loss or damage, how ever it arises, suffered by you as a result of the disclosure of such information to the third party. This is because we do not regulate or control how that third party uses your personal information. You should always ensure that you read the privacy policy of any third party.

1. YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

• You are entitled to request access to any relevant personal information held by Hyve Digital where such access is necessary for you to exercise and/or protect any of your rights.

That being said, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. We may also refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

• We may need to request specific information or evidence from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

• Users who are citizens from jurisdictions other than South Africa or the United Kingdom, please note that Hyve Digital complies with all South African as well as UK data protection laws, as applicable, when processing your personal information pursuant to the services/products. Should other foreign law be applicable in any regard to your use of the services/products and/or the website in any way, including how we may process your personal information, please contact us and we will gladly engage you on its application and your rights.

• Hyve Digital also reserves the right to retain on our records information you have requested be removed from our active databases for certain purposes, such as to resolve disputes. Please also note that information submitted to us by you may in some instances never be completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints.

• Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Hyve Digital decides/is required to rebrand, restructure, sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its business, including changing its name and/or the type of legal entity that it operates as. Should this occur, it will involve the disclosure of personal information to the new entity. Such eventualities may involve the disclosure of personal information for necessary and legitimate purposes. It is Hyve Digital’s practice to seek reasonable protection for information in these types of arrangements and notify you prior to any disclosure of personal information. Such disclosure will also be subject to this Policy.

• Hyve Digital strives to keep the user’s personal information accurately recorded. Hyve Digital will provide a user with the reasonable ability to review and correct it or ask for anonymization, blockage, transfer or deletion, as applicable, should it be so requested. Please contact us to engage Hyve Digital on such actions or requests.

• We also collect, use and share aggregated data or de-identified data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Such de-identified or aggregated data may be derived from your personal information but is not considered personal information in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal information which will be used in accordance with this Policy.
