Nullius Technologies (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. We work with clients worldwide, so this policy explains what we collect, why, how we handle it, and your rights under both South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) and, for visitors in the European Union and United Kingdom, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect
We keep this simple: the only personal information we hold is what you send us when you get in touch. In practice that means your email address and the contents of your email, along with any contact details you choose to include (such as your name, company, or phone number). We communicate with clients by email, so that correspondence is the extent of the personal data we store. We do not build profiles, buy data, or collect anything beyond what you share with us directly.
Why we collect it
Only to read and respond to your message and to communicate with you about a potential or ongoing engagement. That's it.
Under the GDPR, our lawful bases for processing are your consent (which you may withdraw at any time) and our legitimate interest in responding to and corresponding with people who contact us. Where we rely on legitimate interest, we balance it against your rights and freedoms.
How we store and protect it
Your information is stored securely and access is limited to those who need it to respond to you. We retain enquiry information only for as long as necessary to deal with your enquiry and any resulting engagement, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate (for example, email delivery or hosting), and only to the extent needed to provide that service. Those providers are required to protect your information.
International data transfers
Because we work with clients worldwide, your personal information may be processed or stored on servers located outside your country, including outside South Africa and the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected to a standard consistent with POPIA and the GDPR, for example by using providers that offer appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Your rights under POPIA
If you are in South Africa, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you.
- Request that we correct or delete your personal information.
- Object to or withdraw consent for our processing of your information.
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
Your rights under the GDPR (EU and UK)
If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights over your personal information:
- Access, to obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Rectification, to have inaccurate or incomplete information corrected.
- Erasure, to have your personal information deleted (the “right to be forgotten”).
- Restriction, to limit how we process your information in certain circumstances.
- Data portability, to receive your information in a portable format or have it transferred.
- Objection, to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.
- Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the EU, your national data protection authority; in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).
We will respond to any rights request within the timeframes required by applicable law, at no charge.
Cookies and analytics
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not build a personal profile of you from your visit. We use privacy-friendly, cookieless website analytics that reports aggregate, anonymous figures (such as total page views) and does not identify you or store personal information. Simply browsing this site does not add you to any record we keep, only emailing us does.
