We may passively collect certain of your Personal Information from the devices that you use to access and navigate the Website or to make use of our services by way of various technological applications, for instance, using server logs to collect and maintain log information.

Personal Information Collected from Third Parties

Wassp Marketing Solutions receives Personal Information about you from various third parties and public sources, including public records, third parties who provide Personal Information as data controllers to Wassp Marketing Solutions, and our information technology suppliers.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the Personal Information we collect to maintain and improve the Website itself and to improve the experience of its users and our clients, to facilitate the provision of our services. This includes:

Storage and Transfer of Your Personal Information

We store your Personal Information on our servers or those of our service providers. We reserve the right to transfer to and/or store your Personal Information on servers in a jurisdiction other than where it was collected, or outside of South Africa in a jurisdiction that may not have comparable data protection legislation.

If the location to which Personal Information is transferred does not have substantially similar laws to those of South Africa, we will take reasonably practicable steps, including the imposition of appropriate contractual terms to ensure that your Personal Information is adequately protected in that jurisdiction.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to secure the integrity of retained information and protect it from misuse, loss, alteration, and destruction through the use of accepted technological standards that prevent unauthorised access to or disclosure of your Personal Information.

Despite the above measures being taken when Processing Personal Information, we do not guarantee that your Personal Information is 100% secure.
