Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION


The company is obliged to comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act (No. 4 of 2013) (“POPI”) as well as
the Promotion of Access to Information Act (No. 2 of 2000) (“PAIA”), given that it processes the personal information
of its employees, suppliers, clients and other data subjects from time to time as well as that there may be requesters
of information relating to the company and its operations.
The company guarantees its commitment to protecting data subject privacy as well as ensuring that their personal
information is used appropriately, transparently, securely and in accordance with applicable laws. This is in line with
the Constitutional provisions.
POPI requires the company to inform its data subjects as to how their personal information is collected, processed,
secured, disclosed and destroyed. This Policy sets out the manner in which the Company deals with such personal
information as well as stipulates the general purpose for which such information is used. It also addresses the
standards expected of employees of the company in respect of their conduct in this regard.
Appropriate stakeholders should be made aware of the contents of this Policy when their consent is requested for
the processing of their personal information or when there are interactions with data subjects.
The provisions of this policy must be read along with the relevant practices and procedures that are used to
operationalise the purpose hereof.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The company collects stores and processes personal information pertaining to data subjects including its employees,
suppliers, clients and other stakeholders. The type of information collected and processed will depend on the
purpose for which it is collected and will be processed for that scope of application only. Whenever appropriate, the
company will inform the data subject of the information required, the purpose thereof, the rights of participation and
the other relevant provisions contained at law.
The company must indicate to the data subject the consequence of failing to provide such personal information.
For example, the company may not be able to employ an individual without certain personal information relating to
that individual or the company may not be in a position to render services to a client in the absence of certain
information which is required.
Examples of the personal information the company collects includes, but is not limited to information relating to
an identifiable, living, natural person, and where it is applicable, an identifiable, existing juristic person –
a) information relating to the race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, national, ethnic or social origin,
colour, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental health, well-being, disability, religion, conscience, belief,
culture, language and birth of the person;
b) information relating to the education or the medical, financial, criminal or employment history of the
person;

information, online identifier or other particular assignment to the person
d) the biometric information of the person;
e) the personal opinions, views or preferences of the person;
f) correspondence sent by the person that is implicitly or explicitly of a private or confidential nature or
further correspondence that would reveal the contents of the original correspondence;
g) the views or opinions of another individual about the person; and
h) the name of the person if it appears with other personal information relating to the person or if the
disclosure of the name itself would reveal information about the person. KPR POPI POLICY
