Privacy policy
Last updated 6 November 2026
vStratify (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through vstratify.co.za, why we collect it, and your rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
Who is responsible
The responsible party is vStratify, represented by Seán Fabian. You can reach our Information Officer atinfo@vstratify.co.za or +27 79 015 5514.
What we collect
- Contact form: your name, email address, company (optional) and message.
- Free assessment: your answers and results. If you choose to email yourself the report, also your name, email and company.
- Newsletter: your email address.
- Analytics (only with your consent): pseudonymous usage data from Google Analytics, such as pages visited, device type and approximate location.
Assessment answers stay in your browser unless you submit them to us.
Why we use it
- To reply to your enquiry and to prepare for any call you book.
- To send you the assessment report you asked for.
- To send articles you subscribed to. Every email has an unsubscribe option.
- With consent, to understand which pages are useful and improve the site.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decisions about you.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of service providers (operators) to run the site: Vercel (hosting), Resend (email delivery), Google (booking calendar and, with consent, analytics). Some of them process data outside South Africa. Where that happens, we rely on providers bound by data-protection terms that offer protection comparable to POPIA.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry and assessment information for as long as needed to respond and for up to 24 months afterwards, unless we start working together, in which case our client agreement applies. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
Under POPIA you may:
- ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy;
- ask us to correct or delete it;
- object to processing, including direct marketing;
- withdraw consent at any time;
- lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (inforegulator.org.za).
Email info@vstratify.co.za to exercise any of these rights.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS, forms are sent over encrypted connections, and only vStratify has access to the enquiries you send. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
