This Privacy Policy explains how LINDOCODE DIGITAL (PTY) LTD ('we', 'us', or 'our') collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information when you visit our website, enquire about our services, or work with us.

We act as the responsible party for personal information processed through this website and in relation to our client and business operations, except where another party determines the purpose and means of processing.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect identification and contact details such as your name, email address, phone number, company name, billing details, communication history, project information, technical usage data, IP address, browser details, and any other information you voluntarily submit.

We may also collect limited cookie or analytics-related information to understand website performance, improve usability, and maintain security.

3. How we collect personal information

We may collect information directly from you when you complete a contact form, request a quote, send us an email, subscribe to updates, sign an agreement, make payment, or communicate with us in any other way.

We may also collect information automatically through website logs, cookies, analytics tools, security tools, and hosting or infrastructure providers used to operate the site.

4. Why we process personal information

We process personal information to respond to enquiries, provide proposals, deliver design and development services, manage projects, issue invoices, maintain records, improve our website and services, detect misuse, comply with legal obligations, and communicate with clients or prospective clients.

Where required, we will rely on consent, contractual necessity, legal obligations, legitimate business interests, or another lawful ground recognised under applicable law.

05

5. Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers or operators who help us run our business, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, payment processors, cloud infrastructure services, email tools, and professional advisers, but only where reasonably necessary.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to apply appropriate security and confidentiality protections.

06

6. Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for lawful business needs, or to comply with contractual, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution, or legal obligations.

When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, destroy, de-identify, or securely archive it in accordance with applicable requirements.

07

7. Security safeguards

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to secure personal information. These may include access controls, authentication protections, software updates, secure hosting environments, limited access practices, and monitoring aimed at reducing the risk of unauthorised access or loss.

No online environment can be guaranteed completely secure, but we work to maintain safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we process.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, object to certain forms of processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or request deletion where continued retention is not justified.

You may also ask us how your information has been used or shared and request support where you believe your privacy rights have been affected.
