Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2025

1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.datsu.co.za. Datsu Tech Solutions (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your personal information and processing it in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and other applicable data protection laws in South Africa.

2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible in the context of your comment.

3. Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may download and extract location data from images on the site.

4. Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year for your convenience.
  • Login Page: A temporary cookie is set on your browser to determine if it accepts cookies; this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • User Login: When you log in, cookies are used to store your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”), while screen options cookies last for one year.
  • Article Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved indicating the post ID; this cookie expires after one day.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.

6. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, in limited instances—such as processing a password reset request—your IP address may be included in the reset email. We also work with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., spam detection services) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
  • User Profiles: For users registering on our website, the personal information provided is stored in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username), while administrators may also access this data.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (this does not include data we are obliged to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes). Under POPIA, you are entitled to access, correct, and delete your personal information. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be analyzed by automated spam detection services that may process your personal data outside South Africa. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

10. Data Protection and POPIA Compliance
Datsu Tech Solutions processes your personal information in accordance with POPIA and implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure your data. We only collect data for specific, explicitly stated purposes, and we ensure that you are informed about how your data is used.
