What Personal Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

Contact form submissions

• Full name
• Email address
• Phone number, optional
• Company name, optional
• Service of interest
• Message and enquiry details

Automatic data

Gridline does not run analytics on this website, does not track you across it, and does not build a profile of your visit. The contact form is the only place this site collects anything, and only what you type into it and send.

One thing happens automatically, and it is fair to state it: the page loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser requests those files from Google and Google receives your IP address and browser type as part of serving them. Gridline does not receive that information, and no cookie is set by it.

How We Use Your Information

• Respond to your enquiry: we use your contact details to reply to messages submitted through the contact form.
• Fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligation: if you engage Gridline for services, information is processed as required to deliver that work.

Gridline does not use personal information for unsolicited marketing without explicit consent.

Cookies & Analytics

This website does not run analytics. Gridline does not use Google Analytics or any comparable service, and sets no tracking, advertising, or profiling cookies. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

The only information Gridline receives from this site is what you type into the contact form and choose to send.

Sharing of Information

Gridline does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Information is only shared in limited cases:

• Service providers: third-party email or form-delivery services may process submissions under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal obligation: information may be disclosed if required by South African law or a valid court order.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Contact form enquiries are retained for up to 3 years for business record purposes. You may request deletion of your information, subject to legal retention obligations.

Security of Your Information

Gridline takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The website is served over HTTPS. No internet transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Your Rights Under POPIA

As a data subject under POPIA, you may:

Access

Request confirmation of whether Gridline holds your information and request a copy.

Correction

Request correction of inaccurate or outdated personal information.

Deletion

Request deletion of personal information, subject to any legal retention duties.

Objection

Object to processing on reasonable grounds.

Withdraw consent

Withdraw any consent previously given for processing.

Complaint

Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa at inforegulator.org.za.

To exercise these rights, contactTheuns@gridlineconsulting.co.za. Gridline will respond within 30 days of receiving the request.
