In some instances, your data may be hosted, processed, or backed up outside of South Africa (for example, on secure cloud infrastructure or downstream international applications like Google or AWS). We take reasonable steps to ensure that any international Operator provides data security baselines that meet or exceed the requirements set out under POPIA.
We will never sell your information. We only share critical details with trusted technical Operators (e.g., payment gateways, local/international secure hosting infrastructure, or secure CRM software) necessary to deliver our Services. All Operators are contractually bound to process your data with strict confidentiality.
To deliver our services and process your inquiries and transactions efficiently, we share data captured on this website with the following third-party platforms, who act as Operators under POPIA:
Paystack WooCommerce Payment Gateway: Used to securely process online credit card and alternative payment transactions for e-commerce checkouts. Paystack processes transaction details, billing addresses, and payment card information through their secure external PCI-DSS-compliant payment infrastructure.
Elementor / Elementor Pro: Used to capture user data natively through built-in contact forms, inquiry blocks, and checkout layouts. Form entries and customer orders are stored in the website’s database and routed via email or API endpoints based on the specific form configurations.
GSheetConnector for Elementor Forms: Used to automatically sync and transmit submitted Elementor form data directly to secure external Google Sheets spreadsheets to manage customer inquiries and entries.
Yoast SEO: Used to manage on-page search engine optimization properties and automate sitemap metadata generation. No personal user data is collected or transferred externally by this utility.
To safeguard user data integrity, optimize operational performance, and comply with POPIA’s data minimization and security requirements, we employ several internal software utilities locally within our secure web hosting environment. These tools process data directly on our local server infrastructure without transferring user database payloads to independent third parties:
WP-Optimize – Clean, Compress, Cache: Used to clean the database, compress image uploads, and cache pages to keep the site fast and efficient. Data structures and temporary cache files are managed strictly on a local level during routine automated maintenance tasks.
WPS Hide Login: Used locally to protect the website administration area by changing the login URL and preventing unauthorized access attempts to the default backend directories.
WP Maintenance: Used locally to display a custom waiting or maintenance screen to visitors while site updates or preparations are underway.
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) & Code Snippets: Used locally by our administrative and development team to structure custom content fields and execute specific custom code functionalities natively within the WordPress environment.
SVG Support: Used purely as a safe administrative design utility to allow the secure upload and inline rendering of scalable vector graphics (SVG) using local CSS/JS. It does not touch or process user personal data.
We implement robust technical and organisational security measures to protect information against accidental loss, unauthorised destruction, or unlawful access. In the highly unlikely event of a confirmed security compromise or data breach, we will notify the South African Information Regulator and all affected Data Subjects without undue delay via written notification or prominent public publication.
As a Data Subject in South Africa, you hold the following rights:
You may exercise any of these rights seamlessly by contacting our Information Officer directly at info@gather19.co.za.
