This Policy applies strictly to all services, online content publications, digital tools, and registration pages managed directly by Elegance Media (Pty) Ltd within South Africa.

We compile data under three separate patterns:
- Directly Supplied Data: When you complete our feedback forms (incorporating your Name, valid South African Phone Number, Email coordinates, and structural notes).
- Automated Interaction Data: Through system files containing device configurations, regional routing, analytical cookies, and screen session intervals.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing Data
All processing activity follows stipulations within South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). The table below outlines our processing legal bases:
| Purpose | Data Categories | POPIA Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Fulfilling contact requests of site visitors | Full Names, Telephone Address, e-Mail coordinates | Direct Consent (Section 11(1)(a)) |
| Newsletter list maintenance | Subscribing email coordinates | Direct Consent / Legitimate Interest (Section 11(1)(f)) |
| Analyzing site operations with analytical tools | Browser settings, Cookie IDs, regional IPs | Consent / Operational Legitimacy (Section 11) |
5. Cookies and Google Consent Mode v2
We utilize cookie sequences across digital layers. Non-necessary cookies (such as analytics or advertising) remain disabled (denied state) by default until the moment you select "Accept All" or opt inside customized parameters. You can permanently adjust your status by pressing the "Cookie Settings" trigger in our footer.
6. Sharing Information with Partners
We do not lease or sell visitor datasets. We share critical data only with trusted digital support agents (such as newsletter mailing tools or analytical engines) who maintain comparable POPIA security controls.
7. International Data Movements
If we coordinate routing on server nodes outside South Africa, we secure identical processing safety agreements under Section 72 of the POPI Act.
8. Retention Windows
We retain transaction and message files for custom intervals matchable with South African Corporate Laws—generally 5 to 7 years from transaction date.

Under POPIA regulations, you have explicit rights to:
- Query if we manage database logs containing your identity.
- Instruct adjustments or complete deletion of records.
- Object to future marketing distributions.
- Initiate disputes with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
