Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 September 2026

This policy applies to AfrifinHub at afrifinhub.com. We aim to handle personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable South African data-protection requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (“POPIA”), where it applies.

Information we may collect

• Information you submit, such as your name, email address and message when contacting us.
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited and approximate location.
• Cookie and analytics information, depending on the services and consent tools enabled on the website.
• Records needed to investigate abuse, security incidents, corrections or legal requests.

Why we use information

We may process information to operate and secure the website, respond to enquiries, improve content and performance, measure readership, prevent abuse, comply with legal duties and manage advertising or other website services. Where required, processing may be based on consent, a contract, legal obligations or our legitimate interests in operating a secure informational website.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use essential cookies and, if enabled, analytics or advertising technologies. Your consent banner or browser settings may allow you to reject non-essential cookies. Blocking cookies may affect some functionality. This policy should be updated if new analytics, advertising, embedded-media or marketing services are installed.

Service providers and disclosures

We may share limited information with hosting, security, analytics, email, website-management or legal service providers where reasonably necessary. Providers may process information under their own terms and in other countries. We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect rights or security, or as part of a legitimate business transfer.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, legal compliance, security, dispute resolution or record keeping. Retention periods vary by the type of information and service used.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No website, email system or internet transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask whether we hold your personal information and request access, correction or deletion; object to certain processing; withdraw consent where processing relies on consent; or raise a concern about our handling of information. Verification may be required before fulfilling a request.

You may also lodge a complaint with South Africa’s Information Regulator. Confirm its current contact channels on the regulator’s official website before submitting personal information.

Children

AfrifinHub is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorisation. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information improperly.

Third-party websites

Links to banks and other websites are governed by those organisations’ privacy policies. AfrifinHub does not control their processing practices.

Contact and policy changes

For privacy questions or requests, email info@afrifinhub.com. We may revise this policy when our website, services or legal obligations change. The date above identifies the latest version.
