We may also use your personal information for the purposes of our internal administrative, research, planning, marketing, campaigns and project development.
We won't use or disclose your personal information for any secondary purpose, unless:

- you have given us your consent.
How we collect and hold information
We collect and hold personal information you provide us through our website, Mxit, USSD, over the phone or by email.
For example, when you send an email to us or give us information over the phone, we may retain this in order to respond to your inquiry.
How we make sure your personal information is protected
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where we store personal information.

If you are under 16 years old and you nevertheless wish to ask a question or use this website in anyway which requires you to submit your personal information please get your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf.
Unsolicited personal information
We don't usually collect unsolicited personal information. Where we receive unsolicited personal information, we'll determine whether or not it would have been permissible to collect that personal information if it had been solicited.
