3. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that
person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous
data).

information or you may elect to provide Web Maniacs with personally identifiable information. The

    telephone numbers.

      We also collect, use, and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any
      purpose. aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal
      data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may
      aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website
      feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can
      directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in
      accordance with this Privacy Policy.

      We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about
      your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions,
      trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data), without
      your consent. This includes biometric data (fingerprint and photo), which we collect when you enrol
      on our access control systems to access a property.

    3.1 If you fail to provide personal data

    Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with
    you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract
    requirements we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide services). In this
    case, Web Maniacs may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify
    you if this is the case.

    4. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED?

    We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

    Direct interactions. You may give us your personal information by filling in forms or by

      details, like your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or other social media account. If you choose to

      account, but will often include your name, e-mail address, friends list, profile picture as well as
      other information you choose to make public.

    • Third parties or publicly available sources. We may obtain information about you from other
      sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms (such as
      Facebook), as well as from other third parties. Examples of the information we receive from
      other sources include: social media profile information (your name, gender, birthday, email,
      current city, state and country, user identification numbers for your contacts, profile picture URL
      and any other information that you choose to make public); marketing leads and search results
      and links, including paid listings (such as sponsored links).

    5. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

    The personal information collected on the Sites will be used to operate the Sites and to provide
    the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. In support of these uses,
    Web Maniacs may combine the personally identifiable information you have provided to it on the
    Sites with other information about you that is available to it, including usage information and
    information from other sources.

    Web Maniacs will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we
    may use your personal data in the following circumstances:

    • To enable Web Maniacs to process, validate and verify requests for products and services and
      for the purposes for which you specifically provided the information;

    • Special personal data is collected for use by our biometric access control systems (“Access
      Control”) to validate the individual authorised to gain access matches the registered individual,
      and to facilitate access to restricted areas;

    • Special personal data (closed circuit television) is collected by the video monitoring system to
      record all activities for incident investigation, crime prevention, public safety and to comply with
      contractual obligations;

    • To improve your experience on the website; to improve and develop new products, features
      and services;

      • To allow Web Maniacs to personalise the advertising users see based on their personal
        characteristics or preferences, and for other purposes.

      • Where we need to perform the contract, we are about to enter or have entered with you.

      • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests

        and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

      • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

        Web Maniacs may disclose any information about you to law enforcement agencies,
        government officials or other authorities, as Web Maniacs, in its sole discretion, believes necessary
        or appropriate in the circumstances.

      1. 5.2  Marketing
        Web Maniacs strives to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly

        around marketing and advertising.

      2. 5.3  Promotional offers from us

        We may use your identity, contact, technical, usage and profile data to form a view on what we
        think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which
        products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

        You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or
        purchased goods or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing or if
        we are legally entitled to send you such marketing.

      3. 5.4  Third-party marketing
        Web Maniacs will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any

      third party for marketing purposes.

      1. 5.5  Opting out

        You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages by following the opt-out
        links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us.

      2. 5.6  Cookies
        We use cookies for the following purposes: to enable certain functions of the Service and to

        provide analytics.

        There are two types of computer cookies: temporary and permanent. Temporary cookies, also
        called session cookies, are stored for a short time and then removed as soon as the browser is
        closed. Permanent cookies, also called persistent cookies, are stored for a long time on the user’s
        hard drive and, if deleted, will be replaced the next time the respective site is visited. We only use
        session cookies on the Sites, and we use different types of cookies to run the services:

        • Essential cookies. We may use essential cookies to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent
          use of user accounts.

        • Performance cookies. We use third party analytics e.g., Google Analytics to give us for
          example, the journey between different pages in combination with device type, to get a better
          sense of how our uses engage with our applications to improve the performance of our sites
          and pages within the sites. This information does not include any personal information.

      3. 5.7  Change of purpose

        We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably
        consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original
        purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is
        compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.  
        If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain
        the legal basis which allows us to do so.

        1. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
          We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table

          “Purposes for which we will use your personal data” above:

          • Internal third parties;

          • External third parties;

          • Specific third parties listed in the table “Purposes for which we will use your personal data”

            above; and

          • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our

            assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change
            happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way
            as set out in this privacy policy.

            We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with
            the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own
            purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance
            with our instructions.

        2. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

          Personal information collected from you may be stored and processed in South Africa, or any other
          country in which Web Maniacs operates or maintains facilities and may be transferred to third party
          suppliers to Web Maniacs, to help Web Maniacs to improve the content of the website, Ticketing System,
          provide you with the products or services requested, to consider and respond to any application for
          employment made, and to help service providers to perform services on its behalf. These countries may
          not have data protection laws like that of South Africa, but we will comply with applicable data protection
          legislation in this regard.

        3. DATA SECURITY

          The personally identifiable information we collect about you is stored in limited access servers.
          Web Maniacs maintains safeguards to protect the security, integrity, and privacy of these servers
          and your personally identifiable information.

        8.1 How long will you use my personal data for?

        We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we
        collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or
        reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a
        complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship
        with you.

        To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature
        and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure
        of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can 
        achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting,
        or other requirements.

        In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data and, in some circumstances, we will
        anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or
        statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to
        you.

        9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
        Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

        9.1 You have the right to:

        Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This
        enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are
        lawfully processing it.

        Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any
        incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the
        accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

        Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal
        data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask
        us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to
        object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or
        where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that
        we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which
        will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

        Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those
        of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to
        processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also
        have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
        In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your
        information which override your rights and freedoms.

        Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend
        the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

        • If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.

        • Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.

        • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish,

          exercise or defend legal claims.

        • You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding

          legitimate grounds to use it.

          Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a
          third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable
          format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided
          consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. 
          Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

          1. 9.2  No fee usually required
            You will generally not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the

            other rights).

            However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

            Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

          2. 9.3  What we may need from you

            We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
