Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Disclaimer

At SA-ENERGY (Pty) Ltd, we value and respect your privacy. By accessing our website, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the terms outlined in this Protection of Personal Information (POPI) disclaimer. We encourage you to read through it carefully to understand how we handle your personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (Act 4 of 2013).

Protection of Personal Information (POPI) is a critical aspect of our operations. We ensure compliance with the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act to safeguard your data and maintain transparency in how we handle your personal information.

Our Commitment to Privacy

We are fully committed to ensuring that any personal information shared with us is collected, processed, and stored responsibly, lawfully, and transparently. We take your privacy seriously and have put strong measures in place to safeguard your information.

As defined in both the POPI Act and the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA), personal and special personal information includes any data that can identify you as a person—such as your name, contact details, or ID number.

What We Collect and Why

We collect personal information primarily to provide you with access to our training services and support. The kind of data we collect will always relate directly to the services you request or interact with.

This may include information for purposes such as:

  • Verifying your identity and processing your training registration or application
  • Administering training-related services or assessments
  • Communicating updates, changes, or relevant news you may be interested in
  • Fulfilling legal and regulatory obligations
  • Conducting relevant checks (e.g., background or credit) where required

We only collect information that is necessary and relevant to these objectives.

Storing and Securing Your Data

All personal information is stored in a secure environment, following strict internal policies and the requirements of the POPI Act and PAIA. Your data will not be retained longer than necessary unless required by law or for contractual obligations. Any backup or residual data is carefully managed to maintain privacy, even after deletion from our active systems.

Protecting Your Information

We continually monitor and upgrade our systems and security protocols to protect against unauthorized access, use, or loss of data. This includes:

  • Regulating access to personal information
  • Secure communication channels
  • Regular policy reviews
  • Proper oversight of third-party service providers

Where third parties are involved, they are contractually obligated to maintain the same level of data security and confidentiality we commit to.

When We May Share Your Information

We will never share your personal information unless it is legally required or you have given us clear permission to do so. If we do share your information, it may be with:

  • Our internal staff, contractors, and authorized agents who require access to provide services
  • Regulatory and legal authorities when lawfully requested
  • Professional advisors or service providers working on our behalf
  • Anyone else you have authorized or where the law allows it (e.g., for credit evaluations)

Your Rights

You have full control over your personal information. As a data subject, you are entitled to:

  • Access the personal data we have about you
  • Request corrections or updates
  • Object to how your information is processed
  • Ask us to stop processing your data where it’s no longer needed

Before we act on any requests, we may ask for proof of identity to protect your information.
