Lawful bases
We process inquiry data on the basis of consent (when you submit the form) and legitimate interest (to answer business correspondence). Consent preferences are stored locally in your browser under the key nodesignal_consent_v1.
Retention
Inquiry records are kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful correspondence, unless a longer period is required for tax or legal claims. You may ask us to delete outdated records earlier where POPIA allows.
Your rights (POPIA sections 11–14, 23–25)
You may request access to personal information we hold about you, ask for correction of inaccurate data, object to processing, or request deletion of records that are no longer necessary. We will respond within a reasonable period prescribed by POPIA.
Cross-border transfers
We host and process inquiry data for South African clients. If tooling used during an engagement involves processors outside South Africa, we will describe that in your engagement letter.
Security
Inquiry submissions are sent via HTTPS to a form handler on node-signal.digital (POST /api/inquiry). Access is limited to staff who need it to respond.
Complaints
You may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa) if you believe we have handled your information unlawfully.
Changes
Material changes to this notice will be posted on this page with an updated date.
