Data Collection from Interactions

When you interact with the Finovanta website, such as submitting a registration form, we collect the data you provide, including your IP address and browser details. This data is used to safeguard our platform against unauthorized access and ensure compliance with security standards.

An anonymized string derived from your email address may be shared with trusted third-party services to verify your identity, in line with our security protocols.

Handling of Uploaded Content

We advise against uploading documents or files containing sensitive location data (e.g., GPS coordinates), as this information could potentially be accessed by others if downloaded from our site.

Cookie Usage

If you register on our site, you may opt to save your name, email, and contact preferences in cookies. These cookies streamline your experience by pre-filling forms for future visits and are retained for a maximum of one year, unless you choose to delete them.

Embedded Content from External Sources

Certain content on the Finovanta website, such as financial reports or market updates, may include embedded elements from third-party sites. These elements function similarly to visiting those sites directly, and they may collect data, use cookies, or track your engagement with the content.

Data Storage and Sharing Practices

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the email notification for security purposes.

Data submitted through comments or registration forms, along with associated metadata, may be retained indefinitely to support account management and fraud prevention, in compliance with POPIA regulations.

Personal information provided during registration is stored on secure, encrypted servers, protected by industry-standard technical measures, and accessible only to authorized personnel.

Your Rights Under POPIA

Under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you or request its deletion, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate security reasons.
