Data Privacy

We are aware that we are working with individual’s private data and have ensured that consent is properly obtained, and that the information received is well protected in an encrypted system.

In terms of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005, employers are permitted to engage in fraud detection and prevention activities without the express consent of their employees so as not to alert potential subjects of investigations. 

Our system is fully compliant with POPIA, the National Credit Act plus we comply with TransUnion’s strict guidelines on data security and handling of personal information. In addition, your data is encrypted to protect and secure it. We use blockchain to encrypt and secure our electronically signed contracts so that you can verify its integrity at any stage in the commercial process.
