This policy explains how Private Investigators South Africa (privateinvestigatorsa.co.za) handles personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
What We Collect
- Details you enter in the request form, such as your first name, contact details, city or area, the service you need, a short description, a safe contact time and your consent to share the enquiry.
- The page you sent the request from, so we know which service you were looking at.
- Messages you send us by phone or WhatsApp.
- Basic technical information, such as your IP address, recorded by the form service to help prevent spam.
Please do not send ID documents, passwords, intimate images or evidence through the form or to us. Share case details only with the investigator you choose.
Why We Use It
- To pass your enquiry, with your permission, to independent investigators suited to your request.
- To respond to your questions.
- To prevent spam and abuse, and to improve the service.
Who We Share It With
When you submit a request and agree to it being shared, we pass your enquiry to investigators suited to it, not to every investigator. Those businesses are separate and handle your information under their own responsibilities. The request form is provided by Elfsight, and we also use service providers that host the website and deliver messages. We do not sell your information.
Third-Party Services on This Website
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts, the request form and a reviews widget from Elfsight, a notification widget from ProveSource and a Google follow button. These services may receive your IP address and browser details when the page loads, under their own privacy policies.
How Long We Keep It
We keep request information only as long as needed to handle your request and meet legal or record-keeping obligations, then delete it.
Your Rights
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to its use, by contacting us through the contact page. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
Security
The website uses encrypted (HTTPS) connections and we take reasonable steps to protect your information. No system is completely secure.
Changes
We may update this policy. The version on this page is the current one.
Get the Best Quote, Fast
Keep it brief. Do not send ID documents, passwords, intimate images or evidence through this form. Your enquiry is passed only to investigators suited to the job, and you decide whether to go ahead.
