WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

​

National Junior Development Centre - NPO (“we” “us” or “our”) is a facility that develops and promotes sport and owns / operates this website.

This website privacy policy describes how we process information we collect and/or receive from you.

​

1. What Is Personal information?

Personal information is defined by the Protection of Personal Information Act (“POPIA”), as ‘any information relating to an identifiable living natural or existing juristic person’.

Personal information is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal information covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

We process personal information by both automated (electronically) and non-automated means (paper based as part of a filing system).

​

1. What Are My Rights?

Under POPIA, you have the right to have your personal information processed according to 8 processing conditions that are summarized as follows:

Condition 1 – Accountability. 

We must ensure that the conditions set out in Chapter 3 of the Act and all the associated measures are complied with. 

Condition 2 – Personal information must be collected and processed lawfully in a reasonable manner that does not infringe on your rights.  Personal information may only be processed if it is adequate, relevant, and not excessive. 

Personal information may only be processed if you consent thereto, alternatively where it is necessary to do so for the conclusion or performance of a contract, an obligation in terms of law, to protect your legitimate interest/s, or to pursue our legitimate interest/s.

Personal information must as far as possible be collected directly from you. 

Condition 3 requires that personal information must be collected for a specific explicitly defined and lawful purpose related to a function or activity of ours. Such personal information may not be retained any longer than necessary for achieving the purposes for which the information was collected and/or subsequently processed. 

Condition 4 prohibits the further processing of your personal information unless such processing is compatible with the initial purpose of collecting the information. 

Condition 5 requires us to take reasonable, practicable steps to ensure that your personal information is complete, accurate, and not misleading.  Such personal information must also be kept up to date, taking into consideration the purpose of the personal information. 

The nature and purpose of your personal information will dictate as to how often such information must be updated. 

Condition 6 requires that we must, as far as it is practicable, inform you before your personal information is collected and the purpose of collecting and from where your personal information will be collected. 

You are entitled to our details and must be made aware of the consequences of not disclosing personal information to us where it is required for a specific purpose. 

You must also be made aware if your personal information is collected and processed as requirement established in law. 

As per Section 72 of the Act, you will be advised if your personal information will be transferred across the borders of South Africa. 

Condition 7 requires that we must secure the integrity and confidentiality of your personal information by taking appropriate reasonable, technical, and organisational measures, to prevent the loss thereof or unlawful access thereto. 

Condition 8 - You have the right to establish whether your personal information is held by us and to have it corrected or destroyed if it is inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, out of date, incomplete, misleading, or have been obtained unlawfully.
