Google's advertising requirements are set out in its Advertising Principles. We use Google AdSense advertising on our website.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads based on visits to this and other sites. Users may opt out through Google's ad and content network privacy policy.
We have implemented remarketing with Google AdSense, Demographics and Interests Reporting, and DoubleClick Platform Integration.
We and third-party vendors, such as Google, use first-party and third-party cookies or other identifiers to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and related functions.

South African Protection of Information Act, 2013, also known as POPI Act
The Act promotes the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies, establishes requirements for processing personal information, provides for an Information Regulator, provides for codes of conduct and rights regarding unsolicited electronic communications and automated decision making, and regulates the flow of personal information across South African borders. Read the Act.

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to collecting personal information from children under 13, COPPA puts parents in control. The United States Federal Trade Commission enforces the COPPA Rule, which sets out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.

The Fair Information Practice Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and have influenced data protection laws around the world.
Should a data breach occur, we will notify users via email and an on-site notification within seven business days.
We agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law, and recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate or prosecute non-compliance.

The CAN-SPAM Act sets rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to stop emails being sent to them, and sets out penalties for violations.
