This notice explains how personal information is handled when you visit warwicksoar.com or contact Warwick Soar. Warwick Soar is the responsible party for this website and can be contacted in Johannesburg, South Africa, at info@warwicksoar.com.
Information collected
Information may be supplied directly by you through the contact form, in an email, or through another enquiry route. Contact-form submissions are sent by email and are not retained in the website database. Basic technical information may also be recorded automatically by the website and hosting infrastructure, such as an IP address, browser details, requested pages, timestamps, and security logs.
- Contact details and the contents of an enquiry.
- Technical and security data generated when the site is requested.
- Information you choose to provide about a project, organisation, or requirement.
Purpose and lawful use
Information is used to respond to enquiries, assess possible work, provide requested services, maintain records, operate and secure the website, and meet legal obligations. Processing is based on consent where appropriate, steps requested before a possible agreement, performance of an agreement, legitimate operational or security interests, or a legal duty.
Supplying enquiry information is voluntary. Without enough contact and project context, a useful response may not be possible. The site does not use automated decision-making to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
Sharing, operators, and international processing
Information may be handled by service providers that support hosting, email, security, analytics, or professional advice, and by a relevant business when an enquiry is directed to Pulse Works or OneNode. Information is not sold. A disclosure may also be made when required by law.
Some service providers may process information outside South Africa. Where that happens, reasonable contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards are used, taking account of POPIA requirements for cross-border transfers.
Optional analytics
Google Analytics 4 is used only after you select “Accept analytics”. It helps show which pages and projects are useful, whether visitors follow contact or business links, and whether a project video is started. Google may receive technical information including an online identifier, approximate location derived from an IP address, device and browser information, and page or interaction details. Analytics information may be processed outside South Africa under Google’s own terms and safeguards.
If you select “Continue without”, the analytics script is not loaded. Your choice is stored in your browser so the site can remember it. You can change that choice at any time through “Privacy choices” in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics collection from this browser but does not remove information already processed.
YouTube and external services
Project videos use locally stored preview images. No YouTube frame is loaded until you activate a video. When you do, YouTube receives technical information under its own terms and privacy practices. External websites linked from this site operate under their own notices.
Retention and security
Information is kept only as long as reasonably required for the purpose collected, legitimate record-keeping, dispute resolution, security, or legal obligations. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet service can promise absolute security.
Your choices and rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask whether personal information is held, request access or correction, object to certain processing, ask for deletion where appropriate, withdraw consent, or complain. Contact info@warwicksoar.com to make a request. Identity may need to be verified before information is released or changed.
