Privacy Policy & Cookies
Elastic Technology Solutions (Pty) Ltd, registration number: 2012/002580/07 (hereinafter referred to as “radiantWEB”, “we”, “us” or ”our”) is committed to ensuring the protection of the privacy of all visitors (“Visitors”) to our website at https:/radiantweb.co.za (the “Site”), as well as all persons (“Customers”) who have registered for an account with us in order to subscribe to our services.
Where we refer to “personal information”, it means personal information as defined in the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (“POPI“), and “personal data” as per the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“the GDPR“). Personal information includes any information about a person that can be used to identify a person directly or indirectly. It includes information like a name, an identification number, location information, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person. POPI includes the personal information of juristic persons in its ambit – so we will protect the personal information of juristic persons in the same manner as any other person’s personal information.
This privacy policy (“this Policy”) describes the ways in which we collect, store, use and protect your personal information. Throughout this Policy, we use the term “personal information” to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person.

While we do keep information about you on our system (such as your name, address, and email address), we will never disclose this information to third parties unless we are either compelled to by law or required to in order to deliver the services that you have subscribed to.
