Who we are

This website, sholanesathu.io, is the personal website of Sholane Sathu, Founder and CEO of Navigate Compliance Group (Navigate Group (Pty) Ltd), South Africa. For the personal information processed through this website, Sholane Sathu is the responsible party under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Questions about this policy or your personal information: Email info@navcompliance.co.za or call +27 73 956 9407.

We subscribe to the conditions of POPIA and to the principles set out in section 51 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002, so that you are protected whenever you share personal information with us.

Our commitments

• We will not collect, process or disclose your personal information without your permission, unless we are legally required to do so.
• We will only collect, process or store personal information where it is lawful to do so, and only for the purpose we tell you about.
• We will not give your personal information to a third party without your consent, unless we are legally required to do so.
• We keep personal information confidential and take reasonable steps to keep it secure.

What this website collects

This website is deliberately minimal. It has no contact forms, no user accounts, no newsletter sign-up, no comments, and no analytics, advertising or social media tracking. It does not set cookies on visitors’ devices (see our Cookie Policy).

Information you choose to send us

If you email or phone us using the details on this website, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, contact details and the content of your message. We use it only to respond to your enquiry and, if you choose to work with us, to manage that relationship. We do not sell it or use it for marketing without your consent.

Technical information

Like all websites, our hosting provider (Hostinger) automatically processes basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request. This is used to deliver the website and keep it secure.

Third-party services this website uses

To display the website, your browser loads files from these providers, which receive your IP address and browser information in order to deliver them:

• Google Fonts (Google LLC): typefaces used on the page.
• cdnjs (Cloudflare, Inc.) and jsDelivr: open-source animation libraries.
• Hostinger: website hosting and caching.

These providers may process information outside South Africa, under their own privacy policies and safeguards. Links to Navigate Compliance Group’s website and to LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook take you to sites with their own privacy policies.

Why we process information

We process personal information to operate a secure website (our legitimate interest) and to respond to enquiries you send us (with your consent, or to take steps you request). We collect only what is necessary for these purposes.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with the service providers listed above as needed to run this website, or where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Enquiries are kept only as long as needed to respond, and for any resulting professional relationship or legal obligation. Hosting logs are kept for the provider’s standard security periods.

Methods of processing

Personal information is processed using computers and IT-enabled tools, following procedures strictly related to the purposes described here, with appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification or destruction. Where necessary, it may be accessible to service providers we appoint as operators, such as our hosting provider. The website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.

Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, and object to its processing. To make a request, contact us using the details above. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa) at inforegulator.org.za. Visitors in other jurisdictions, such as the European Union or United Kingdom, have similar rights and may contact us in the same way.

Children

This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed at children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, for example if the website begins to use new services. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
